That's the thing about The Edge. If you don't like his playing, you really don't like it. But if it hooks you in you'll love it forever. I'm in the latter category for sure :)
U2 has many great hits, especially from the 80s and 90s. With or without you, Where the Streets have no name, One, Sunday Bloody Sunday, etc. Keep ´em coming.
One of my favorite songs by U2! A big thank you to your dad once again for selecting this song. I know a few of us from your RUclips family suggested it. Seems like yesterday when I heard this song played on the radio for the first time. Loved it right away. So glad the two of you enjoyed it. As always, loved your reaction, thoughts and feelings. Great job, ladies! Looking forward to what is next on this magical music journey we are all taking with you. Love and blessings! 💖
As always, thank you Suzy for your lovely comments! And thank you for liking our reactions! U2 is a lovely band with positive messages it seems! And Bono's singing is simply beautiful !
@@danasfaith5738 I look forward to your reaction videos! The two of you have come a long way....much more relaxed and you actually draw us all in as if we are there with the two of you. I just love the two of you! Such sweet and beautiful young ladies. Looking forward to more great bands and reaction videos! 💖
U2 live is quite the experience. Live Aid is a definite one to watch. The Electric Co from Dortmund Germany 1984. Desire from Rattle & Hum. UltraViolet from the 360 Tour.
one of their best songs, check out other songs from that time like Sunday Bloody Sunday, I will Follow, 11 O'clock Tick Tock, Where the Streets Have No Name.There are so many good songs of them with a pretty deep meaning and with a lot of passion.
I so love you two (no that wasn't a pun}. To see two young ladies responding in a way that i did decades ago to the same music that moved me fills me with hope that there is still hope for this world. I love watching your reactions because it reinforces my belief that the things that inspired me could inspire anyone.
Hi Dana's Faith. I'm glad you are enjoying the classic band U2. I have noticed some of the comments concerning the band. As a Galic person they were very political in there song lyrics. There famous one which was a slap in the face of the Britsh Goverment was called "Sunday Bloody Sunday" .. It lets us never forget when British soldiers shot Irish persons in the street.
I could watch y'all's reactions over and over....so genuine....I love y'all my girl on the left started hitting them strings....y'all bring happiness to ppl...thank y'all so much ♥️♥️♥️
There is so much more to this song than spreading the message of love. It's also a song about Dr. King, with references to Jesus Christ ("...one man betrayed with a kiss..."). It delves into themes of the death of a man for the sake of a dream, and for the forgiveness of humanity, and the resurrection of the spirit, along with the continuation of the dream. It was also a prayer for Ireland. The images of the children, and the wall that said "East Link"(a housing project in Dublin), were meant to evoke the dream of Dr King when he said that he could see a day when his children would be judged by the content of their character, rather than their skin color, and a plea that Ireland could find a man of King's stature, and ability to bring peace to Northern Ireland, and the religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants; and a time where the children could grow up and be judged not on their religion, but on their character, and value as human beings.
The East Link is a toll bridge. The "wall" is the bridge deck that's upright to let a ship pass through. The "Catholic .v. Protestant" label on the Troubles is also a bit of a media/propaganda creation, the conflict was/is idealogical and political at heart, it was/is about equal power and equal rights which makes it even more relevant to the message of the song.
"Early morning April 4..shots ring out in Memphis skies...free at last..they took your life..they could not take your pride!" Is a shout out to the great Dr. Martin Luther King! He was killed on april 4th in Memphis. U2...You Rule!!✌❤🎶😁
Pride (In The Name Of Love) was awarded Song of the Year in 1984. This song is about the assassination of MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. (born Michael King Jr.; January 15, 1929 - April 4, 1968) was an American Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesman and leader in the civil rights movement from 1955 until his assassination in 1968. In 1976 they were still in school when they formed the Band.
The Beatles released Blackbird which was about the same thing and how minorities will rise out of their very dark oppression. ''Take these broken wings and learn to fly all your life, we are only waiting for the moment to arrive''
this makes my 49yearold heart jump around in joy ... watching two girls " feeling" this song ..... you have been touched by the spirit of U2 !!! enjoy their music !!!
One you should check out by U2 is the song Sunday Bloody Sunday live at red rocks. This is the song that not just put U2 on the map but MTV plus the concert venue is beautiful to look at and it put that place on the map as well.
Cool song. Great reaction. Thank you so much! U2 have a ton of live videos that are fun to watch and listen too. One of my favs is Zoo TV Live Broadcast from Sydney Australia. In particular "Mysterious Ways" and "Where the Streets have No Name" (as in heaven). ✌& 💚
adorable little ladies :) you have embarked on an incredible journey of discovery into the music of the once BIGGEST band on the planet and most successful LIVE band EVER! enjoy from Ireland home of the boys!
I s this going to be a habit for you ladies using U2 songs on holidays. New Years Day on Jan 1st and Pride on MLK day. Both very appropriate choices well done. Might I suggest All I want is you/ Where the streets have no name live at Slane Castle to really get a sense of the power of U2
@@danasfaith5738 I would suggest doing Running to Stand Still/Where the streets have no name from Sydney 1993. That was probably the most epic transition between songs I've ever heard. But the All I want is you/Where the streets have no name transition is also very excellent.
Great choice for a song. I love classic U2. They also have a beautiful song called MLK also about Dr. King. Perfect choice to honor a man we need to remember now more than ever. THANK YOU.
You have the same face I had when for the firste time I listened to "Where the streets have no name" (by the way, listen to it) in 1997 (I was 13 and that song was already 10 years old)... you brought me to a beautiful past... thank you, young ladies...🌹
I am a U2 fan from all the way back to October. In this song Bono compares MLK's assassination to the betrayal of Jesus Christ. Two men who sought peace betrayed by the nation and people they sought to help.
Hi girls nice reaction again U 2 have many good songs another great Irish band is thin lizzy good songs are emerald,the boys are back in town, black rose,whiskey in the jar Metallica have a nice cover of that song also I think you girls will love it!
Your reactions are beautiful. I love to see the joy and emotions on your faces, and you brilliantly express your feelings during the song which is the true reason we watch reaction videos. You girls are awesome! Keep up the amazing videos! 👏
The deep understanding of this song and those referenced in it would bring most to tears as to what happened to them because they didn't "bend the knee" is what would have you shaking. This is a wonderful song of how men didn't see a waste in humanity, but the courage to withstand those who opposed the solidarity of man.
Once more in the nane of love 🎶🎶🎶🎶 hugs and keep rocking Mia and Juliet 😃✌🏻 next monday you should try Soda Stereo - Profugos ( vivo gira me veras volver 2007)
Props to you for realizing this song was a tribute to the late great Martin Luther King Junior (April 4, a shot rings out in the Memphis sky), but did you catch the reference to "one man betrayed with a kiss?" as well? Nice to see you branching out and trying more music varieties as well! For an upcoming International Monday (or any day, really) may I recommend a couple of Canadian artists? "American Woman" by the Guess Who or "Hey Hey My My" live by Neil Young. Cheers!
"A shot rings out in the Memphis sky, free at last, they took your life, they could not take your PRIDE" This song will always give me the chills!! MLK for life!! ! btw, whoever picked this song for International Monday is a genius! YEE!
I mean Everyone will love these girls playing with such an innocense that almost seems to me as if they were singing themselves. In the name of the Past! Mother! in the name of Love! one more in the name of love
They wrote this one about the murder of Martin Luther King. That's the man they're talking about in the song, and also in some parts about Jesus and others with a similar positive message that ended up being killed for it.
Nice work girls, you can see everyone commenting has their favorite U2 songs, I haven't seen anyone react to "Walk On" or "In a little While" U2 at their emotional best
Great song. I know you must read it all the time but you can see that you guys really appreciate good music for what it is. Might I suggest "Man of Constant Sorrow" by Home Free and "Dark was the Night, Cold was the Ground" by Blind Willie Johnson.
Yes, and Jesus as well (one man betrayed with a kiss). They conflate the two with dying for a higher purpose, freedom of a people , and salvation of people. Though not highly publicized, Bono is a Christian. So is Larry.
Yes. April 4, 1968. I was born a few days later in D.C. My dad was in the Army at the time and was on riot duty when I was born. (Not that rioting might not be warranted in this case)
So true. I haven't listened to them in quite a while and the other day I heard one of their songs and when the guitar rang in...my hair stood up. Wow. LOL Now I'm snooping reaction videos :-D
Mia and Juliet: 1) Excellent choice!! This song is about Martin Luther King and today is Martin Luther King day. 2) U-2 could easily associate with MLK's cause. From the 1940's to 1999 Northern Ireland (where U-2 is from) had it's "troubles". The IRA (Irish Republican Party) was trying to run the British out of Northern Ireland. The IRA set off a long series of bombs towards this goal-the deadliest, which went off in a marketplace on a Sunday morning killing many women and children. The incident is marked in the U-2 song-Sunday Bloody Sunday. The IRA finally called a truce in 1999 (not surrendering) realizing that all they were doing was killing their own people. 3) I sent you a Bandslam DVD. U-2 is referenced in the movie. "Because of the Sex Pistols some guys in Ireland formed a band called U-2. Seeing U-2 inspired a band called The Killers. The list is endless!!" 4) To see a truly excellent movie about "the troubles", watch Patriot Games, starring Harrison Ford.
Hey Pope! We are happy that you liked our choice for a reaction today on MLK's Day! Thank you for sending us the Bandslam DVD! We did receive it, but we were not sure as to who sent it to us! Now we know! LOL! We will watch it this week, when we are down with HW and chores! LOL! I think we'll save Patriot games for the weekend! LOL! Thank you again for the DVD and we can not wait to watch it!
Should see the Red Rocks video!!! It's a natural Amphitheater in Morrison Colorado just outside Denver with kick ass views!!! It was pouring rain but they decided to go on and the rest was history
The best thing about this song is how The Edge’s playing just gets better and better.
That's the thing about The Edge. If you don't like his playing, you really don't like it. But if it hooks you in you'll love it forever. I'm in the latter category for sure :)

Bono at every concert I saw would thank the audience for giving them a great life.
Only just found your channel
Love the joy that you show in the music
Your parents must be very proud of you
Well done lovely girls
Thank you Mark for your kind words! : )
Excelente grupo chicas. Me recordó mi juventud así que mil gracias por ello. Cariños desde Chile 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Gracias Pato! Saludos de California!
What a great voice Bono had until late 80's...and really great reaction!!
One Of My Favorite U2 Songs
It`s so beautiful to see you booth enjoying this wonderful Song !!
I've watched a hundreds of reaction videos ..this is my all time favorite ....y'all are so genuine ♥️💪💪💪♥️♥️♥️
I love how Bono sings the chorus in this song! It sounds like he's on top of a mountain!
As always loved the review! Thanks, gals. You definitely got the message of the song!
"I Will Follow" this hooked me when I heard it on the radio, thank you ladies!
U2 live is quite the experience. Live Aid is a definite one to watch. The Electric Co from Dortmund Germany 1984. Desire from Rattle & Hum. UltraViolet from the 360 Tour.
Electric Co, such a good tune
Congratulations! Please more U2 reactions
Fantastic song . Fantastic reaction. It's timeless.
Great cheerful review. Thanks much to both of you.
I've never seen this video. Thank you for showing it. Im defiantly going to go through a U2 deep dive.
Hey Scott! This was a beautiful song and great video! U2 is great!
I remember my reaction when i first heard this back in 1984
Hi girls, thank you for this reaction.
You should definitely react to their live video U2 - Bad (Live Aid 1985)
U2 Best Band Ever
one of their best songs, check out other songs from that time like Sunday Bloody Sunday, I will Follow, 11 O'clock Tick Tock, Where the Streets Have No Name.There are so many good songs of them with a pretty deep meaning and with a lot of passion.
U2 The Unforgettable Fire 1984.. this album houses this track ,,,, ADVISE: hear whole album.... 7 stars the best!!!!
Great that you like U2..I was lucky to see them 3 times in the early 1980's in LA.
I so love you two (no that wasn't a pun}. To see two young ladies responding in a way that i did decades ago to the same music that moved me fills me with hope that there is still hope for this world. I love watching your reactions because it reinforces my belief that the things that inspired me could inspire anyone.
Thank you guido!
MLK's song on MLK Day. Fitting.
Great song and reaction! That's the great Chrissy Hynde from The Pretenders on backup vocals.:)
Love U2!! One of my favorite tunes by them!
Great reaction video! Thanks ladies!!✌❤🎶😁
That just shows this song is multi generational. Epic song of the 80's by the epic band of the 80's. Their best decade for sure.
Still haven't found what I'm looking for and Where the streets have no name are my fav U2 songs.
Bono and his guitar player walk in a bar, the bartender looks up and says..U2 again!
That's a good one.😀

There a couple of songs I really love from U2. This is one of them.
Chicas... U2 " I Will Follow "
You would have loved seeing their stadium shows.
"THE EDGE!!!"
The Rattle and Hum tour was recorded at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe.
Tickets were 5$
"Early morning April 4..shots ring out in Memphis skies...free at last..they took your life..they could not take your pride!" Is a shout out to the great Dr. Martin Luther King! He was killed on april 4th in Memphis. U2...You Rule!!✌❤🎶😁
Outstanding song and performance for MLK. The song still hits me after all these years. You both nailed it ~
Thank you Kat!

“Early evening, April four
A shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride” MLK reference....
And the first half of the song is about the betrayal of Jesus.
Kudos on both references
There's rarely pure meaningful songs nowadays....
Great to see you Ladies in the 80's ! For a little higher intensity U2, check out "Gloria". Mom's a good influence !
Into the Heart
just remember the lyrics..Early morning April 4.. A Shot Rings out in the Memphis Sky..................MLK is Gone but they couldnt take his PRIDE
His pride was in the name of Love, the Creator. ✌🏼
"A shot rings out in the Memphis sky, free at last, they took your life, they could not take your PRIDE" This song will always give me the chills!! MLK for life!! ! btw, whoever picked this song for International Monday is a genius!

LOL! Our dad says that there were many great suggestions for today! It was really difficult to choose one! LOL!
@@danasfaith5738 LOL!!
Listen to their live version of this song on the live album Rattle and hum I think you would love it
Nope watch the live version on youtube where they play at Red Rocks in Colorado
Our life in the 80' was full of dreans and music that led us a little better so far.
Great reaction! It’s awesome you guys are doing 80s tracks keep it up 🙌

That's true m' lady. Who can say just how many hours I spent watching MTV? Probably as many I spent watching ESPN. Jeez, that's a lot.
Nice work girls, you can see everyone commenting has their favorite U2 songs, I haven't seen anyone react to "Walk On" or "In a little While" U2 at their emotional best
You should watch Zooropa in Mexico ...you will learn more about this amazing band
I like your reactions they are very genuine.. Much love respect.
Thank you Hector!
U2 saw them twice what a great band. also try English Beat, the Specials, The Selector.
Ladies, great song choice to react to and give respect to MLK on this day. Thank you both!
Great song. I know you must read it all the time but you can see that you guys really appreciate good music for what it is. Might I suggest "Man of Constant Sorrow" by Home Free and "Dark was the Night, Cold was the Ground" by Blind Willie Johnson.
Thank you Eric for your kind comment ! It is comments like yours that keep is going! We will give our dad your suggestions!
It's also about the murder of the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. who was killed on April 4th as they state in the song. April 4, 1968.
Yes, and Jesus as well (one man betrayed with a kiss). They conflate the two with dying for a higher purpose, freedom of a people , and salvation of people. Though not highly publicized, Bono is a Christian. So is Larry.
