I grew up on the East Coast during Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Sand affecting my family and friends. This song really meant a lot during that time. Now I live in Maui and we just had a huge fire rip through our island destroying nearly the entire Historic Lahaina town. Displacing hundreds and destroying many businesses and livelihoods in the process. We're hurting right now, but this song gives me hope that help will come and help just like it has in past situations like this. If anyone sees this and wants to help, the Maui Mutual Aid Fund is actively working to help those in need and help rebuild. This only just happened, and more opportunities to help will arise, but this is organization is a good start!
I remember this too damn well. My friend at that time was a truck driver and he was delievering goods to the gulf coast region,and he didn't wanna go alone,so I tagged along as a true friend would. When we arrived in the region,I was absolutley devestated and ashamed to be an American for the catastrophe which happened to the citizens of this region. They just didn't need food and water; they needed a damn hug. The people of the gulf coast and what I seen that day changed my life forever.
The Video is a what if scenario, the U.S. didn't actually respond or help like this at all. Honestly there is a lot of parallels between the Covid 19 response as well. Not enough help, most of it to late to do any good, and a lot of Americans dead for no real reason other then that our government sucks and doesn't really care.
Years later, this video still makes me cry--because this is how it SHOULD have been. It's not how it was, but imagining a better future helps make that future possible.
Lembrei dessa música amigo e lembrei dessa tragedia no rio grande do sul , tinha visto esse vídeo a uns 15 anos atrás e recordei da semelhança desses dois eventos!! Sou do Paraná... abraço
The Skids true Legends Richard Jobson and The late great Stewart Adamson wrote this brilliant song. U2 and Green day both done superb cover versions of this classic Skids tune.
Does anyone else just involuntarily break into tears when they see what SHOULD have happened? Can you imagine how much less suffering could have occurred? I am an adopted only child, and my birth family came from a small town nearby New Orleans. To this day I still wonder and worry what happened to them, if they were still there, but I'm too scared to reach out to them and hear something bad. RIP to those lives lost in this horrific tragedy, wherein the government showed their true colors. If this were really a nation "for and by the people", we would have made more of an effort to save those unfortunate citizens.
Hi I read your response to the video "The Saints are Coming"! & it's obviously your heart and thus your morals are in place! You're a rarity in these days~so please don't let anyone discourage your great responses and view of what should be....Cuz you're right on ! :-)
+anadryantontine You are stronger than you think! Be brave and contact your family. I am for your! Beautiful written. You are a true soul! Remember that you are strong, that your are fantastic no matter what other people say to drag you down.
I cannot watch this video without crying. I was Pascagoula, MS when the storm hit, those of us on the Mississippi Gulf Coast were ignored by the media and relief efforts. But I'm not angry about it. This storm affected all of us and it pisses me off that our boys were over fighting and dying for oil when they should have been here.
An amazing song! I used to play it every morning while exercising or just waking up, to motivate me. I saw this song performed at Aloha Stadium and I am so grateful for that experience! I clearly remember seeing Billy Jo and family (early morning, tired kids) at SFO, lining up for the flight to Oahu from SFO
Me as a Man City supporter and my dad Cardiff I went to Cardiff vs Southampton this season Man City last season the saint are coming got played at cardiff
My friend just shared this video with me. U2 is one of my all-time favorite bands. May we all be reminded about the power of helping each other when we come together like this.
This song was originally by The Skids. Their guitarist Stuart Adamson went on to form Big Country after the Skids, and in 2001 he commit suicide. May he rest in peace.
danielscissorhands U2 remain good friends with The Skids and got their blessing to do this. Plus they'd need permission to give the royalties to Music Rising.
Actually, the first line and tune is taken from a 1964 song called "The House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals. It's a brilliant classic, do give it a listen.
Since 2 years I appreciate this song even more than before. My entire family was affected by the severe flooding in the Ahr Valley in Germany and the following morning a large part of the Bundeswehr was already mobilized and on its way to the rescue mission. This should have been done in New Orleans with the US troops as well.
I simply love this. It gives me goosebumps. The Green Day-U2 combination was just perfect and The Edge was the mastermind behind this production and engagement with the New Orleans rebuild community.
I know I’m 7 years late to the comment. But the skids (who made this song originally) still tour and sound amazing. Obviously it’s not the same style as this. But the skids sound amazing. I’ve seen them live twice and every time it doesn’t disappoint.
Patriot_Fighter I love the song, but gets me teary eyed. I remember the coverage of Katrina and it haunts me. Can't believe its been a decade since. As for the song, best collaboration I've heard. These guys should do an album together.
I remember watching this on my old bulky computer back in 2008 when this video didn't have anywhere close to this many views. Such great times, Green Day really rocked in this music video. I've never really been a U2 fan but I like then in this song though.
I still have to choke back tears. Katrina did 2 things to our city in traumatized us for life and it taught us to come together all color creed in unity and that no one would look out for us like us. That’s why while the rest of the country deals with different things New Orleans remains together
And here I find myself again. I can't believe this is happening again. I love you I love my family there dear god don't let this be another Katrina. We love you New Orleans.
New Orleans ? Ida obliterated the southeast parishes 75% of lafourche parish is gone. Nearly everyone is homeless now and all people think is New Orleans is the only place in LA that exists..
@@mistypedhi Hello yes my family primarily is from Plaquemines and Terrebonne Cajun through and through that whole side. I just happen to know /some/ people who live in the city as well, but that's what's most identifiable to most people outside LA, thus leaving it in a RUclips comment. Thankfully none of them I know got hurt but I don't know maybe be like 5% more sensitive when commenting back to someone who very clearly lost people to the hurricanes before and been scared of it happening again sayin I don't know shit bout LA alright.
I love how the video ends with the tanks fading away, a hard hitting message right there in of itself. That's what the government could have done in order to help those in need but instead they kept them in Iraq fighting a colonialist war for oil. Green day and u2 don't get enough credit for their hard hitting political messaging like that.

Brilliant video.
wow... this is a great song and vid guys.. i didnt know i still hold much emotion watching this. from a person who was directly affected by this, its truly put a stamp on ur life and make you appreciate the simple things in life. this is something that i, along with many, will never forget. i want to thank everyone who had helped us get back on our feet. special thank you to Green Day and U2!.
This song always takes me to when hurricane Katrina hit. And there were so most lost and hopelessness. I had moved to New olreans 3 days before it hit. No one can truly know what it was like then unless you lived it.

This songs reminds of the past, the days the awesome days and how everything passed by and how everything changed in a blink of an eye like no one could ever imagine it. Good old days. This song kills me everytime. Too much drama but believe me its real.
I remember how big it was at the time to have a charity act from two of the most popular bands. Green Day was at its peak with American Idiot and how both bands achieve such a great collab was amazing. Sad how this song seems forgotten now (seeing some comments from 8 years ago!).
Es genial este tema....no puedo por el momento pero en cuanto pueda le subiré a todo volumen y escucharé muchas veces...una fusión en Bandas excelente 👌😍👏👏👏
The 2 best bands in the world combining their energy, focus, power, drive, potential, ability, songwriting, personality and giving back. Praise to the 2 best who focus on everyone other than them.
Not song writing though.. Intro is house of the rising sun.. an american folk song ..and the rest is The saints are coming by The Skids.. It is a cover

I got the feels.
Me too. I'm exactly 21 now. How easily 10 years have passed
oh so you're a veteran
Me too man,
I love how Billie Joe and Bono's completely different voices complement each other so well.
You can listen to this song a million times and never get sick of it.
Listening to this during the Covid 19 crisis. Really gives me hope that there is a light.
sorry to tell you this but this video complains about their inaction

I remember when this came out, this song was a huge deal. So weird how things get forgotten like that. Awesome song
check out the Skids, who wrote it. Stuart Adamson, went on to form Big Country, but the Skids were early U2s biggest influence.

Awesome version. God bless Stuart Adamson. May he rest peacefully.🙏

Green Day + U2
How much more awesome can you get onto one stage?
u2 and any other band.
You got get EXACTLY 100% the wrong way around. U2 WERE great until Bono disappeared completely up his own arse; circa 1997.
Wait till he hears about the hella mega tour
