Don't let it kill US. It is a contest for Miss Sarajevo during the terrible fratricidal war in the ex Yugoslavia. Pavarotti organized this charity concert called Pavarotti & Friends in Italy every year and no pop music star answered NO to his call because he is the GOAT.
This song is technically from a U2 side project called Passengers which was U2 and Brian Eno as a band member instead of just the producer. The name Original Soundtracks 1 for the album is because the idea was to make music for movies that didn't exist. The album version of the video shows alot of footage from the war and the damage done. The lyrics and title are about an actual beauty contest that was held in the middle of the war in a inspirational/defiant way. That banner actually says "DON'T LET THEM KILL US."
One of the most beautiful songs ever written Bono and Brian Eno { formerly of Roxy music fame} have collaborated many times down the years on U2 songs/albums and it always produces genius, this was written about a beauty pageant that took place at the time of the civil war in the former Yugoslavia paying homage to the courage of those people involved this song with the added vocal of Pavarotti is on another level.
You should review this same song live in Milan.. Bono does the Pavarotti part and it’s his most stunning and powerful vocal performance ever. You would be the first to review it if you do.
Sad what happened in sarajevo (1994). They showed raw footage of the massacres that happened there. Horrible. You wished it never happened. This was a tribute by the "Passengers" feat bono & pavarotti right after the war.
When U2 was a cash machine more than a pop rock band...I was in Sarajevo that time, this song was not so popular. Too cash and stars, far away from what people was waiting for 😢 But the effort was appreciate. I think the same too. So i cannot be objective about 😞

Or Chicago 2011
2011 version is better
Just listened to it. After hearing Pavarotti brilliant powerful version, I must say Bono should have left it alone, he sounded forced and weak.
When this song is done at a U2 concert now Bono does the opera part. It really is stunning and Bono does such an amazing job at it.
Epic ballad😢
Goosebumps from beginning to end, Pavarotti killed this song so much passion in his vocals
The note Pav begins at 6:12 is God like!
This song always give me goosepumps, if you don't feel something listening Pavatotti on this one, u r colder than me.
Watch this Live From MIami, Bono does the Pavarotti bit :-)
You should watch all the "Pavarotti and friends" concerts, a lot of great stars including French ones in them!
WOOOOOOW beautiful
"don't let them kill us"
War. War never changes.
Sad what happened in sarajevo (1994). They showed raw footage of the massacres that happened there. Horrible. You wished it never happened. This was a tribute by the "Passengers" feat bono & pavarotti right after the war.
You really should do the live at Milan of the song... It was in 2005 or 2006
Watch the Clinton 2011 version. Even better.
I'm going to be a pedant now but this is Passenger's not U2. Original soundtracks 1 is amazing album. Check it out
I'm going to be even more of a pedant and say it's Passengers, not Passenger's.
Lost a very good friend because of that war killed him self he couldnt bear the burden of 5000 killed muslims (Sebrenica)
Love you bud!!!!!!!!!!
Pavarotti & friends for jugoslavia war
Bono was "shiping' in his pants having to sing live with Pavarottie!!!
Bono sang opera part in 2005-2006 . Go listen
