I've always been a fan of this song, but never thought of it as a gospel song, until seeing this last year... Hallelujah!! What a very powerful performance!!
There's actually a You Tube video of U2 performing this song back in the 80s with a church choir from Brooklyn, NY... You might want to check it out... I thought it was awesome.
Nobody pulls this sort of thing (interacting with fans/other performers not in the band) off better than U2. And they’ve done it basically from day one. Live Aid is an example of it. I love the look on Edge’s face at 3:42. You could tell he’s actually enjoying the show. It must be uniquely satisfying to see someone else performing something you wrote. Especially other highly skilled performers. As this choir clearly is.
Bono says, “Bring me to church. Selah.” It intrigued me so discovered Selah in the Psalms means - to pause and reflect. So we are naming our 7th daughter Selah!
YESSS!!! Such a powerful song and performance!! Bono was actually calling out the name of the gospel choir you hear - Selah Gospel Choir!! Our singers were hidden in plain sight seated among the rest of the audience members. They had no idea we were going to start singing as many of them started checking their seats for microphones, too!! It was a brilliant idea very well executed and so impactful - WE still get the chills every time we watch it, too!!
Agree 100%. Another good one is the one they did at the 25th anniversary of the rock ‘n’ roll Hall of Fame at Madison Square Garden with Bruce Springsteen. It’s a similar arrangement to this except Bruce alternates verses with Bono and basically takes the role of the gospel choir in this performance. It’s phenomenal. If you haven’t seen it I highly recommend it.
My Mom brought me to my 1st concert @ Soldier Field in June, 1997 (nite of Tyson ear biting Holyfield) at the U2 Pop tour. Was never a big fan until that nite. Still the coolest thing ever for a 12 y/o & wouldn’t want it any other way!
Amazing! Such a blessing to my soul. “He will lift you higher and higher; He will give you shelter from the storm” juxtaposed with “still haven’t found what I’m looking for”. Jesus is the answer . . . not politics, religion, economics, or even health. Jesus Christ is what we are looking for. Amen!
It's a shame that U2 is bringing gospel without actually giving the good news. What are these people worshiping? I still haven't found what I'm looking for because our hearts are restless until they find their rest in God. That's the good news. And Bono, the Edge and Larry believe this, and Adam has probably come around too--he is after all named after the first Adam.
U2 actually almost broke up early in their careers because three of them could not rectify their Christian faith with rock 'n' roll. Read "One Step Closer: Why U2 Matters to Those Seeking God." I just found a copy for four bucks on eBay.
@@ramonarellano4988 I wouldn't say faith needs a doubt. That's certainly not the motivation for faith. If Bono means that truth has a falsehood, that's certainly true.
@@konroh2 - for context, here are the lyrics of ‘Hawkmoon 269’ by U2: Like a desert needs rain Like a town needs a name I need your love Like a drifter needs a room Hawkmoon I need your love Like a rhythm unbroken Like drums in the night Like sweet soul music Like sunlight I need your love Like coming home And you don't know where you've been Like black coffee Like nicotine I need your love (I need your love) When the night has no end And the day yet to begin As the room spins around I need your love Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy I need your love Like the hot needs the sun Like honey on her tongue Like the muzzle of a gun Like oxygen I need your love (I need your love) When the night has no end And the day yet to begin As the room spins around I need your love Like thunder needs rain Like a preacher needs pain Like tongues of flame Like a sheet stained I need your love Like a needle needs a vein Like someone to blame Like a thought unchained Like a runaway train I need your love *Like faith needs a doubt* Like a freeway out I need your love Like powder needs a spark Like lies need the dark I need your love In the heat of the love in the heart In the heat of the love in the heart
isnt it funny how u2s last 2 tours have been mostly about their old music because anything after the joshua tree is complete crap! and before i get abuse i used to be a serious fan seen them play in a cyms hall in ireland when about 25 people showed up and i couldnt get a ticket for the joshua 25 tour !!!!
Found this based on a recommendation from a comment on Rick Beato’s analysis video - what a happy discovery.
Same!
That's my choir people!!!!! Selah Gospel Choir of Pasadena, California. DA BESTEST!!!!! Check 'em out on YT and hire them!!!
🥰🎶✨
Woow
U2 is the most powerful singer and performer on earth

Check out "Rattle & Hum," both the album and the movie. I love this version, too
@@joehinson9460 I have heard several songs from that album; my favorite is "When Love Comes to Town", with B.B. King.
The whole along is about Jesus and never finding fulfillment until we get to heaven
This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen. (came back 2 years later....still holds up!!)
This version of the song gets to me every time I hear it. Every. Single. Time.

That's pretty awesome! A beautiful name with a great meaning
Also In Islam their form of prayer is called Salah.

@@selahgospelchoir thank you for sharing that! Well thank you for helping us choose a name for our daughter! She is 4 months now.
Watching this brought tears to my eyes!!! It amazing how music can do that! Love U2 and there great music!!!
Easily one of the best performances of this song.

This moves me to tears every time I see it

You don't swipe at Bono.

@@joehinson9460 Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into that. Can you tell me what denomination they are? I assume Anglican.
Like Bono says in "Hawckmoon 269" faith needs a doubt.

@@konroh2 - for context, here are the lyrics of ‘Hawkmoon 269’ by U2:
Like a desert needs rain
Like a town needs a name
I need your love
Like a drifter needs a room
Hawkmoon
I need your love
Like a rhythm unbroken
Like drums in the night
Like sweet soul music
Like sunlight
I need your love
Like coming home
And you don't know where you've been
Like black coffee
Like nicotine
I need your love (I need your love)
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
Like a Phoenix rising needs a holy tree
Like the sweet revenge of a bitter enemy
I need your love
Like the hot needs the sun
Like honey on her tongue
Like the muzzle of a gun
Like oxygen
I need your love (I need your love)
When the night has no end
And the day yet to begin
As the room spins around
I need your love
Like thunder needs rain
Like a preacher needs pain
Like tongues of flame
Like a sheet stained
I need your love
Like a needle needs a vein
Like someone to blame
Like a thought unchained
Like a runaway train
I need your love
*Like faith needs a doubt*
Like a freeway out
I need your love
Like powder needs a spark
Like lies need the dark
I need your love
In the heat of the love in the heart
In the heat of the love in the heart

It was the Joshua Tree 30 tour, what a "real" fan you are... also a "serious fan" doesn't call their bands work crap...
@@timdinnissen who cares! 25 30 still crap
@@Mr2stardiver- troll - u2 is as good as ever: every breaking wave, one, ordinary love, ms. Sarajevo - you're no loss to the band....
