A real Bono moment. He is the most emotional and authentic singer to me. I get it if someone considers him to have too much pathos. But this is exactly what I love about him ❤❤❤

In the words of Bono from U2 by U2: " I remember waking up and my mother wasn't around. I asked 'where is she?' I was told 'something has happened with your grandfather'. Then she came back to the house and said 'Your grandfather's dead.' He went out on a high (the night of his jubilee wedding anniversary).. But she was shaken. We were all a bit shaken. And then she went off, because she was the eldest sister, she was the organizer of the family. The next time I saw her was at the graveside, watching her father being buried. And then she collapses. And I see my father carrying her. Everyone's asking, 'What's happened?' 'She fainted!' 'Oh my goodness, she fainted, your mother's fainted!" So everyone's in a bit of a shock but we all go back to number ten. We didn't really know what was going on. I suppose they were trying to keep it from the kids. And then I remember my uncle arriving at the door and wailing, just like little child. It was such a strange thing. I knew something terrible had happened. She had suffered a brain haemorrhage. She stayed alive for about four days, I think. Some powerful things happened in those few days, very powerful things. I read the Bible and I prayed to God not to let my mother die. We were brought in to say goodbye to her: my old man, Norman and me. And then they turned off whatever technology was keeping her alive. That was really extraordinary. They have a choice: they can keep you alive or they can allow you to die - the decision must have been made to allow her to die. They just came in, we all said goodbye and then they pulled a switch. I remember the doctor was very moved. The clergyman, the same Sydney Laing, was a beautiful man, very elegant and great with my dad, who didn't go to our church. And that was it. I had a feeling of the house being pulled down on me. My mother died and then there were just three men living on their own in a house. That is all it was then, it ceased being a home. It was just a house, with three men killing each other slowly, not knowing what to do with our sense of loss and just taking it out on each other. Things could get to a very, very high pitch."
Talent. To write this for his mum and “sometimes you can’t make it on your own” for his Dad. The best of Irish wordsmiths, behan, Joyce, Yeats would be proud.
Completely agree. Even back when they first started, he had poignant lyrics with this type of stuff. I Will Follow is about his mom. Also, as a 17 year recovered addict, I will tell you that hardly any song written by any artist better captured what it’s like to be in the grips of active addiction(Running to Stand Still) and the overwhelming internal tumult of trying to get clean(Bad). Just absolute next level stuff.
Aaron Curtis I’m sorry for your loss ❤️ I lost my grandmother May of 2017. It’s been too long without her here with me . I miss her and I know she’ll always be looking down on me , my guardian angel ❤️ I was named after my grandmother, so I live for her ❤️
So hauntingly beautiful. I saw U2 for the first time this May for my 39th birthday in Las Vegas and was so close, Bono and Edge saw me, waved and nodded at me then posed for a photo. While I'm not a fan of Bono's politics, I've been a fan of their music my entire life. It was breathtaking. 🌹🌹🌹
Bono, I always appreciate your letting us be part of your life. It is a part of us too.Thank you and it makes us not just bond with you but show we can all bond with all. I feel the best is to understand all and forgive all. That is how we all go to heaven, that is the secret. Try to change the hateful, but forgive everyone as Jesus did. And as we are still alive, get as many to understand this.
Come si fa???? Come si fa a dire che gli U2 sono finiti??? Come si fa a non adorarli e a non piangere???♥️♥️♥️Conoscendo la storia di Bono e ascoltando questa canzone i brividi vengono per forza! IDOLO ASSOLUTO!
The star that gives us light Has been gone a while But it’s not an illusion The ache in my heart Is so much a part of who I am Something in your eyes Took a thousand years to get here Something in your eyes Took a thousand years, a thousand years Hold me close Hold me close and don’t let me go Hold me close Like I’m someone that you might know Hold me close The darkness just lets us see Who we are I’ve got your life inside of me Iris, Iris Once we are born We begin to forget The very reason we came But you I’m sure I’ve met Long before the night The stars went out We’re meeting up again Hold me close Hold me close and don’t let me go Hold me close Like I’m someone that you might know Hold me close The darkness just lets us see Who we are I’ve got your life inside of me Iris, Iris The start are bright But do they know The universe is beautiful but cold You took me by the hand I thought that I was leading you But it was you made me your man Machine, I dream where you are Iris standing in the hall She tells me I can do it all Iris wakes to my nightmare Don’t fear the world It isn’t there Iris playing on the Strand She buries the boy beneath the sand Iris says that I will be the death of her It was not me Iris, Iris She said free yourself to be yourself If only you could see yourself Free yourself to be yourself If only you could
U2 Crearon está canción divina que significa lo más sublime de nuestras vidas, nuestra madre. Iris es muestra de lo que significa esta canción...Bono lo demuestra en esta canción lo importante que significa su madre Iris en su vida.
This is just amazing. Beautiful. So moving. Thank you Bono and U2 for sharing this with us. And for Giovane for posting 🙏 I so wish I'd been there to see it live.

U2 is the only band I know that sounds better live than on albums.
The same thing happened to Linkin Park
Exactly. I say this since Joshua tree.
they sound well on both
Yes
That's so right
I am japanese.
I cried when I knew the meaning of the lyrics...
Beautiful song Beautiful heart Beautiful mother👍
The same thing, here
me too...
Bono repeating his mom's name before the song gives me chills
Same here ✌️✌️

He's not actually! I've met him several times and there's an awful smell of Benji off him.
Such A Beautiful Tribute To His Beloved, Beautiful Mother!!!
How Touching and Bittersweet!!!
Love You Bono ❤ Sherice
If you have listenned to this song live in concert, you are incapable to listen to this song without crying...
This is very true for me ❤
Great bass by Adam, one of his best basslines without doubt

This song always got me crying

Jake Jenkins Jesus... We really do things for granted
heartbreaking. Thanks for bringing the quote in context.
Iris rest in Peace
Podría traducirla al español Porfavor. Intuyo que escribió algo divino... Saludos desde Perú
It's a special song for bono and for me because i remenber my beautiful mother
Impossible not to cry! :'( this song is special!
@@flaviovasquez9480 😢😢😢
Grande Bono canzone per la mamma Iris ❤️ U2 the best
mamma ❤️🙏 Paola di Napoli
wow they really recaptured their own sound with this album.

@@alexandriaocasio-smollett5078 Bono also wrote "Tomorrow" (1981), "Lemon" (1993) and "Mofo" (1997) about His mother
ça doit faire drôle de voir sa mère vivre lorsqu'on est en train de chanter pour elle . que d'émotion !
The best band ever, wonderful songs ... always U2
Dès les premières notes de Edge, l'appel de Bono à sa maman... frissons tout simplement ❤
A great example of a song that comes across so-so in the CD, but makes for an outstanding live performance.
It's been five years. And this always reminds me of my great grandmother. On this day she past. But I know she will watch over me.

So jealous, I’ve been trying to get their attention since 1985!
The same performance live. PERFECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iris would be SOOOOO very proud of her baby boy, Paul Hewson, AKA BONO!
Sensacional
U2 sempre foi OURO

PERFEITO
U2 is the best band ever! ❤️
Uma das músicas mais lindas do U2
What a guitar HERO!!!!!!!!!! THE EDGE - - - - - - -THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of the biggest musicans ever!
My best song of SOI !!
i love U2 because i like to hear new stuff same as old
Epic song....sounds like it would have been on one of their first two albums.
Fantastic song, makes the hairs on your neck stand up being played live, love Edges chiming guitar Genius band 😀👍🏻
My favourite from Songs of Innocence - personal, emotional, ultimately transcendental. Encapsulates everything that makes U2 unique and extraordinary.
Same here
Dude! This song reduces me to a crying little boy.......
Beautiful intro to this song 💚💚🍀🇮🇪😎✌
The star that gives us light
Has been gone a while
But it’s not an illusion
The ache in my heart
Is so much a part of who I am
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years to get here
Something in your eyes
Took a thousand years, a thousand years
Hold me close
Hold me close and don’t let me go
Hold me close
Like I’m someone that you might know
Hold me close
The darkness just lets us see
Who we are
I’ve got your life inside of me
Iris, Iris
Once we are born
We begin to forget
The very reason we came
But you I’m sure I’ve met
Long before the night
The stars went out
We’re meeting up again
Hold me close
Hold me close and don’t let me go
Hold me close
Like I’m someone that you might know
Hold me close
The darkness just lets us see
Who we are
I’ve got your life inside of me
Iris, Iris
The start are bright
But do they know
The universe is beautiful but cold
You took me by the hand
I thought that I was leading you
But it was you made me your man
Machine, I dream where you are
Iris standing in the hall
She tells me I can do it all
Iris wakes to my nightmare
Don’t fear the world
It isn’t there
Iris playing on the Strand
She buries the boy beneath the sand
Iris says that I will be the death of her
It was not me
Iris, Iris
She said free yourself to be yourself
If only you could see yourself
Free yourself to be yourself
If only you could
U2 Crearon está canción divina que significa lo más sublime de nuestras vidas, nuestra madre. Iris es muestra de lo que significa esta canción...Bono lo demuestra en esta canción lo importante que significa su madre Iris en su vida.
