Edge is a beast!!! Playing piano with one hand holding the guitar pick, than play the guitar and all time dancing and singing... He is truly an awesome, fantastic, amazing musician!!!!!
@Greg Groenewald song is about Poland, and the Solidarity labor movement there fighting the Communists, not Northern Ireland. Sunday Bloody Sunday, from the same album, is about Northern Ireland.
I love this song. Bono's voice is amazing and piercing. 80's music was so diversified and unique to that decade. It was an incredible time of change. I'm glad I lived it.
This video cannot be more "80s"... not only the music style and the look on the guys, but the audio quality even sounds like a cassette or VHS at some point, hehe. Great stuff, thanks for sharing here.
I remember hearing this on the radio for the first time in 1983 and being blown away.... like who are these guys?! Went to the record store and bought Boy, October and War at the same time!
So many years...... As a kid I grew up in a civil War, it was not my choice, it was my destiny, U2's War Album means a lot to me., I can relate to the songs , songs of hope, it inspired me to carry on and to embrace adversity.
Thanks U2 for being my inspiration.30 years ago. -foxbat-
A true Rock classic I am was certain that if mankind is still around in a thousand years that somebody somewhere on this planet will still be listening to this song
I remember the great video that came out with this when it was first released. I actually went to see U2 in concert in Dublin in 1985 ("Under a blood red sky" album).... brilliant day. Go forth and multiply U2....!!
U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Just one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' ruclips.net/video/YJqmsXd8QH4/видео.html&t
I grew up with this song, saw them twice (Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree) and although I could care less about U2's current music or politics I hear this song once a year and it still has meaning. Have a happy and peaceful new year!
I absolutely love this song! I always tell myself that I must listen to this song on New Year's Day, yet I always forget. I play this song every other day of the year, except on New Year's haha. Hopefully, I remember this year : )
BLASTING THIS SONG ON THE RICHMOND BRIDGE HEADING FOR HOME IN MARIN COUNTY DRIVING MY 1984 FIERO AFTER AN EPIC LIMO RIDE WITH MY EX-FIANCE AND SOME FRIENDS. ONE OF THE HAPPIEST MOMENTS OF MY LIFE. IT WAS SO NICE BEING YOUNG AND IN LOVE !
I was with a US Military Special Observations Group, attached to a British SAS team and I remember Northern Ireland wasn't a fun or safe place to be. The music was great...but it was rather bloody and dangerous.
classic u2, young, smoking, love amidst war, can do attitude, young, ambitious, hardworking, righteous indignation, majestic, heavy, piercing, naive, idealistic, unsure of the future.....
@@BabaVidana That's a matter of individual taste & opinion. I personally think they have become far too commercial and synthetic now. Their older stuff is a lot better, like this song.
I must have watched this clip dozens of times, seriously raw and untamed....U2 are such legends, out of fire comes the best of materials...so true here...
We are all in the same boat, but not all in the same situation. Take care everyone! Here is to a Happy and Healthy 2022!! Happy New Year! Amazing 🎵 song, never gets old classic U2!!! With love from Toronto Canada 🇨🇦💕🙏 May our good Lord watch over each and everyone one of you!!! With Love L xx
Ouvir U2 é simplesmente maravilhoso... São muitos sucessos ao longo dos anos, precisa ter talento pra sobreviver por décadas no mundo da música, sendo um dos maiores... Essa musica é incrível, dentre muitas outras
That bass is relentless..... Modern bands try but they will never be unforgettable like U2. Thank you for the upload! Modern bands try but they will never be unforgettable like U2. Thank you for the upload!
So many people unfair about bono these days. He’s a great human being..love this song and will always have maximum respect for this hardworking and honest band made up of truly decent people..happy 2019 to you boys.
Como cada año escuchando esta hermosa canción , que mejor en fin de año o todo el año recordando buenos momentos , malos , y desamores . Quisiera decir que estoy bien pero no sigo mal interiormente a la mejor no se me nota , pero sigo con una tristeza enorme , sonreír y ya es mucho . A medias pero sonrío .. espero algún día , en algún momento , verte y conocerte mi Bono , eres lo más anhelado a mi vida ... desde que era una niña e soñado contigo ... eres mi persona favorita ... en todos los sentidos 💗♥️❣️💞💕💏💋
Never gets old. This song is haunting and solid. Great bass, keys and guitar work.. solid in the pocket drumming and harmonies and lead vocals - lyrics ... forward thinking
Escuchando en plena cuarentena del covi 19,exactamente el dia 23 05 2020, y siempre lo hare ,U2 una de lad mejores bandas de esa epoca dorada ,bellos recuerdos de mi juventud ,dias maravillosos q no volveran...gracias por el video excelente y muchas bendiciones🙏😘

I don't know about anybody else but I love watching David Evans or Edge as they called him, do his solos from piano to guitar is awesome..This song is very sentimental to me
Happy New Year’s 🥳 2025 followers of U2 who’s here for this masterpiece? Godbless.
The Best song ever from U2

@@dannyinaus why does that matter you stupid nobhead
Brilliant
You can just feel the emotion in this track. Early 80s in Northern Ireland was very turbulent, it comes across so strongly in their music.
@Greg Groenewald song is about Poland, and the Solidarity labor movement there fighting the Communists, not Northern Ireland. Sunday Bloody Sunday, from the same album, is about Northern Ireland.

New years day a mon enfance 14 ans en1982,52 ans en 2020,toujours le même plaisir a l écoute
Nothing changes on New Year's Day, except blasting this song.
That happens every year so that also doesn't change actually
Every single year👍
Young Bono Vox
Love the older U2 songs, so raw, SO great!
Adam Clayton’s bass line drives this tune. Underrated bassist
💯
Sean Mcwilliams my fav song by U2 is “Bullet The Blue Sky” which is another song that showcases the underrated talents of Adam Clayton. Rock on!
I liked the Two Hearts Beat As One bass riff too!
"Though torn in two, we can become one." Insane lyrics, insane musicianship. Best rock band ever. U2.
I love this song. Bono's voice is amazing and piercing. 80's music was so diversified and unique to that decade. It was an incredible time of change. I'm glad I lived it.
New Years Day 2021...heres to better times...
😍
New Year's Day 2022... here we're alive...💖
AND BETTER TUNES like this classic off their 'War' album! Cool alternate promo video of this U2 classic!
*You did this to us you son of a bitch*
Deixa pra lá! Hehehe!
This video cannot be more "80s"... not only the music style and the look on the guys, but the audio quality even sounds like a cassette or VHS at some point, hehe. Great stuff, thanks for sharing here.
I remember hearing this on the radio for the first time in 1983 and being blown away.... like who are these guys?! Went to the record store and bought Boy, October and War at the same time!
Minha música preferida do U2,ouvi o disco war,obra prima,letras muito boas,vida longa ao rock n roll!
First song I heard by these guys. I have always loved it. I graduated high school in 1983 and U2 has since been a part of my life
First song I heard too lol
My first U2 song was "Two Hearts Beat As One"..I bought the 45rpm and "New Years Day" was on the other side...
Me too first song I ever heard from them...been addicted ever since! Class of '86
Old fart! 😆
I was in 3 grade in Kenrucky
Every time around this time of year I get reminded of this song, what a timeless classic. Happy 2020 to everybody!
Right
Thanks, Nuphar! Same to you and yours!
came here for some new years day by the OLD U2
,,,,YES,,,,you too!!!😯...me too..😐.feel the same here
👍😍
So many years......
As a kid I grew up in a civil War, it was not my choice, it was my destiny,
U2's War Album means a lot to me., I can relate to the songs ,
songs of hope, it inspired me to carry on and to embrace adversity.
Thanks U2 for being my inspiration.30 years ago.
-foxbat-
I'm sorry to hear that, must have been terrible for you. Was that in Bosnia? (although Bosnia is only 25 years ago)
Esse é o tipo de música que nunca vai sair de moda Amo
Tenía 17 años no pude disfrutarlos pero ha ora con 66 los dis fruto gracias u2
Man I still have this album! In cassette! What a great album it is!
The Edge is so talented! His pure musicianship is inspiring!!
gave them their edge
@@Naa-ee7nq lol
What does Bono get when he’s on vacation ? Postcards from The Edge.......
No other song ever recorded captures the feeling of New Years Day than this timeless classic.
Auld Lang Syne?
Happy New Year 2021. Hoping it will be much better than 2020!
A true Rock classic I am was certain that if mankind is still around in a thousand years that somebody somewhere on this planet will still be listening to this song
My all time number one song from U2 and this is the song that introduced me to U2 . ❤️❤️❤️
Same here.
*Who's listening in 2020?*
Been a tradition of mine for years to listen or watch this video on this day...
New Year's Day.
May it be a great decade!
Me too!!
Same here 🙋.
Year 2020 and I’ll be here again, love this sound.
Ah! Mais gente veio pensou na mesma coisa ❤
Say Jah I will begin again...I will begin again.
Best New Years song, how could this not be payed all over the world.
We made it God bless you Happy New Year
For me, this is the best song ever
When I first heard this song, it blew me away.
Я получила возможность увидеть и услышать U2 и Боно только в 1987 году, и с тех пор постоянно слушаю!
The lyric had its origins in a love song from Bono to his wife, but was subsequently reshaped and inspired by the Polish Solidarity movement 1981
Que gracinhas, todos tão meninos, será que imaginavam a grande banda que se tornaram? The Edge tão novinho e já arrasava na guitarra.
This is the blueprint of a perfect song. Hook, line and melody with a haunting underline vibe that will dance with you in your dreams.
It is perfect. One of the best rock songs ever
Every sound of this song is so addicting, piano, bass, guitar, drums and the voice.... 😎😎😎
I remember the great video that came out with this when it was first released. I actually went to see U2 in concert in Dublin in 1985 ("Under a blood red sky" album).... brilliant day. Go forth and multiply U2....!!
Edge is multitasking between keyboards, guitar and background vocals while Adam is smoking a cigarette :-)
Bass man = secret badass
How cool they are! 😎
U2 is awesome
Director: "What this needs is more horses, frozen landscapes and you guys outside freezing your balls off"
U2: "Sure ok"
LOL
They're definitely some of the greatest musicians in the world!
U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Just one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on the first video of my first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best.

New Year’s Day 2025 - and we stand on the very brink as we did 40 years ago when this song defined the moment 😬😬😬
Modern bands try but they will never be unforgettable like U2. Thank you for the upload!
Nirvana killed everything in the 1990s
Or unforgettable than the fire (Hehe)
2018 this song still rocks. Timeless since 1983 .

And here we are now !
Have a happy new year 🤗
The early 80s in Ireland the best of times with the greatest Irish group of all time.
yeah we were all so young in 1983 (22) :) Bono hands in pockets he didnt know he was singing one of the greatest songs of all time!
Sootys Disco
so nice to read that -I have met Irish folk over the years who despise U2 and it left me wondering wtf
Nah.. I dont think any true Irish person despises them.
I was with a US Military Special Observations Group, attached to a British SAS team and I remember Northern Ireland wasn't a fun or safe place to be. The music was great...but it was rather bloody and dangerous.
classic u2, young, smoking, love amidst war, can do attitude, young, ambitious, hardworking, righteous indignation, majestic, heavy, piercing, naive, idealistic, unsure of the future.....

@Jamie Briscoe They are not. they are good as back then in '83.
@@BabaVidana That's a matter of individual taste & opinion. I personally think they have become far too commercial and synthetic now. Their older stuff is a lot better, like this song.

@ Mairwen ... Great minds think alike !
Im in love with the guitarist/keyboardist, he's brilliant!!!💋⚘❤
Wow. This is from deep in the archives. It pre-dates the official MTV video with them on the snowy hillside. I didn't think I'd see them younger.
I must have watched this clip dozens of times, seriously raw and untamed....U2 are such legends, out of fire comes the best of materials...so true here...
This is real rock this is real u2! This song will live forever!
This is the song that started it for me , one of their best songs they ever produced!LOVE IT!

This sounds so modern for an 80s song... after years hearing on the radio, I thought it was 2000’s era

Timeless!!!
@@NeilHolmes72 Exactly!!! Unique IS the word!!!
Who knew the edge could play piano like that?!? And his guitar in this video is gorgeous, I need it
