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.
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
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.

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 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!
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.
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
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.
Yo también hago lo mismo! El 1ro de enero de cada año es una tradición para mí escucharla y, como dice Bono "todo está calmo el día de año nuevo". Realmente es así. Feliz año y mucha salud para quienes lean ésto.
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.
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 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 : )
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!
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 !
Who is here because it is a good song?
Me I love this song. Happy New Year 2020 🎉🎉🎉🎉
And also because it's (drum roll) New Year's Day.... :-)
Great song

Happy New Year 2021. Hoping it will be much better than 2020!

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👍

@@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.
@@mickfunny4185 it is about where the artists draw their energy from
@@universalflamethrower6342
Wow
@@universalflamethrower6342
Wow cool
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
Waiting for listen this song the 1st of January of 2020 when the day is nostalgic and calm down
I too same year
Me too
Reading these New Years Day comments in the later half of 2020...
Coronavirus xd
And here we are now !
Have a happy new year 🤗
Whos listening on New Years Day 2020? ❤️
Nothing changes on New year's day 😁
Posted on my Fb Timeline as "song of the day"
stupidest question ever everyone stupidass
Every new year's day.
I did.
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
1983? Wow. Way ahead of its time. Such a unique classic.

The early 80s in Ireland the best of times with the greatest Irish group of all time.
One of the greatest rock groups period... listening to it on full makes your eyes water....
They are great no doubt but thin Lizzy is the greatest Irish group of all time
Ah yes The Troubles were a great time
One of the best groups ever this band was ahead of its time,the first time I heard this song I thought it was a 90's song
@@paulpro8441 That was up north.
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
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
Love the older U2 songs, so raw, SO great!
Minha música preferida do U2,ouvi o disco war,obra prima,letras muito boas,vida longa ao rock n roll!
New years day a mon enfance 14 ans en1982,52 ans en 2020,toujours le même plaisir a l écoute

I'm listening on New Year's Day, 2021.
I AM!!!!
I did..last night I played this song.
Happy new year 2021 🙏
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!

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!

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.
Every sound of this song is so addicting, piano, bass, guitar, drums and the voice.... 😎😎😎
For me, this is the best song ever
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
No other song ever recorded captures the feeling of New Years Day than this timeless classic.
Auld Lang Syne?
That's not true. Everything changes on New Year's Day. Especially music. We will NEVER have music like this again.

"Though torn in two, we can become one." Insane lyrics, insane musicianship. Best rock band ever. U2.
Que gracinhas, todos tão meninos, será que imaginavam a grande banda que se tornaram? The Edge tão novinho e já arrasava na guitarra.
Talented all of them... and The Edge playing two things at once
He wishes playing two things at once one after the other but yeah he is still great .

Love music keep on rocking
That bass is relentless.....
And today U2 looks at this video and think "God did I really look like that back then?"
