I don’t think most people understand the album. These guys couldn’t have written this song 20 or 30 years ago.“When the ship that stole your heart away sets sail. When all you’ve left... is leaving”. Devastatingly beautiful lyrics.
Me, too. I'm turning 50 tomorrow and looking back I see the toughest times in my life were the times I was the kindest. And, to discover (or rediscover) one's own mind...ok, crying, again.
Me too,they are the soundtrack to all my memories,good and bad...so sorry for your loss and I admire your strength in still putting one foot in front of the other and finding positivity again in this crazy world...all the best,love from Dublin Ireland ...stay strong
Songs of Innocence is such an underrated album by U2 and often hated but I really don't understand why.. maybe because of the move they did with Apple Music, could be anything actually, but in my opinion it has a couple of the most beautiful songs they ever did and I also think Danger Mouse did a brilliant work producing them! Oh btw such a musical and nice Bono glitch here at 3:25 :D He's only a human after all!
"when all you left is leaving, and all you've got is grieving, and all you know is needing...." brilliant and heartbreaking. and true for all at some point....
Listening and thinking about my friend and co-worker, Claudio Di Donato, who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer the other day. IBEW 530 Sarnia, Ontario, just lost a mountain of a man at 5'4" tops. Someone you could really aspire to be like. U2 has a knack for making these songs of sincere meaning and emotion, and this one hits the heart hard. Miss you and see you on the other side, Claudio.
bono has been blessed by god himself and there are us from belfast and tipperary and waterford it’s a wonderful lyrics and even for more but we weren’t all blessed with such talent it is wonderful their music speaks more than many realise
I started with War at age 15 and have matured along with U2's music. I pray for many more years of U2 which is an odd thing to pray. I don't idolize them but my music taste has grown along with their career. Even Zooropa was great for that period of my life. If I had the responsibility to set their concert set list, I couldn't limit it to just 2 hours.
I've loved U2 since the moment Bono bowed on his knee and sung the words Gloria In te domine Gloria Exultate...This song also is Beautifully felt through all Hearts that listen
And if the terrors of the night Come creeping into your days And the world comes stealing children from your room Guard your innocence from hallucination And know that darkness always gathers around the light If there is a light We can't always see And there is a world We can't always be If there is a dark Now we shouldn't doubt And there is a light Don't let it go out When the wind screams and shouts And the sea is a dragon's tail And the ship that stole your heart away Sets sail When all you've left is leaving And all you got is grieving And all you know is needing If there is a light We can't always see And there is a world We can't always be If there is a dark Now we shouldn't doubt And there is a light Don't let it go out 'Cause this is a song A song for someone Someone like me I know the world is dumb But you don't have to be I've got a question for the child in you before it leaves Are you tough enough to be kind? Do you know your heart has its own mind? Darkness gathers around the light Hold on Hold on There is a light We can't always see If there is a world We can't always be If there is a dark That we shouldn't doubt And there is a light Don't let it go out And this is a song A song for someone This is a song A song for someone Someone like me Someone like me Someone like me
We never realise how dark it is until we step into the light. Darkness will never over come the light and one day darkness will be gone. Jesus is the light of the world.
Well, what more can we say about these guys? In the album this song didn't seem like one of the highlights but this live version might put it up there with some of their greatest songs.
This is such a beautiful statement,especially now. U2 were the band that influenced us to write and play. Without U2 there would be no WHY. Thank you for posting this. We needed this.
24 October: cost me an arm and a leg to fly a thousand miles to London, slept at Heathrow, and fell behind with stuff at work, but these four minutes alone were worth it.
I am a lifelong U2 fan, but I've been underwhelmed by all their albums back to How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. This song, however, is one of the very few newer songs that contain that magic from 'before'. Truly a hidden gem.
While American Soul and Lights of Home make odd use of bits from SOI. THIS song does it VERY well. I love the studio version and this version is utterly divine!
love it, love Bono. This is an amazingly raw performance. You can hear his soul speak volumes of passion. Just an observation. His voice was shaky in the beginning. By the look in his eyes you could tell he was deeply reflecting on this piece.
Are you tough enough to be kind? Great line.
People who don't say U2 is good anymore... this song and honestly this entire album are one of the best albums they've ever made.
Beautiful song
AGREED
This song is one of their most haunting and poignant. Bonos lyricism is beyond poetry/pros at this point. Masters of their art.
Who cares what other people think, as long as you enjoy it that’s all that matters..
I don’t think most people understand the album. These guys couldn’t have written this song 20 or 30 years ago.“When the ship that stole your heart away sets sail. When all you’ve left... is leaving”. Devastatingly beautiful lyrics.
“I know the world is done, but you don’t have to be… I’ve got a question for the child in you before it leaves” 😭
"Are you tough enough to be kind? Do you know your heart has it's own mind?".......I get emotional everytime I hear that line.
Yeah that's right
Me, too. I'm turning 50 tomorrow and looking back I see the toughest times in my life were the times I was the kindest. And, to discover (or rediscover) one's own mind...ok, crying, again.
This performance is making me very emotional and I'm about to cry... U2 are like a vintage wine that gets better with age... Totally amazing.
It’s taken me almost 4 years since my 13 year old daughter died but positivity is growing. U2 have been with me all my adult life💕
Mark Watson sharing your pain. Peace out❤️🇨🇦🍻🌺🍎🤘🏼😒😞
Me too,they are the soundtrack to all my memories,good and bad...so sorry for your loss and I admire your strength in still putting one foot in front of the other and finding positivity again in this crazy world...all the best,love from Dublin Ireland ...stay strong

Beautiful. When you see that Adam Clayton smile you know U2 are in a good place.
He speaks to the soul.
So tender, his voice. U2 never stop amazing me. There are always sonical and lyrical treasures to find on their albums.
No other band even comes close to U2 live, musically, lyricaly, etc....
Listening and thinking about my friend and co-worker, Claudio Di Donato, who lost his battle with pancreatic cancer the other day.

I lost my best friend tragically and the grief is overwhelming... this song as all U2 songs heals my soul. Thank you u2
"darkness gathers around the light"
That lyric says so much. This song is amazing and beautiful. Thank you U2.
fight the darkness my friend
That thought goes at least back to Platon.
It is probably the pinnacle of all there recordings u can c this means something deep to BONO&THE BAND U2,like a fine wine that matures with age
The beauty in this song is endless
Significant lyrics to the right ears..
bono has been blessed by god himself and there are us from belfast and tipperary and waterford it’s a wonderful lyrics and even for more but we weren’t all blessed with such talent it is wonderful their music speaks more than many realise
Modern day masterpiece.
So much comfort. I was in tears of relief from the first bar.
I started with War at age 15 and have matured along with U2's music. I pray for many more years of U2 which is an odd thing to pray. I don't idolize them but my music taste has grown along with their career. Even Zooropa was great for that period of my life. If I had the responsibility to set their concert set list, I couldn't limit it to just 2 hours.
There are so many great songs to choose from with U2.
I always believe Bono when he's singing.
That is beautiful
I've loved U2 since the moment Bono bowed on his knee and sung the words Gloria In te domine Gloria Exultate...This song also is Beautifully felt through all Hearts that listen
One of the few ageing performers who voice is still very good. U2 have heart.
This song speaks to me, I freaking love it
There is a light. The one's who see in the dark. They cannot win.✝️🙏
this song is really another masterpiece of U2 l love
NOW I ♥ this song!! Wow! This band! This man! We are so blessed! ♥
mdmomof7 please be quiet
Just another brilliant song from U2.
AMAZING U2
And if the terrors of the night
Come creeping into your days
And the world comes stealing children from your room
Guard your innocence from hallucination
And know that darkness always gathers around the light
If there is a light
We can't always see
And there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
Now we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light
Don't let it go out
When the wind screams and shouts
And the sea is a dragon's tail
And the ship that stole your heart away
Sets sail
When all you've left is leaving
And all you got is grieving
And all you know is needing
If there is a light
We can't always see
And there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
Now we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light
Don't let it go out
'Cause this is a song
A song for someone
Someone like me
I know the world is dumb
But you don't have to be
I've got a question for the child in you before it leaves
Are you tough enough to be kind?
Do you know your heart has its own mind?
Darkness gathers around the light
Hold on
Hold on
There is a light
We can't always see
If there is a world
We can't always be
If there is a dark
That we shouldn't doubt
And there is a light
Don't let it go out
And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Thank's for the lyrics : )
oh oh U2.

Powerful song!! 🎶🎶🎧🎧🎶🎶 "there is a light don't let it go out!"
This is song is too much for me, in a good way of course. The lyrics are so good.
Beautiful! Such a poignant song! The lyric, "The Darkness Always Gathers Around The Light" explains to me why bad things happen
SIMPLY PERFECT IN EVERYTHING!
Everything are amazing in this song...its like a warm gentle breeze on my soul at winter time...
Queen and u2 are the best bands to ever of walked the earth

We never realise how dark it is until we step into the light. Darkness will never over come the light and one day darkness will be gone. Jesus is the light of the world.
