Lyrics:
Desert sky, dream beneath the desert sky.
The rivers run but soon run dry.
We need new dreams tonight.
Desert rose, dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and bows
Like a siren she calls (to me).
Sleep comes like a drug in God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country
Set me alight, we'll punch a hole right through the night.
Every day the dreamers die to see what's on the other side.
She is liberty, and she comes to rescue me.
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold.
Sleep comes like a drug in God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses, in God's country
Naked flame, she stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love.

The Joshua tree is it one of the best rock album in the history!
41 years of U2 existence, 56 years of my existence, 36 years as a fan of the band and I am seeing this clip for the very first time.

No other guitarist has ever sounded like this. Edge is a genius.
Fuck yeah,,
He’s a wizard
Yes, he has a unique sound. You know it's him right away. And what a great name.
Hendrix >> The Edge
@@NigriffHendrix = "Overrated, clapclapclapclapclapclap!" Nobody sounds like The Edge.
Y’all Bono’s voice was fucking incredible during this era
Became so weak and tired after zooropa 😐
Oh hell yeah! Greatest voice of our time. Damnit I wish I can sing like him.
Never forget what our ancestors did, how hard they worked and the deprivation they often experienced. We owe a great deal to them.
Absolutely..
Best comment
Thank God Almighty for the brilliance of The Founding Fathers and the perseverance of the masses who brought the dream to fruition ! God Bless America! ! !
Let’s let god bless the whole world, OK?
@@maryannnaaman6143 Yes, of course.
And never forget how they desimated the native Americans
Driving through North America, hearing this song on repeat... Heaven..
God bless us all
I will never understand how this song was not the biggest song in the world, how this song was not way bigger than "Where the Streets Have no Name" or "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For".
One of the hidden gems off Joshua Tree....
This song never gets old. One of my fave U2 songs from The Joshua Tree.
U2 music is timeless
yesss so true!
Yes indeed Webby. The whole album is one huge chunk of U2`s very best songwriting. I like almost ever track on the album, and there is really no " filler " songs. I like this song in every single way musically. Melody, lyrics, guitar, huge badass bass playing and fine drumming. Larry Mullin Jr. is a fine drummer who gets no recognition really. One of the best songs ever done by U2.
“OK Edge, play the blues...” 😎👍
Go Edge!
Silver and gold👌
Rattle And Hum
Beautiful song in God's country.
@@annieshamblee39 🗽
If you are listening to this song.........within the first 22 seconds...if you are not moved in some way..........check for a pulse🤨
A classic by one of Ireland's best 🟩⬜🟧
Was lucky to see the original Joshua Tree Tour at 3 venues....awwww the good old days
Went we Rocked with the band 🎵☺🎶....NOT THREW things at them 😲😧😵💫
I am a Christian. I am thanking you for your Great Music ❤️😍. Lovingly, Gayle Raye Bremer
I feel this is one of the most beautifully written songs.
edge is fantastic in this song!
The Edge guitar...WOW. Great song.
For those that don’t know, this video was only available in the Outside It’s America documentary back in 1987 when the Joshua Tree tour had just started. This and Spanish Eyes were in that documentary. Spanish Eyes is premiering in the next week or two.
Never seen that documentary so I don’t know this video. I will discover tomorrow.
Nice to know! ThanKX!
That documentary was in the Joshua Tree 20th anniversary Box set (2007)
@@ozzmen87 funny that I own the Box set but not seen this video yet :)
@@endres5628 It's a great documentary, I think it represents that American tour better than Rattle and Hum
Sleep comes like a drug
In God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's country
Jerez I liked this 2 years ago and I’m back 28/05/2024 😊🏴
Sorry about Scotland's result against Germany tonight
Look at the looks on these kids faces.U2 has heart and soul God bless Ireland and the USA.Peace.
The Edge’s solo starting 2:11 is bloody brilliant here.
Agreed- electric!
Brilliant?? I wouldnt say it's brilliant, but it most definitely fits the song, and there's nothing wrong with that.
The Joshua Tree, greatest album of all time, from the beginning to end. It's magic. What a lyrics, what a sound, U2 n#1, greatest, no doubt.
agree
@@tassoparis2507 TOTS AGREE!!!
Bono looks amazing in this, especially when he's wearing the hat.
Yes, he was very sexy at that time 😄. He looks his best in the video "Red hill mining town" 😍
I agree bono was looking fine those days wish he would have kept the look
I always in my heart felt that this was U2's "love letter" to America.
This video changes everything. As Americans I think it was lost on us at the time. U2's relationship with the states must have been more of a refuge than I had previously considered. The anti-hero that shouted a battle cry in Sunday Bloody Sunday, finally got to rest his weary head In God's Country.
You're probably right! I always thought that!
It's pretty clear from the interviews that they had a love/hate perspective. As great as they think it is in one moment, suddenly corruption, poverty and racism is around the corner.
it's clear - it's not a beckoning its a necessity. She is liberty - hopes, vanity and gold.
Everybody please read the thread by Juandi .
Very important what he says about the warning
Easily one of their most beautiful songs.
Wow! Never knew a video existed for this one!
me either lol
I know the song but never see a video for this.
Same I’m stoked!
@@a.laddinsane me too. Never saw this video
Same here but I'm glad there is one.
The energy on this track is incredible.
the edge, the master♥
@@susieinthecountry4434 Its funny that you and the first guy should say that. according to Bono, this song was born out of a session in the studio under his house where the other three struggled to 'get some rock and roll out of the edge'
Either way, its one of the best things they ever did.
Te encuentro razón, pienso lo mismo... Tiene una energía especial... saludos 👍👍
Yeah
Desert sky
Dream beneath a desert sky
The rivers run but soon run dry
We need new dreams tonight
Desert rose
Dreamed I saw a desert rose
Dress torn in ribbons and in bows
Like a siren she calls to me
Sleep comes like a drug
In God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's country
Set me alight
We'll punch a hole right through the night
Everyday the dreamers die
See what's on the other side
She is liberty
And she comes to rescue me
Hope, faith, her vanity
The greatest gift is gold
Sleep comes like a drug
In God's country
Sad eyes, crooked crosses
In God's country
Naked flame
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love
I'm happpy when I hear In God's Country . ✌🏼
I was walking across Colorado winter of '98, diamond dust blowing in the sun, and this song was in my headphones. Earlier that decade, walking across El Paso in the summer sunshine, same feeling, same set, a setting sun, golden twilight splashing around like amber whiskey from the sky, spilling over the mountains, flowing like a river of honey colored light down, down, into the abyss of dusk, and the starling dark blues and blacks of a desert night, slowly reclaiming the light until the sun rose the next morning. Keep going. It's worth it.
My absolute favorite U2 song. I just wish it was longer.
My favorite U2 song with some of the most impressive, meaningful lyrics I've ever seen in my life.
I overplayed this song
@@vintagegirl1961I'm not sure if that's possible.
41 years of U2 existence, 30 years of my existence, 20 years as a fan of the band, and I am seeing this clip for the very first time.
Loved it!
You're not the only one!
Ditto my friend! Geez, after all these years being a superfan of these guys, never knew this existed. This is awesome.
Same here. Dream Out Loud!
41 years of U2 existence, 56 years of my existence, 36 years as a fan of the band and I am seeing this clip for the very first time.
41 years of U2 existence, 43 years of my existence, 28 years as a U2 fan.... and it's also my first time 😅
This song is NOT LONG ENOUGH !!!
From my teenage years and dreams of desert landscapes, to my first duty station as a Marine in 29 Palms in the Mojave Desert of California (right outside Joshua Tree National Park), to THE deserts of the Middle East...this song has always been there for me...I am STILL in the desert and like a siren she STILL calls to me....In God's Country ;)
Lucky you to breath the air in such a suggestive places....I would have been there too!
Hi. Shannon how are you?
@@presleyl9364 All good...hope you are too.
@Wiggle Waggle Camp Pendleon was arguably my favorite duty station for quality of life due to the awesome coastline and amazing weather. Unfortunately I spent more time of my time deployed while stationed there.
@@nellersj Yes I'm okay.
If I may ask where are you from?
Pay attention to the video, the song sounds uplifting, but the message is a warning and criticism to modern society. U2 were and will always be ahead of their time
It's like Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen, not a celebration of America but what it represents and fails live up to
One criticism of current music (and the norms we are under) is that liberty to speak the truth. It is that double edged sword.
American society in particular.
I'll never forget being in college when this album came out. Bought it Day 1 and wore out a new turntable needle playing it over and over. This was by far my favorite song on one of the greatest rock albums of all time.
Pouring out of dorm room windows.
He was handsome man .
My very last day of college I had a 600+ mile drive home, so bought a few cassettes for the ride, the Joshua Tree being one. It had only recently been released. At the time I was only a casual U2 fan. This album blew me away, played it the whole way. Lifelong fan since
😊 yes I remember playing the Cassette over and over and having to replace it soon enough too , Great times 👍
… I still cry …. In God’s country…please God please .. remember me
Goosebumps when the first chorus kicks in..
1987
. Graduated college..sick with an autoimmune disease ...1988 left SC to travel Nurse in Kemmerer WY...
Had a catastrophic clotting event in 11/88 in Kemmerer .
..tough lady...told I would never be a Nurse again.
I did and then some. This song is/was a huge inspiration .
Every time I hear it, it energizes me.
Hal Cole MD LDS now Intermountain Health...
What I would give to look you in the eye...your kindness is never forgotten...this song reminds me.
That opening guitar is legendary. I'm so blessed to watch this remastered video.
This song still gives me chills. One of my all time favorites.
yes!!!!!
The official VIDEO is great too. Nice tribute to Irish immigrants coming over here circa 1850. Beautiful composition to the song as well. Listen to their " official VIDEO" all the time. Bono's long hair , leather jacket, gold hoop earring , made a very sexy front man. Love this jam❣️🎵 Too often over looked and it's my favorite song by them.
Giving me chills now
Finally The U2's support team paying attention to RUclips. youtube is a amazing platform to music's fans
Nice of Bono to give Edge, Adam, and Larry a day off. My fave U2 song ever.
😂
U2 in my opinion is the greatest band of all time. Right up there with Led Zeppelin and Marley.
No. Not in a class with Zeppelin, _never_ in a league with Bob Marley (in my opinion of course)
Thirty years ago I believed The Joshua Tree was the finest album ever recorded. I don't really think so anymore but I can't justify it
Still this song came blasting through the headphones of my mind a few days ago and _now_ I think it's the best thing they ever recorded. Well...I love that one that BB King sings too...
One of my all time favourite U2 songs. Absolutely amazing. The Edge on guitar is fantastic.
Actually,Edge is amazing on this song
I agree, an authentic masterpiece, 👍
What kind of name is The Edge?
@@jmac4952 it remind his particular character! 👍
@@angelocapra9756 Bono is a creep, a sellout minion of The System. Talented - yes. Massive sellout - YES. Pathetic - yes, extremely.
'You ever hear Joshua Tree album/CD on a long road-trip through the desert or midwest plains? One hour and a hundred miles seem to vanish into thin air 'cause the music is so mesmerizing. One of the best Rock Albums of all time.
the joshua tree was where U2 hit the big time. side 1 has all the hit singles, side 2 all the best songs.
2:04 this way how it is played the guitar has been part of my dreams and reality in few U2 concerts. Since in the beginning I listened to this song I have never been tired to listen to it! This song is not on the U2’s top ten, but it is one of my favorites of them! Thanks for this emotional video!!!
"I stand with the sons of Cain..burned by the fires of love"!! These guys were on a whole 'nother level in the game. They will always be one of my favorite bands of all time...not from the cradle but certainly to the grave..
Everyday the dreamers die to see what's on the other side..❤️
Up to the Joshua Tree, they were one of the greatest bands ever.
We need new dreams tonight...becasue they deserve a better world....we need new values tonight - because they deserve a better world...liberty and justice are not enough ... violence of all kinds toward children must end - but when?
Better Christian music than 99% of all contemporary Christian music
So true!
I'm not even a Christian and i can agree with this.
By experience much of the 'music of faith' has become vacuous.
Absolutely!!!
Arguably this is the best track on the joshua tree album, but u cud argue a case for every track on that iconic masterpiece.
This album has always given me this feeling of being out in the desert, maybe because of the album cover or something but every song evokes this sense of being out wandering the desert plains.
Yes
God’ s country is our ❤️
I Thank God everyday for another day. This is my song got my name all over it Amen.
It brings tears to my eyes how beautiful is this song.. ❤️
Me 2
I'm not really a U2 fan, but man, this song...
Absolutely!
Bono looks so good! 😍
In Gods Country there is only one residence, in one of His rooms in His house, I saw it in a meditation.
My favorite U2 song,, it's just too damn good,,,,,the beautiful girl at 0.40 is so sweet,,, beings tears to my eyes.❤.
This song will forever remain in me, for my brother and I were skydiving over the beautiful desert of Tucson back in ‘96 and listening to this song as we we’re about to jump…his parachute didn’t open, mine did…he died in my arms
May he rest in internal peace in the loving and caring arms of the Lord.
Tell us more. i saw the 2nd Joshua tree show in Tucson first time. Bono's throat was unsingable in Phoenix
Favorite U2 song. Still gives me chills. Great video.
While the songs on side 1 of Joshua Tree received the most fanfare, it was the songs on side 2 such as this one that gave the album its depth and resonance.
THAT PART WHEN THE ACOUSTIC GUITAR COMES IN 🤍
U2 fan for 33 years never seen this video before
80's U2 get me sentimental and teary...they where so mature and on point with society in general...all those motley crueish and heavy metal bands where childish macho music detached from my reality in my town, pop music was disposal bs most of the time, the underground goth/punk/garage crowd was too cool to be indentified with, new wave was pointless at times and rap music too mean spirited and street wise...to me u2 was like in the middle of it all standing TALL and keeping an eye from the past and into the future...whatever happened to the fallen ones? what will we do and how to move on? How to apreciate life and fight for it?, how to make something positive with our lives? All those questions and critiques while making rock music. Thank you guys.
Beautifully said.
Accurate commentary.
How cool was Bono loved the way he looked and dressed
A Band with Sense
🎶💖🎶
I've been a fan of the band for 40 years, and all melodies touch my soul, this one in particular talks about our faith and the history of humanity. great to reflect.
My first time hearing this beautiful song 🎵🎵🎵It was featured in the movie "THREE KINGS" ( George Clooney, Ice Cube) .I own the movie and have just watched it again tonight. This song closes out the movie. Loved it . Powerful.
I FIRST HEARD IT IN THREE KINGS too!!!
Tengo 35 años de fan y es la primera vez que veo este video
I saw a video of U2 performing this song live . I found it on RUclips. Not a concert in the U.S. He actually did an intro that the song was a tribute to the IRISH immigrants that started coming to the U.S. ( I think mid 1800's was the first big wave) He was praising our country, and the reference to the Statue of Liberty 🗽 in this video is very profound. What a great song 🔥❣️
Un abrazo a todos los U2 FANS ,SALUDOS DE MEXICO
My favourite band of all time, greetings to all of you, it is so nice to read the comments of others who also enjoy U2. Love and peace to all :) ;)
I have a “Desert Island One Hundred”, a list of 100 songs that I would take to such an island if I were confined there.
“In God’s Country” is very near the top of that list.
Moving, simple, sweet, and pure, resonating in my head and my heart.
This song is what we as individuals and a people need, and the bible of course , too....
U2 is a top 10 band of all music history. Their catalog is massive and only comparable with the greatest (Beatles). Many of their songs are the theme songs of some of my life's most memorable moments. So blessed U2 has existed.
This is still one of my favourite UR Tracks.... Top Drawer, Enlightening and Truthful and never Overplayed.
"IN GOD's COUNTRY" is a masterpiece that makes humanity poignant but frail.
I love this song and the album "Joshua Tree!"
Wow! This song is so amazingly beautiful! Bono's singing is so great!
Edge's guitar work is incredible!
Watching this video makes sense for all humanity to the world!
Hearing this song is so great but at the same brings tears to my eyes!
Beautiful!
Track is about people imigrating to America..the lyrics "desert sky dream beneath a desert sky rivers run but soon run dry we need new dreams tonight" also refer to the beautiful Corbijnshoot for the JT album...mind Adam's bassline replied with Larry's percussion,Edges'recognizable guitarrifs which drives this song..
♥️♥️🎵🎶🎤🎸🥁
Such a great song. Is this your favorite song?
I've seen these lads live in concert four times;
they're better each and every time, and I'd go see/hear them another four, without hesitation!
U2 were never better than this moment.
One of my fav tracks off the album!
Such powerful music in the 80's, glad to have been part of the era ,takes you right back in the moment.
One of my favourites! Heartbreaking video... God bless the band, and us all ❤️
O think this era for u2 (1984-1988) was an ode to America. Fact.
DESERT ROSE...IN GOD'S COUNTRY
Amazing song. The entire album was great and shaped part of my youth.
Classic song...In God's country....how on earth they never released Spanish eyes as a single I'll never know....but back than most of their b sides were so good.....U2's version of Unchained melody is off the wall☘👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I found him Immanuel through this. Thank you for making this.
Just love the rolling guitar sound on this song.
Manufacturing makes God's country possible. 🙏
This is my favorite U2 song. It’s so beautiful.
masterpiece.
I dated a guy who sang exactly like Bono ...........love this song!!!
Great U2!!!!
Greatest album ever from the best band ever 40 years a fan it will take a lot of magic to better the joshua tree
A solid slap in Uncle Sam's face...if anything
Crazy beautiful song and stunning, stark visuals
For my dear friend Sandra on her birthday!! Forever in my memories....
What are memories but the feelings of the soul?
FOREVER U2 ♡
Naked flame
She stands with a naked flame
I stand with the sons of Cain
Burned by the fire of love
Burned by the fire of love
Last verse is so beautiful. I can listen this for hours, great lyrics and metaphor.
top 5 underrated U2 songs!!
The earlist is the best, its so rock an roll !
So beautiful, magic, love you U2❤🎼🎶🎸🎙
