This song means so much to me and reminds me of my father who loves the Opera and has a tenor voice. When I was a child I hated hearing him sing, but now I miss his loud deep tones and those beautiful Spanish songs he use to sing. Unfortunately he can not sing anymore because he has Parkinson's disease, he is 86 a very proud and humble man and an immigrant from Spain. He came to Australia in the early 60s, did not know a word of English he arrived alone, worked hard all his life to provide for his family. My father is a huge inspiration to me and always will be.;
For My Father, You were the Strongest Man I knew. Being Military all of my Life, I watched you be humbled by your illness, I watched you become a shell of the man you used to be. Please know How Proud I was of you. My Father,My Hero and the person I aspired to be. So honest and never letting anyone or anything make you go against you Morals. I love you Dad. I miss you. I hope to become half the person you were. Thank You for being my Father.
Since my dad died in 2006 this song became very important to me and it's meaning changed forever...I cry every time I hear it and the words are so true. Thank you U2. Dad, it's so hard without you...
this song will always remind me of my old man who loved u2 and it was released just after he passed away 13 years ago and the words of the song just somes it all up rip dad
I just had those chills...the ones that wake you back up inside and make you remember not just why u love u2 or music in general but you remember that feeling of what it is really like to be alive and actually want to be alive in this fucked up world...... thank you so much...u saved me tonite....saved me from myself......
goose bumps on 3:24 awesome, ''u are the reason why the opera is in me''. well hey i still got let u kow a house just dont make a home, don't leave me here alone''!!! , great dedication for a father, i miss my dad as well bono
ive been a u2 fan for years since the war album..This song is everything i wanna say but cant to my dad..He wouldnt understand..All in all this song makes me feel peace...Thanks Bono..Thanks for last week in Nyc,,It was great to tell you why and how come about life..friend..
First U2 show I ever went to was on the 3rd leg of Vertigo, November 2005 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland. Went with my dad at the tail end of a hella rough year in our relationship, and when they played this song…there's me and my old man up in the seats, heads touching, bawling our eyes out.
Scott Lanway...I hope things got better after that. I had some rough times with my own dad...and, as a result, have had a love/hate relationship with my 30 year old son.😞
My Dad...My Hero..Very military family so we were taught to be strong and show no vulneralbility. His Illness took him fast...I told him how proud I was of him for protecting America and the sacrifices he made. Please when you have the chance tell your parents what they mean to you. I was Lucky enuf to do so.
so are u a u-2 fan yet/now? or just an oscillating fan? ha ha.....Glad u-2 have made the switch. I think their history/story is way cool. Check it out.
sometimes we think we hate , sometimes we think it's love, but if you love your father don't wait for him to get cold to say it; no matter what his response is, you'll feel a lot better just for saying: I don't agree with you but that doesn't mean that I don't love you. That can save his and your life. Trust me... been there, or better should have been... so now I pay the price.
BD is a good song for sure. i think where the streets have no name, one and acrobat would be my favs. they still write a lot of great songs, its just that the newer albums have more songs that seem average as compared with the first 10-15 years
I am moved by the love from the comments here. My father died in my last year of high school, and it still haunts me, even after all of these years. I was just beginning to know him, to finally bond, and then. For all the Sons and Daughters and their Fathers...❤.
Sometimes, even when we think we have the stuff, life always throws something new our way :) Someone I care about alot pointed me to this video.. I've heard this song before but never really LISTENED till after our convo, even though were half a world apart, I would take punches for you and you do need to realize you DONT have to go it alone.
wow, what a video, i love the brothers , love the song, i think i have commented on numerous other videos of the same version, but this is fucking brilliant , thanks for posting!!
markyyyyyyyy321 yeah it was prayed to my mum so my dad wouldn't suffer anymore and within 12 hours he died to be with her it will be 5 years on 27th thus month and my mum 28 years on 5th Nov 💔
I kinda agree, "get on your boots" had nothing on some of the earlier songs (despite still being better than 95% of the crap some "artists" come out with nowadays, thanks a bunch Lady Gaga).
@Jameyp876 It is true that his voice has lost some of its depth & quality, but I would call this an amazing live performance. the stylings have always been a part of his repertoire, and the band actually play their instruments.... wow
"Can you hear me when I sing? You're the reason I sing. You're the reason the opera is in me."
Reminds me so much of my grandfather. RIP
"...A house doesn't make a home
Don't leave me here alone..."
awesome!!!
"Don't leave me here alone"
Loved the rawness and vulnerability that Bono showed. I could never grow tired of hearing this song.
I think this song sums up Bono's whole life, what he came from, what made him what he is...and a beautiful performance to boot...

the freaking raw emotion at 3:55 is just amazing. No one packs more emotion vocally than Bono, EVER!!!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
U2's songs have been the soundtrack of my life for decades. This song is playing right now.

Dad, it's so hard without you...
Bono's voice takes you to places you've never been to! An awesome intimate & emotional performance - it may be his best vocal ever!!
the egde's solo in this video is extremely wonderful!!
"a house doesnt make a home", dad, i miss you
his background vocalling is underestimated too
This song came along just after i lost my mother. It helped me get through a really tough time. Thanks to U2.
Love & peace from Scotland.

I lost my dad about 10 days ago..I didnt know this song was for his dad but I loved it instantly and made me think of mine..
Such a good song, one of U2's very finest (for me its this and beautiful day). Bono is a living legend, got such respect for the guy.
This is defenitly the best live version of this song, killer sound, , stellar performance, voice and instruments.. Great.
First U2 show I ever went to was on the 3rd leg of Vertigo, November 2005 at the Oracle Arena in Oakland. Went with my dad at the tail end of a hella rough year in our relationship, and when they played this song…there's me and my old man up in the seats, heads touching, bawling our eyes out.

Yes my first u2 concert was in the 80 s hahaha den haag het paard
His voice is incredible. It just makes me cry...
He blows me away each note he makes, love love!! I can listen to him all day long
I think that this song is one of the best of U2. I love it and this band for ever ;]
I remember hearing this going out live on Radio 1 on a dark November night - spine chilling
2 thumbs way up !!!!!!! awesome job U2
To my dad you are and were the best ....my hero always
Brilliant song, great lyrics from a superb band 👍🏻
My Dad...My Hero..Very military family so we were taught to be strong and show no vulneralbility. His Illness took him fast...I told him how proud I was of him for protecting America and the sacrifices he made. Please when you have the chance tell your parents what they mean to you. I was Lucky enuf to do so.
The shimmer in Edges guitar throughout the song makes it beautiful...especially from 4:44 to 5:07.Amazing song!
Amazing. Best version of this song ever.
I already give up between my father and me he never love me... But just today sadness touch my heart... Thank you Bono for this great son
Happy Father's Day to my late father
I'm not even a U2 fan...but wow that blew me away..
so are u a u-2 fan yet/now? or just an oscillating fan? ha ha.....Glad u-2 have made the switch. I think their history/story is way cool. Check it out.
Lovely song. Well sung. W U2❤
Nice and RAW..His voice is just amazing.
sometimes we think we hate , sometimes we think it's love, but if you love your father don't wait for him to get cold to say it; no matter what his response is, you'll feel a lot better just for saying: I don't agree with you but that doesn't mean that I don't love you.

Britt Music❤
Without a doubt the best live version of this powerhouse of a track!
love this song! =)...one of the best versions of it too..its just unbelievably magical...sing along with bono!...haha adam is just too cool
The best song even written.
This performance starts off raw sounding in an awesome way and builds up to a magical like climax til the end.
that vocal was spot on
No way!
Beautiful day will always be one of my 3 faves, it's so uplifting and, well, epic.
The best band in the world!!!
BD is a good song for sure. i think where the streets have no name, one and acrobat would be my favs.
they still write a lot of great songs, its just that the newer albums have more songs that seem average as compared with the first 10-15 years
Definitive version,hands down!
most beautiful version of this song
I am moved by the love from the comments here. My father died in my last year of high school, and it still haunts me, even after all of these years. I was just beginning to know him, to finally bond, and then.
For all the Sons and Daughters and their Fathers...❤.
I personally like the performance of this song in Milan the best. This one is cleaner though.
One of the best songs ever
I agree, it's amazing. The only that challenges this in my opinion is Beautiful Day.
Meu Deus do céu! Essa musica é inacreditável!
Fantástica!!!
definitivamente umas das melhores bandas de todos os tempos...
definitely one of the best bands of all time ...
Sometimes, even when we think we have the stuff, life always throws something new our way :) Someone I care about alot pointed me to this video..
