Lyrics:
The sea wants to kiss the golden shore.
The sunlight warms your skin.
All the beauty that's been lost before, wants to find us again.
I can't fight you anymore; it's you I'm fighting for.
The sea throws rocks together but time, leaves us polished stones.
We can't fall any further if, we can't feel ordinary love.
And we cannot reach any higher, if we can't deal with ordinary love.
Birds fly high in the summer sky and rest on the breeze.
The same wind will take care of you and I, we'll build our house in the trees.
Your heart is on my sleeve, did you put it there with a magic marker.
For years I would believe, that the world, couldn't wash it away
Cause we can't fall any further if, we can't feel ordinary love.
And we cannot reach any higher, if we can't deal with ordinary love.
Are we tough enough, for ordinary love?
We can't fall any further if, we can't feel ordinary love.
And we cannot reach any higher, if we can't deal with ordinary love.
Are we tough enough, for ordinary love?
Are we tough enough, for ordinary love?
Are we tough enough, for ordinary love?
No auto tune. No lip synching. Pure raw talent.
Dom Roct Raw Talent... More like hard work since they were born.
Dom Roct "audio tune" and "lip sinking" are no actual words or things, Mr. sound engineer. You mean "backing track" and "lip synchronization"...
+Zeizar daaaaaaamn
+dXb lol your actually wrong too. so don't judge when you don't know yourself
+Dom Roct agreed
That takes some balls. Playing like that. No distortion, No lights.
Dude they been doing it for over 30 years.
indeed 😎
As you get older your voice is not what it once was. Most artists would not risk it playing like this without any safety net.
the best song!! 26/09/16
brilliant 😀
Bono's talent is staggering. He is great in the studio. He is a force of nature live. Not only is his performance truly superhuman, but he gets everyone in the building to lose their mind. Basically, he rocked the house, the way that no one can do today.
Imagine trying to argue with him though...he is a force of nature indeed...
@@TheStrataminor It must be hard to be humble when you're that good.
its 8 years later and I can still feel the energy, wow, fantastic
Same man, same
Watch Stuck in the moment late show Unbelievable song
For sure, this is so good!
its soo good
Will Smith was like " Damn there goood "
For all those who said Bono its not a good singer... They're rigth!!! He's an excellent singer!!!
good call sr!
elevation 😂
im not a huge fan but i know in my teenage time this band helps me in my life
lol which idiot says so? lmao i wanna fight them bono is the fucking boss!
correct man😀
This has to be the best live performance in this type of setting. The pure raw talent is unreal
Have you seen Bono and Edge perform Stuck in a Moment on Letterman?
Yesssss ❤
Will Smith wants to hit Bono so bad.
you do not know whatcha talking about
@@billgeoghegan4822 hello no I didn't
Incredible humble Adam Clayton, letting the magic go on and enjoying it without his share of merit. Lots of love to this underrated bass player
Any idea what make his acoustic bass is? I can’t make out what it says on the headstock… and yes, great and modest bass player. It shone through on their first US #1, With Or Without You.
No more "underrated" for goodness sake! Enough, stop! No one in U2 is underrated!
Bono's voice has continued to grow over the years. Great band U2 👌
These guys should start a band.
u serious?
👍😊
What ?
@@olex11w57 why do you all think lol ? he's fucking joking like jeez.
Yeh with band name "Will you too"
Whoever was in that audience that night, witnessed one of the most special live performances in human history. Not a big U2 fan, but damn......hats off to them
You must be a Point Break (Keanu Reeves). Lol ! Luckily for me I was fortunate enough to be there. Took my sister for her birthday. I've seen Jimmy 3 times so far. Shook his hand and had him say, "Hello", to my pregnant sister at the time. She even named her son Jimmy. Go figure ! Back to U2. Like you I was never a huge fan but this is absolutely beautiful. Probably my favorite song to date. I listen to it every single day before be. Anyways stay safe, healthy and strong.. Anthony S. (Random stranger).
@@anthonystrazza959 thank you for the kind words. What a special treat for you and your sister.
Huge U2 fan! You were born in the wrong era apparently . They jump started MTV and are likely the only ones left that can still bring it. All of them are close to 60 now. Pretty dam impressive!
I would venture to guess Will Smith is thinking the same thing
Seriously u should listen to them more. You won’t regret it
I'm not a hardcore fan of U2 but this performance blew me away. The reaction of the audience was sooo telling
Maybe you should become one....❤
Same here. Pure talent
Same here Not a big fan But this is something else
There is only one word to describe this performance " MAGIC". It gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it. Does anybody have a time machine and tickets to this show? Such a special moment, I would be ecstatic if I could experience this in person.
Now that's real music. No auto-tune or any modern crap like that. Pure magic.
Exactly man, no machines helping him.
EwaN Exactly. also known as a selfcentered political noise clown who loves to here himself talk.
***** *hear, but we get your pseudo-intellectual point.
Fresh Warrior Thank you sPeLL CheK.
***** You're welcome snowflake.
U2 are fucking legends. I will never forget the first time I heard their music 20 years ago and instantly fell in love with their sound..
+J. Kociskova No se un carajo de Ingles. pero concuerdo contigo!! :v
And Bono is 55 I think now and he still has a golden voice
Here I am 40 years later and still they give me goosebumps... 🥺
This is the best live Performance ever. Better than the original
Great tune and artist. We tried with my friend from R&O to review this great song. Maybe we succeed, maybe not, we let you be the judge if you have two or three minutes to spare and a thumb up or down to add, come listen and judge us here :-) : kzhead.info/sun/rM2Om7ZukIeEmo0/bejne.html and stay safe
I can’t stop listening to this MASTERPIECE!!!!
Oh yes it is
Due grandi artisti di cui sono follemente innamorata per la loro straordinaria musica
Grazie
Look at Bono When he performs, he doesnt just sing it, He feels it all through his body.... Every Word... Legend is an often overused term to describe average musicians. This man is an untouchable LEGEND
Conor Smith you re right...amazing
Conor Smith
This is what makes this performance even better. This is why great musicians must be listened live, they are able to make a deep connection between them and you.
it is a religion experience
that is so true
Good Lord. His voice is of an angel. People. Believe. It is a gift from God to be able to sing like this. Shivers when he sings.
I Can't stop watching this video. OMG the moment where the Roots are playing ! This is just amazing !
Better than the original studio version..
I've seen this video like 100 times and each time it gets better. The lyrics could stop a war.
Up there with the best live bands you will ever seen .
Co
Luis Santiago way better
INDEED... YEESS.. I AGREE.. INDEED...
U2 simply is THE BEST
+Sanchezz ARE*
+Sanchezz They are heroes : D
always hated U2. still do
elektrolyte so why are you here?
Dunno... must have been a mistake... don't even know why I am taking the trouble to answer you.
U2 are the Biggest Longest-Running Band in the world, period. Having been this successful for 40+ years U2’s record eclipses The Beetles/Stones etc at this stage. Quite phenomenal……..
Maybe one of the best live performances of all time
look the face of Willy Smith, he is enchanted.
Fact
antonello santini I’ve known some beautiful singers and talented musicians. when you’re in a room with them just jamming or singing it’s magical. I’ve been known to cry at least once.
He's trying to remember the lyrics of Why Why Wes, in case he's next
@@JTcomments AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH i literally spit coffee all over HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH good one! :D
@Rafael Jingles Cmon son that joke hits on multiple levels, "Why Why Wes, incase he next" , totally forgot bout that comment and now its funny again hahahahaaah
Let's hope good music like this never dies. :)
The PJ Gamer Amen!!!
Jean Paul Amen .-M.J.-Slovakia-EU
They are becoming more "Coldplay" like
Any Day ??????
Any Day U2 are beyond any band today, so they can't become Coldplay
Bono’s voice❤❤❤❤❤
This has to be the best live performance in this type of setting. The pure raw talent is unreal. And I can't get over how much I love this song.
That made my hair stand up wow!
Adam Rounds me too
Still visiting in 2020 and it sounds better than ever !
Cause Bono voice bests itself
Totally right!!!
totally!
Love this song and performance so much. You really see Bono’s showmanship as he engages the audience and guests as it builds towards the end. Never tire of his voice.
I have to revisit this often and play it for anybody who'll listen. Love U2.
Brilliant. His voice is unmatched.
Ujj
❤
This has to be the purest form of raw talent ever. Jimmy has a look on his face that tells the story. I have watched this so many times. It brings me joy!!
I love Fallon's face while he's sitting there watching them play. It's almost like his whole laugh flashes before his eyes and he says to himself, "how the hell did I get here?" This was probably the most memorable moment I've ever seen on entertainment television. What a prefect night.
Well said!! Fallon's no slouch as a rock musician himself, and I think that's pretty much exactly what he's thinking. These are the kind of magic experiences we lived for in the hippie days -- it was very emotional for me.
and the haters still say that bono is overated.. mans this voice is just killer
Shame he's such a twat. But I agree his voice is fantastic, not so much now though.
F the Haters.
if he is overrated .... what is the rest ????
Who? U2 is unique, universal and unrivaled!
Don't feed the trolls
This song was one of the favourites of my dad ! He passed away this summer… Since I listen it almost every day, when I’m not okay ( really often) but when I’m okay I listen it too. Every weekend I take my car for a tour and I turn on the music with it. Volume at 100% !!! Thanks guy to help me to accept the fact that I’ll never see my dad again ! This was our moment with him, now it’s my moment !!! Maybe the only times u2 was the song of funerals… Thanks again U2 ! Lionel, 19YO Belgium ( that’s why my English is so bad ) ❤
Rip your dad, he's your angel now
Love to you Lionel, it's an awful thing that's happened to you.. But listen to this with the happiness in your heart that your father would.. Not with an anxious memory, but a memory of all the good things he brough you xx
Thanks guys ! Step by step I’m going to be okay. Thanks ❤️
I'm French and I understand everything you've written 😉 However, I feel sorry for your loss... You dad had good taste in music.. ❤May he rest in peace..
Thinking of you Lionel, from Australia 🤗
That "oh yea yea yea"! At the end ,🤗 goosebumps
6 years later and this performance still brings tears.
Yes
Agree with you
Tell me about it. The first time I watch this performance somehow I got teary eyed for no reason and I'm not a big U2 fan.
Same here, such a great performance.
Same here
No autotune, nothing but talent
And hard work!
Yes 👍🏿 pure talent
Todo música! De la buena!
And Bono
Reverb
U2 is the best ever!
You have to be a very special type of musician to sit there and belt out something so magical like that. One of the greatest bands that have ever been. We will never see anyone like them again. May they continue for a lot longer.
YES- A SPECIAL BAND
Magnificent❤
Thats no ordinary talent...
Hell yeah
Daniel Silva that's pure Irish magic.....
I remember when I was a child I would hear U2 in my parent's car: With or Without You, Where the Streets Have No Name, etc. I enjoyed them, but it wasn't until college until I could fully appreciate the lyrics and emotion. Each song is like a mini-story that shares a particular emotion. Bono makes you feel it in every song, and it looks like he truly enjoys what he does. Would kill to be able to sit where Fallon was in this clip. If you can't feel U2, you're dead inside.
My very first U2 video was Mysterious Ways on Bevis and Butthead lol
feel urself
No need to, your girl's always over
Well said. I feel same way.
Totally completely agree they are my religion
Just brilliant! I love the way Roots just fitted into the music so effortlessly. You just can't beat great musicians.
Awesooooome
Oh Bono, you have carried so many so far. Thank you guys
A gem of a song - no one can come close to the way Bono sings literally from his soul . A song of upliftment. A song of hope An anthem of Love
So freakn true
Absolutely love this song and this performance!
Facts.
No one, huh? 😂😂
THAT IS TRUE TALENT, NO BULLSHIT
lol true, always disliked bono and his stupid glasses but dam, these guys were/are huge for a reason.
he has glaucoma so light messes with his eyes big time so he has to wear sunglasses to help that. But I hated it for the longest time just like you till he gave a solid reasoning as to why
Pure Artistry hits different.
What a experience for Jimmie, Will, the band and anyone blessed to have had the opportunity to hear this!😊
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls. That right there are what we call real musicians!!!
J
I like this, the best musicians made the best music, so amazing
best part 0:00-3:43
I see what you did there! :D
yes, those 2 seconds of silence after the video ended are also great lol!
What model Taylor is that
It's a Taylor 812e
verdade ... U2 4ever!!!
So much sensibility, so much soul, so much love ❤
His voice is awesome I watched the live version 10 years ago and was blown away with how you could feel the sincerity in his voice.
You know you are something special when you see happy faces of other musicians (Roots) playing along.
ok going to let you know my love of U2....back in the 70s living in Cork ,Ireland heard of this Dublin band that played In a club just up the road...U2 graffiti everywhere ,letting us know watch these guys,nearly 40 years later they have been a constant companion both as musicians but also as proud Irishmen. Delighted to see so many posts from young people here just as I introduced my son to these fabulous guys ,360 tour ...same reaction in love .
:O
+gary taylor I dream about having a chance like that sense I was 6 years old, I'm 18 now and still dreaming : D
u2 amazing
I go to school just up the road from their school
I DONT KNOW ?IT WAS THE BEGINNING OF THE 80 THE FIRST ALBUM WAS PUBLISHED AT 20 OF OCTOBER 1980 IN ENGLAND AND IRELAND.AND IN USA IN 3 MARCH 1981
Most underrated band ever to exist.. People fall back to the apple situation.. "The sea throws rocks together, but time leaves us polished stone" .. Fuck me can you get more philosophical! For me there has never been a band that has produced such meaningful songs over a longer time.. Take the time to appreciate people!!
Questlove's smile when Bono substituted his name to the "Ordinary Love" lyric is just ✨✨✨
Its 2021, anyone is still into this masterpiece !
Hell yes my friend
Still here
Oh yes
Love it, when roots come in wow! X
nver tired of seeing this
I prefer this version to the studio. So lovely seeing these guys age together, and to age with them
Me too. Its fantastic!
Yeah, I was thinking the same: this has more spirit than the studio recording.
I ❤️ mature U2. They've always said they're a live band. That the songs only come to life after they've sung them in front of (/with) an audience a few times. So grateful for KZhead!
We're all around the same age. Bono and Adam are a few months older than me and Edge and Larry are younger. It's being that close in age that made me notice them, that and the faith they expressed at the beginning.
When you can sing this good with acoustics that says it all. Pure talent. Nothing else.
A pretty example of "give a heart and soul" on a song, this perforance bring me to U2 in a right time of my life.
That was brilliant! Everything, Will Smith, The Roots, U2... Everything!!!
o tak.....super....:-)
DITTO!
lmfao... you so right dude!!
At first his voice is incredible. But the fact that he still sings really good live after 35 years is even more incredible.
it was playback…
@@ABerti nope
lot of medicine need for this…
@@ABerti is not play back at all... You can clearly hear when the Roots (the band) start playing together the drummer makes a mistake.... Apart from that it feels 1000% live performance
Bono it's a great great vocalist
Big Willie was blown away
So much passion always from U2. Humble, pure, passion and compassion for humans. I love them so much❤
I'm 15 and i remember when my dad showed me U2 and I fell in love, the first song I heard I think was vertigo. So that was like 10 years ago, and my first concert I went to, I was 10 it was at Denver. I absolutely love U2
Same here :). I'm your age and my dad also showed me U2 'cause he is great fan of them. The only differences between us aer this that my first U2's song was "Get on your Boots" and unfortunetly I have never been to their concert...
Vertigo got me into them my band
same! I'm your age too, I fell in love with the miracle. and this year we finally got to see them live (: (my parents had been there before but me and my brother were too young back then) and it was breathtaking.
+Ford Rages I thought this was gonna be one of those "Im only 15 and I listen to good music" comments, but I was wrong. Nice.
Same exact for me, im just not lucky enough to go to a concert
So many can perform in a stadium, so few in your living room.
True
you're so right
It can perform it in a stadium! My respect
sbranagh1 You've just said it all!!!★☆★ ♥♡♥
sbranagh1 rfffdfcbvv u
pure talent, pure music.
Indeed
8 years ago, and i still feel amaze to hear Bono
Amazing performance...U2 is one of the greatest...
I think the same man.
Daaayum, this is why they are widely considered to be one of the best live acts in the world.
Bono has angles coming out of his throat ❤
The world is in a need for these words to materialize.
really impressive the singer at 2:08
arnaud Leseine Bono!
"Roots?... Roots?" Fantastic, pure talent!
Boost Boost , es una arenga.
Not a big U2 fan but I've been listening to this for 7-8 years
Its so good they got a standing ovation
A heartwarming culmination of a special performance.
@@margaretsch.3609 yes
U2 best acoustic, U2 is life, U2 is history of music!
Almost impossible to see a band that long together without breakups and crazy scandals ...RESPECT TO THESE GUYS... my greatest influence.
Amor u2
*or without their lead singer dying. :(
Me too, U2 and Pearl jam. They passed through the rockstars disaster thing
Or crazy Sandles even..
So pure, so intense, so real, so authentic, so U2...
Bono was just born to preform. The most beautiful male voice. So clear and crisp. Man has soul. Always loved U2 from the start.
Bono’s voice was on point here Best he’s sang in years, falsetto was marvellous
Niall Doherty - Haze - Bono suffered from severe allergies for years and had no idea. After he saw an allergist he was told what foods to avoid and ever since his voice has come back to form
Thank you
Ok master
too much talent for one studio
This arrangement is absolutely amazing - incredible
I prefer it then original one
The Moment when the song starts to carry you into something special….😎🎸only artists like U2 can do…..
That acoustic bass...awesome
Not a huge U2 fan but some of their live performances are so freaking powerful. Bono is soo talented. This one is just perfect, and the lyrics are truly meaningful
Truly!
Same. This is the only song that I really listen to from them. I love it so much. And specifically this performance. The other song I know I like is Bloody Sunday and I rarely hear that one. I just like the songs that make you feel something like this.
@@nuttygirl83 are you insane? Do you even know how many other great songs they have??! 🤯
Will Smith was like " Damn there goood "
@slamdunk2270 Exactly!
Those lads are sheer class. Guaranteed a magic concert. Like the lad below says none of that auto tune bollox.
I love it how they were tapping their feet synch. 😍 so great!
I've watched this over a thousand times, and I'll never get tired😍
same
+Vanelly Morais been there
+Vanelly Morais now I just stop by every day '-'
me neither, it's great!
exactly the same for me!
More 30 years singing, and Bono sings like it was his first day, with the same motivation. I think is that . the passion!!!
SAS Rends ta Vie Sublime more like 40 years
'Ordinary Love' but an extraordinary performance
I get goosebumps every time watching this
Is it magic? I can't stop watching it in 2019
Same bro
No, it's real.
Thank you for sharing the date you personally watch the video. It's all about you, and so fascinating to everyone else. Not sure why someone feels the need to post this on every single music video.
Love... wich is basically the same
Oh! You too?
A rock band who can take control, own and make their mark on any moment large or small, public or private. Unprecedented, unequalled.
For over 3 decades!!!
which is a remarkable rarity in rock

What a blessing to be born during their time!
Bono sings like a fucking king. Respect.

long live to the good music, just the beauty of a guitar and a good voice, long live to rock music
My favorite band U2. Bono still sounds amazing ❤. Pure raw talent 👏
This is power and beauty of music,this energy between peoples...this,no money.
No auto-tune. No lip sync. Pure Row talant.
Say what you will about Bono, guy has a great voice and it's still good. The dude is 56!!!!
ahepperl Great voice? You mean one of the best around...
Just a true band that admits the great spirit works through them !
er... I think you mean a one off! Talent!!
Hard to believe that they had him join the band because he "had the right look", betting that he would learn to sing.
that was Adam not Bono I think
