#U2 #WithOrWithoutYou #Remastered
Lyrics:
See the stone set in your eyes
See the thorn twist in your side.
I wait for you.
Sleight of hand and twist of fate
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
And I wait- without you
With or without you
With or without you.
Through the storm, we reach the shore
You gave it all but I want more
And I'm waiting for you-
With or without you
With or without you.
I can't live with or without you.
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.
My hands are tied, my body bruised
She got me with nothing to win
And nothing else to lose.
And you give yourself away
And you give yourself away
And you give, and you give
And you give yourself away.
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you.
With or without you
With or without you
I can't live
With or without you
With or without you.
Most bands make music. This one makes history.
This will be in my playlist forever.
This is my favorit song of U2 ! I still sing it now that i have 48 years old ! I became a singer/musician and writer... and U2, you have been with me all the way through the storms in my life... Thank you for your talent.
49 and they've gotten me through some things!!! ❤❤❤
How many people are here in 2024 ?
Greatest band of all time!
This is the song that changed my life. It reflects both personal struggles, and relationship struggles, and I think that's why it's so moving and undeniably beautiful. It doesn't sound like an '87 song, but neither before or after its time either. It's just timeless and immortal and forever in my soul
Well said. It's timeless right along with Stairway To Heaven and November Rain! All are masterpieces!!
Sounds like 87 to me and there's nothing wrong with that.
For a while I thought it was from 1996.
I thought it was a song from the 90's for a long time. Great song.
what same.@@salvadoramaya8642
My song to my brother. I waited for him for 25yrs and I prayed. He called me 2012. I am a believer of believing. I love you Mikeo. Love your sister Melody.
Beautiful.
???
Universal music, being deaf, dumb & blind, your true love will always find you 😊
I was 16 in the March of ‘87 when this #1 U2 US Hit came out. My 1st love had decided to move to Oregon to live with her biological dad, and I was left alone to wonder, and at times felt like I couldn’t live with or without. Powerful years; powerful song!
Please don't let this song die,,,,, still listening this song in 2023,,,,,
Me too!
I am here with u and for this epic song
It will never die!!!
Greatest song ever
Yes! ❤
I lost my 1st child (5 1/2 month stillborn) in 1987 when this song came out. It's always been my song for my baby
Sorry. I greive with you. Ours was 4 months to the day. Hes with God now. 1991.-
Hi, this song, don't ask me how, has HEALING powers, gets at your soul , very spiritual. 🙏
"Love is the Ultimate Truth. The Ultimate Truth is Existence. Existence is Understanding. Understanding is Love." - St. Cupid oz."
First time I heard this on MTV I fell in love with this song. I'm 47 now and without a doubt this is still my favorite song of all times.
How can a song bring joy, a sense of being haunted, a sense of sadness, and a sense of contemplation all at the same time? U2 does it with this song.
The complexity of real artists.
As a 6 year old kid i sat on the backseat from my fathers car. He always listened to songs of U2. Now 23 years later still listening to these kind of songs. Love it!
I used to listen with my uncle ..and am 23 years old now . still listening ❤️
One of the best love ballads ...kind of an anthem for 40 -45 year olds ❤️🙏
So much is being given away in this song it's hard to believe there's anything left.
Played at my sister’s funeral, requested by her husband… I miss you so much my beautiful baby sister. The best person I’ve ever known. Pure goodness in every way. Love you forever and a day 🤍 🪽👼🏻🪽🕯️👼🏻🌈🌹☮️💟
best song ever
God bless her !!!!
🙏 sorry for your loss.
🕯️ 🕯️❤️❤️
I just lost mine 2 days ago. 😢😢😢. A pain that will last me forever.
This song belongs to that category of tunes that simply "cannot avoid listening". Not many but incredibly meaningful. Thanks God.
Yes it is
Super Bowl Halftime Special 2002, the best ever thanks U2.
im so glad this song was used in 'friends' otherwise i would have never discovered U2
That poignant whistling synth with that steady syncopated bass line plays so smoothly with Bono’s raspy vocals, that build up to an incredible hook. Great track.
I think it’s actually the infinity guitar that they got lent doing that.
This song reminds me of my lost baby. It evokes tears of joy and sadness simultaneously. Thank you U2.
May God give you patience..
Sorry for your loss
@@faraza5161 Thank you.
@@stevenschmeevan6364 Thank you.
Incredible to think U2 is the basis of most modern day christian worsip music
The guitar-work on this one is a fireworks-display
I never seem to stop feeling surprised at how ahead of its time this song was. The way they put together the instruments, Bono's vocals. Ohhhh and the way thr main guitar riff comes in is just...indescribably perfect.
First time I heard it I genuinely thought it was from the 2000s.
This song is so good. Those who don’t like it, unfortunately some day it is likely you’ll come across it again, and it will break you down in a way you didn’t know music could. Impossible to deny this song’s power.
100%
Isn’t it amazing how music can express our inner thoughts and emotions better than we ever could? Ps. I’m kinda jealous of the those who disliked this song, cause they probably never felt this way and I wish I could too
My all time fave beautiful song brings back so many memories of heartache.heard it today on sex education had tears in my Eyes so many memories
Trust me, I am jealous of them too, in a way, but usually, the kind of emotion that this song can evoke is only brought on by a pain that results from the loss of a true kind of ecstasy. If someone can't get what this song is trying to say to them, then they probably haven't gotten to feel all of the things that make us human, this song only hurts so much because at one point we were that much happier. So yeah in a way I'm grateful I get to experience this song, even though 9 days out of 10 I wish that I didn't know the feeling. @@al3bellino
I agree.
I've discovered U2 thanks to my dad. I'm now listening to this song after going through a heartbreak. While it still hurts, I'm trying to find peace, continue my journey and enjoy life with or without her
You will find peace. Sorry about what ur going through. I was there before years ago and now I have found my best friend. My wife. She’s awesome. Be patient. Believe me. This is coming from someone who isn’t patient but have come along way. Still improving. God bless you
Some songs just get better and better as the time passes. This is one of thoes songs!
My dad passed away at may 1st this year and i didn't get to have a last chat with him now i'm here listening U2 songs because this is his favorite band and by listening to their songs i feel like he's just here with me
I’m sorry for your loss. May his memory be a blessing.
Hey Brother,I am sorry.
Sorry you won’t be able to see your dad. Tough to say good bye during this difficult times. I lost my grandfather and my cousin and it’s tough to not be able to attend their funerals
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My dad loves this song too. I listen this song every time we have a conflict
One of my parents' favorite bands of all time. They're so timeless, like The Beatles. Hearing U2 at such a young age made me fall in love with the musical world. 14 years have passed since I first remember hearing them, and I still love them dearly. Truly an amazing band.
U2 has the power to change the world they have greatness.
Oh my God! I would do anything to spend time w/ them again and hear the singing on the way home from the pub! The single-mist esquisite sound I've ever heard, grown men experiencing pure joy! God Bless you!
100%
Just can’t believe how awesome the 80’s were. Everybody in high school had this album.
Lucky you! I'm 16 but stuck in the 80's and 90's rock songs... Damn i wish i was there when the true music was created
Indeed..80s decade of pure music and environment.
@@norismarshahsidek246 totally agreed! And not forgetting the 90's... How i wish i could feel the vibe of the 80's and 90's 😭
Still sounds as good as it did 37 years ago
Hell yeAh!!!!👍❤️
37 year ago ? ☹️😔
❤❤❤
With or Without You" by U2 is a song that explores themes of love, longing, and uncertainty. The lyrics depict a complex and sometimes tumultuous relationship, with the singer expressing a sense of being torn between the desire for connection and the need for independence. The song's meaning can be interpreted in various ways, but it often resonates with listeners who have experienced the challenges of love and commitment. Ultimately, the song captures the emotional intensity and ambiguity that can accompany romantic relationships.
When music makes you shiver you know the pond has turned into a river.
I remember hearing U2 for the first time travelling on a train in Normandy France. It was a rainy stormy day and this song came on a traveller’s boom box. I’ve been a fan ever since.
Rainy days and normandy, name a more iconic duo.
@@pew3561hiroshima and atom bombs
The relentless bass line and drums, Edge's guitar artistry and Bono's gut wrenching passion - all these elements create a whole greater than the parts. You cannot turn away from this song.
Well said.😊
Larry and Adam lay down the rhythm that allows Edge and Bono to be absolutely brilliant.
Wait until you mimic this song and hit all Bono's notes! It's an incredible achievement of mine !!
At age 52, never again.
...with or without you, the song, is a G O A T
Indeed.
I discovered this song 30 years ago from a movie called "Blown Away." I was a 14 year old kid from the South Bronx at that time. And this is one of my favorite songs, ever. Good music has no boundaries.
Saw that one some days ago again. Love that movie, it brought me to this song too. Tommy Lee Jones singing it makes it even better
Still a classic that never grows old ❤
I've never been a U2 fan.. but my mom just passed away last sunday from a massive stroke. We were playing this song from her phone for her beside the hospital bed because she liked it on her spotify playlist... Now as I hear this I just tear up and miss her dearly. It is a pretty song. If your mom is still around give her a giant hug, because there will be a point in time that you won't be able to again.
The Black Telephone Those of us old enough to remember when the phone was wired to the wall, usually in the kitchen, can relate to this story. I loved this read. When I was a young boy, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood. I remember the polished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of the box.. I was too little to reach the telephone, but used to listen with fascination when my mother talked to it. Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person. Her name was "Information Please" and there was nothing she did not know. Information Please could supply anyone's number and the correct time. My personal experience with the genie-in-a-bottle came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. Amusing myself at the tool bench in the basement, I whacked my finger with a hammer, the pain was terrible, but there seemed no point in crying because there was no one home to give sympathy. I walked around the house sucking my throbbing finger, finally arriving at the stairway. The telephone! Quickly, I ran for the footstool in the parlor and dragged it to the landing. Climbing up, I unhooked the receiver in the parlor and held it to my ear. "Information, please," I said into the mouthpiece just above my head. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear. "Information." "I hurt my finger..." I wailed into the phone, the tears came readily enough now that I had an audience.. "Isn't your mother home?" came the question "Nobody's home but me," I blubbered. "Are you bleeding?" the voice asked "No, "I replied. "I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts." "Can you open the icebox?" she asked. I said I could. "Then chip off a little bit of ice and hold it to your finger," said the voice. After that, I called "Information Please" for everything. I asked her for help with my geography, and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me my pet chipmunk that I had caught in the park just the day before, would eat fruit and nuts. Then, there was the time Petey, our pet canary, died. I called, "Information Please," and told her the sad story. She listened, and then said things grown-ups say to soothe a child. But I was not consoled. I asked her, "Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a heap of feathers on the bottom of a cage?" She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, " Wayne , always remember that there are other worlds to sing in." Somehow I felt better. Another day I was on the telephone, "Information Please." "Information," said in the now familiar voice. "How do I spell fix?" I asked All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest . When I was nine years old, we moved across the country to Boston . I missed my friend very much. "Information Please" belonged in that old wooden box back home and I somehow never thought of trying the shiny new phone that sat on the table in the hall. As I grew into my teens, the memories of those childhood conversations never really left me. Often, in moments of doubt and perplexity I would recall the serene sense of security I had then. I appreciated now how patient, understanding, and kind she was to have spent her time on a little boy. A few years later, on my way west to college, my plane put down in Seattle . I had about a half-hour or so between planes. I spent 15 minutes or so on the phone with my sister, who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown operator and said, "Information Please." Miraculously, I heard the small, clear voice I knew so well. "Information." I hadn't planned this, but I heard myself saying, "Could you please tell me how to spell fix?" There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, "I guess your finger must have healed by now." I laughed, "So it's really you," I said. "I wonder if you have any idea how much you meant to me during that time?" "I wonder," she said, "if you know how much your calls meant to me. I never had any children and I used to look forward to your calls." I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again when I came back to visit my sister. "Please do," she said. "Just ask for Sally." Three months later I was back in Seattle . A different voice answered, "Information." I asked for Sally. "Are you a friend?" she said. "Yes, a very old friend," I answered. "I'm sorry to have to tell you this," She said. "Sally had been working part time the last few years because she was sick. She died five weeks ago." Before I could hang up, she said, "Wait a minute, did you say your name was Wayne ?" " "Yes." I answered. Well, Sally left a message for you. She wrote it down in case you called. Let me read it to you. The note said, "Tell him there are other worlds to sing in. He'll know what I mean." I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant. Never underestimate the impression you may make on others. Whose life have you touched today?
rest in peace to your beautiful mother she had good music taste
Understand my son passed 2019 unexpected
Sorry for you lost
I'm so sorry, hugs for you.
If Elvis had heard this song he would have given himself away.
This song is so good it becomes an act of Prayer It's worth 50 Swiftie songs (and probably a hell-of-a-lot more)
I can't listen to any of their songs without bittersweet tears. They were the favorite band of my deceased firstborn son. It's like I can have flashbacks of the music coming from his bedroom and me yelling to turn it down. 😢❤
That's beautiful. I'm so sorry.
@@dbod4866 Thank you. Many years, of course, but no loving parent wants to outlive their child/ren.
😥❤
My condolences
@@evelynneufeld7610 Many thanks. Have a Blessed New Year.
One of those rare songs that comes crashing through the thoughts and emotions of anyone growing up in that decade. Even I didn't realize then how powerful and everlasting this song would be. A TRUE classic!
Only time I ever saw them, was for this tour. Boston Garden glad to say I did.
The best spiritual band ever
Adam Clayton doesn't get a ton of appreciation. But he kicks this off and is half the song.
U2 - Ireland's gift to the world.
Truly.
I humbly submit great whiskey too!!
@@tyflormann5334 Oh, and of course Guinness too!
@@JamesGore1547 I prefer U2. :)
James Gore I really wanted to be Bono when I was a kid!
Timeless classic. Nothing like a U2 classic That bass ride is one of the most emotional in history of music
Greatest song of all time!
One of the most incredible and poignant expressions of hope ever written and sung. It is truly incredible. Thank you U2.
Ever since I was 3-4 my dad would always put on his playlist while we ran errands and this was one of the songs. I would always say "daddy this is my favorite song!" and he would look over at me and smile each time. Looking back on it makes me really sad that we can't do that anymore. Love you dad.
DAM ?
James Ward this was my dads favorite band. He died this morning and I am in tears. Love you Dad!
This song takes me back to 1987, when I was pregnant with my 1st child. My son Josh, whom I adore 🥰 He’s now 33! ❤️ I absolutely love this song then & now… Bono is truly awesome!!
💖
I was 4 in 87 🙂
So was Bono's muse, his wife Alison at the time, she was pregnant with their first daughter when he wrote the song.
I named my eldest son Joshua after the Joshua Tree alhum. He was born in 1995, I was 19. Still touches me in my soul.
@@veggieaussiechick I was 12. U2 shaped my idea of music!
Hauntingly beautiful opening music. I wish that it was longer. Much longer.
just love the flow of music ,one of the greatest songs ever written and sung.
My dad used to play this in the car, whenever I was sleeping I would wake up and pretend I was asleep so he would take me up to my room. Good times. Always Cherish every single moment with your family, you don't know when they'll be gone.
True
Beautiful
Well said, wise words
Couldn't be truer!! My mother father, brother and sister have all now passed and boy do I miss them.
So true I lost my dad last year, I will always miss him
This song gives me nostalgia with memories that never happened, from a time that never existed.
cap
What great memories, slow dancing in 8th grade with my first beau! First kiss! Best song!
Heck yeah!!! Still awesome in 2024, ❤
Dad made me listen to this song 2 years ago. A year ago, i bought a car for my family. I don't think I've seen my father so happy in a while when I got him the car. We went on a short trip in our new car. On the way back, i played this song in the car. Mom and sister were sleeping, the driver was driving, and my father was enjoying my selected songs, nodding his head in the front seat, i remember i played this song and the moment was so beautiful. It felt so good to see him enjoying , relaxing on a peaceful drive to home after working so hard all these years for me. My dad passed away 2 months back. This song will forever remain special to me now.
Va asta. Oy Vien 🐷💯👿. Con Tigo sin ti
Irelands' gift to the world.
Don’t forget Thin Lizzy
God's gift to Bono & the Edge. Cool names 💔
Don't forget Niall
Ireland's gift to the world was my Dad!
@@catherinesheppard7491 Wait your dad was Bonno?!?!
I was teenager in 1987....So many years has gone, but it's still my favourite song.
I was 20 years old in 1987 when this song was released. Great song back then and still a great song now.
I was 18 and heading to the Air Force. This song stayed on the airwaves in Wichita Falls, TX. One of my most memory Tech School period songs.
This song has finally made 1 billion downloads on Spotify
I usually don't get what people mean when they say a song is timeless... but then there is this song. This seriously does not sound 34 years old
How can so many people hate this tune ? I will love it until the day I die …. It touches more than the soul
Ikr?!
I assume the song hits a nerve
Our Help comes from Heaven ❤
I love U2... their songs, hits your heart just when you need something to make your soul feel like its your life replayed back.
Hello how are you doing today
This song unites all of us to be honest. Even with the pandemic, this song makes all of us Brothers and Sisters.
If you don't feel anything when you listen to this Masterpiece then I'm sorry for you. Love is ......
I am a big Simple Minds fan, however, U2 and particularly this song helped me out whilst working in the States and hearing it play both makes me realise how good and natural these guys are and then to find how good Mates Bono and Jim Kerr are is the icing on the cake. Would love to see U2 before I turn my toes up! Locked in to U2 in 85 and am 71 now and like many of the previous comments, this song and ‘Pride in the name of love’ will be on my ‘Check out’list along with‘Don’t you Forget About Me & Alive and Kicking.
Shout out to all those broken hearted listening to this in 2024. I may not know you, but if you're listening to this I can feel your pain. Always together, never apart. Maybe in distance, but never at heart. 🖤🤘
Excently worded so true every word 💔
Thank you
❤️@@deya8329

Lost my brother a month ago...and I found this song...just today...thank you Bono

Stay strong brother💪🏽
Condolences....💕💕💕
so sorry but he is around you and one day you will be together in everlasting life one far better than we can imagine!! and peace from todays world
Poor little black girl from Baltimore city and as a teenager U2 music found me. I’m now a 53 yr old woman laying in my bed right now zoning to all of U2 music . Music has no color when it’s just great and timeless ✌🏾
poor little palestinian babies you mean. sponsors of genocide. Shame on you U2, we will boycot you forever. Good thing you are already old.
I am a white bloke, I was born in a slum in Northern England.My surname is Irish. Irish blood then. I have a few years on you but we're a similar vintage. Your last sentence is true and beautiful. Bless you sweet child of this world. Bono became a bit odd, but this era was amazing. Peace and love to you. May I call you Sister ?
That's real... Beautiful words.
@@MW-us3sv of course you can ❤️
Yesssss nikki😊 BONNIE SCOTLAND hands across the water ....ps .....R.I.P STEVIE BHOY ☯️
This song always brings tears to my eyes when I hear it. Reminds me of my mom who always gave of herself even though she had nothing. She would give her last dollar to someone else in need. I miss you mom very much . Can't live without you!❤
There are not many songs that stop you in your tracks and you have to stop whatever you are doing just to listen until the end.This is one of those songs.Almost puts you in a trance. Such a great song.
💯. If this song comes on the radio, you turn it up, sit in silence and drive until it's finished.
True words pal
that´s what I'm doing now, I stopped working to listen this masterpiece
Nah
@@multimeter2859 yeah
One of the most beautiful songs ever written, immortal masterpiece.

Nursing my life long crush on that man!
Bono is my Uncle’s Favorite Rockstar
Since humans started making music, the best by far
Ll
This is pretty much top-tier music but still I can think of many more iconic pieces.
This Is One Of The Most Powerful Rock Songs Ever Recorded.
I'm gonna have to disagree. This song transcends genre, calling it one of the greatest rock songs limits it. It's one of the best songs ever, period.
@@snormax7691you are most definitely correct by saying that
Yes
@@snormax7691 it's on my playlist of 56 songs so I can't disagree
Now this is true.
Beautiful song and best band since the 80’s! Forever in my heart U2!
My guitar teacher wanted me to play this song. Now hearing it, I understand why. The guitar is killer.
Can't believe my dad is gone, he showed me this song years ago when I was a kid and he'd sing along so I would too sometimes. He just passed away today and this song brings back so many memories.. I love you dad ❤ 06/16/21
So sorry for your loss 🥺🙏🏼
🙏
Stay strong man let music guide you
I’m here for you man whatever you need. I know it’s tough man.
So sorry; keep your dad alive in your heart, in your thoughts and prayers, and in your music. Lost my dad in '84; still think about him every day.
Will never forget this song and is something I play at important events ever since ….1st time was in elementary school graduation with a first dance with a girl …yrs later for several funerals and weddings …a tune that’s embedded in our souls for eternity .
Best song ever , salute to bono and his crew
May 2024?🤔
