Most emotional song(s) by U2?
« on: January 28, 2024, 05:18:40 AM »
What song(s) have the power to pull your heartstrings? Here's couple of mine:

With Or Without You: Especially when the outro comes....oh man.

Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses: Very underrated....and very powerful.

Walk On: One of my picks, when I feel down.

Stay (Faraway, So Close!): Obviously.


I could also say that the whole The Joshua Tree is one big emotional ride for me.



one love, one life…

I’ll agree with Joshua Tree. The whole thing resonates in me.

Hard to do a list. That would be a very, very long list.

Top of my head :

Drowning Man
Bad
Heartland
Love is Blindness
Gone
Please
In a Little While
Love is all we have left
Book of your heart
A dangerous idea that almost makes sense...

Last Night on Earth always gets to me as I had a student once who matched the "she" in the lyrics and, sadly, died too soon.

One Tree Hill
Tomorrow
Kite
Love Is Blindness
White As Snow
The Troubles
The Little Things
RTSS
In the garden I was playing the tart
I kissed your lips and broke your heart
You
You were acting like it was the end of the world

I love the ending, but I find the arrangement half baked. The soundtrack version isn’t great, IMO.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned Luminous Times yet! That's a big one for me.

To that I'll add Love Is Blindness, Stay, Always Forever Now, In a Little While, and, a tad embarrassingly, Crumbs From Your Table (my mom used to play that a lot in the car's CD player growing up, so I have fond memories of that one).

EDIT: I'll throw Invisible in there too. I only started liking that song a couple years ago, so it has a freshness that a lot of U2's better songs lack for me, and I was reunited with it at a time I needed to be.

EDIT 2: Like a Song... deserves the honor most certainly. Another thread reminded me of it. I was too focused on U2's more romantic emotionalism.
