The nipples reveal themselves to be very ugly. ass
The first time I heard "Kite" after my father's death in 2005. (Not my first listen, of course, but the first occurrence after he passed.)
"Who's to say where the wind will take you
Who's to say what it is will break you
I don't know where the wind will blow
Who's to know when the time has come around
I don't wanna see you cry
I know that this is not goodbye"
My dad had shot himself after being clinically depressed for several years. I'd planned to go see him the day before he died, but got tied up in household errands & talked myself out of going because, truth be told, I'd found myself having difficulty seeing him so pitiful. (Until his retirement & subsequent depression, my father had always been an optimist, a jokester & a generally well-tempered guy to be around.)
I felt a lot of guilt (and still do) that I made excuses that Sunday. The line "I don't want to see you cry, I know that this is not goodbye" brought me to my knees for several years after his passing. It still makes me teary-eyed.
On a less morbid note, I cried tears of pure, unadulterated elation the first time I heard "Bad" & ISHFWILF live. And the end of the absolutely perfect Pittsburgh show this July brought bittersweet tears to my eyes: sweet because it's the best live show I've ever experienced and bitter because it was the end of the tour road for me.

"Kite. Utter shite like this would not have passed the test on, say, The Joshua Tree.
Nice song; too bad about the horror-awful lyrics.
to you beautiful lady
catharsis through music is a powerful thing ~ continued peace and strength to you lovely
That's just such a sad story, I'm sorry this happened to you, but at the same time it's good to know you have U2's music as a source of strength, hope and elation in your life.
When Edge was singing in the film.Just finished watching it.
I never have personally, but I had a family member who got emotional to "Walk On" shortly after her father died. In a positive way too.
Same here..still loving every second of it.yes many times - moment of does it for me
Catman said:I know I'm going to get shit for this, but whatever...
The most recent U2 (sort of) song that brought me nearest to tears is... "Turn Off the Dark." Sometimes you just can't explain it. The song hit home for some reason, even with the weird, nonsensical spoken word outro
Yeah, that upset me.The performance of One on the Popmart Mexico video, holy shit was that overwhelming. You can hear Bono's voice breaking, he's hurting there.
RTSS got me once, too.I can't listen to Running to Stand Still without crying.
