City of Blinding Lights

[Zooropa man]

Man, this song has become such a classic, at least I think it has. I'm watching the world cup as I type and listening to that song(promo) gives me goose bumps. I can't stop playing it. Specially the live versions.... lol

Just thought I share that with you fellow fans!

 

[vicyboy]

i agree with you 100 percent!

 

[U2_Refugee]

it gives me the chills and brings back great memories

 

[Sicy]

This is one of my absolute favorite U2 songs

 

[JanuaryStar]

Seriously

 

[one4u2]

This is one of my absolute favorite U2 songs

 

[pgv]

It takes me back so much.. wake up ending, the 'everyone' chant and then the beginning of COBL..

 

[annie_vox]

It's just fantastic live! It's going to be a classic no doubt... Even non U2 fans like it a lot It's the bst on bomb and one the best of the 90's

 

[dazzledbylight]

my jaw dropped the first time i heard it and it still gives me thrilling shiver of expansive sonic & vocal JOY when hearing it.

THEN.... hearing it LIVE!!! the 3 times on tour plus first in Brooklyn live OMG

it IS one of my favU2 AND alltime rock songs hands down.

 

[Neenie]

I want to hear this song live! Must be patient.....

 

[shaun vox]

WOW i never liked that song!!
i like streets but cannot stand City of Blinding Lights!!
zzzzzzzzzzz

 

[annie_vox]

I don't think Streets And City can be compared... People seem to do it a lot but I don't like to compare any song, because I believe that every song is unique even if it's not a good one...

The song is featured in an upcoming movie (to be released this friday.)

I saw a screening over the weekend, and the song sounded great, but it was a scene for the wrong fucking city.

Tha is all I'll say.

No way.... please don't kill the song. Hearing it for the World Cup commercials is good enough.

...one the best of the 90's

I don't understand how someone could not enjoy this song or not compare it to 'Streets. When I first heard City of Blinding Lights I loved it & thought it could replace Where The Streets Have No Name in their live set. To me it's kind of the same song years appart.

 

[The Disciple]

Nothing will ever re-capture that magic of seeing Bono come up in front of us with hands raised, while Edge is chiming in the background while confetti rained down on us..... this song is quite simply the most thrilling concert opener EVER. The combo of music, effects, props, lighting, everything.... pure magic.
