Song of the day 15-08-05: I will follow

[Cassis]

I will follow

I was on the outside when you said
You said you needed me
I was looking at myself
I was blind,I could not see

A boy tries hard to be a man
His mother takes him by the hand
If he stops to think, he starts to cry
Oh why

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow

I was on the inside
When they pulled the four walls down
I was looking through the window
I was lost, I am found

Walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow

Your eyes make a circle
I see you when you go in there
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes
Your eyes

If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
If you walk away, walk away
I walk away, walk away
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
I will follow
Follow

Brilliant, and they played it at my gig in June. I was so happy!

A classic! Incredible how 25 years after it still blows out a stadium like yesterday here in Lisbon. Vertigo was cool but then I will follow was simply incredible. I even bruised my knee in the railings during this song, it was tottaly crazy.

Probably U2 biggest classic

 

[kennerado]

Bono sometimes sings "his lover takes him by the hand" does he not?

 

[Popmartijn]

My favourite U2 song ever!

'Nuff said.

 

[MsMofoGone]

'Your eyes make a circle'
'I see you when I go in there'
'Your eyes, your eyes'
'Your eyes, your eyes'


Where's that 'ass' thread when we need it ??

 

[Cassis]

My favourite U2 song ever!

'Nuff said.

[RavenBlue]

[Popmartijn]

[Cassis]

A classic U2 song, in my top 25. Catchy as hell. Still sounds great today... I bet when U2 played I Will Follow on SNL ( Bono ), a lot of people watching wondered "What's that awesome song about following and eyes and stuff? Is that on the new album?"

 

[xtihn]

this song rocks.

very catchy and energetic. a classic.

 

[LMP]

reminds me of that old thread

'But it's your ass!'

Seriously, one of the greatest riffs ever! Great song!

 

[Jack In The Box]

today, earlier I had a strong desire of listen to this song (and I just listened)

great song, energic, innocent, powerful

I totally agree 100 %% !! ... You're exactly right !!
I just couldn't resist mentioning that ass thread ... replacing those lyrics,
('eyes' with 'ass') was so-ooo hilarious !!
I may take the time to go and find that thread !!
Actually, I think it's way too far down to bring it back for another go !!

It was awesome... actually I remembered "the ass" when that part of IWF was played here

This song is really special. It's only #32 in the list I'm making ( ) but it's incredible how, being the most live played U2 song it still makes a entire stadium become totally crazy only with that great opening riff

 

[Irishteen]

Great song, brillant but its no Out Of Control, maybe if i heard it live I would change my mind, i got Out Of Control at my concert.
