Great song isn't, great lyrics, great guitar plus since I play an acoustic version of it right now great fun to perform, All I Want Is You everyone share the love

A river in a time of dryness
A harbour in the tempest...

such a gorgeous song. The Edge's solo at the end is out of this world. Perfect epic end to that era.

True. Maybe cos it doesn't have very complex lyrics.

 

[U2girl]

A beautiful song.

All i want is you is song that all people like and love to hear, but won't mention it in top 5, but it's a song that is always there, in our hearts, minds, souls and ALWAYS will be. I hope to hear it live, some day.

 

[tiny dancer]

I this song, plus the video.

 

[Shaliz]

It's beautiful.

 

[trish0860]

Loved it the first time I heard it and love it now.

 

[angel_28]

Love it!!!!!...All i want is..............YOU!!!!....

I love this song live...especially when Bono gets the crowd to sing the "you" part.

All I Want Is You is my number one all-time favorite U2 song. I love it so much. Everything about this song is amazing. The vocal, the lyric, the guitar (best Edge solo ever), the orchestral outro...all combine to create the best song U2 ever wrote.

 

[Zoomerang96]

one of their best, no doubt about it.

 

[Aygo]

I love U2's Omagh performance of this song...
So brilliant, so emotional... so beautiful...

 

[RickFly]

brilliant song. my wife and i had our first dance together at our wedding to it.

 

[u2gator]

Every live cd that I have that has this song on it, it is the song that the crowd seems to go wild for the most. It is truly one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Disaapointingly I think most think it is a song about love gone wrong but to me it is actually a declaration of true love. That is why my wife and I also danced to this song at our wedding for our first dance. The full album version is best with the orcehstra at the end. We went to 7 elevation shows and disappointingly they didn't play it at one of them. Oh well just another reason to see multiple shows this tour (if I can ever get tickets).

Thanks for starting this thread.

All I Want is You....

 

[JOFO]

one of their best, no doubt about it.

true feelings....the bear is romantic....

almost as good as Airbag

 

[Neenie]

I rediscovered this song about two months ago, been playing it ever since.

*puts on all I want is you*

 

[RademR]

this song is perfection. PERFECTION, i tell you....

the "mood" is so perfect, the lyrics are amazing, and the music fits so perfectly with that the song is about. When Bono yells out the desperate yells of "ALL I WANT IS YOU" at the end you hear Edge's guitar build with it and have that awesome solo at the end. Incredible.

 

[ZeroDude]

Right at the end of the solo I always wave my arm in the air, the sort of moment of sheer joy, it's amazing, one of those timeless songs that sounds like nothing else in the history of music, again amzing stuff

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

plus the video.

Aw, the video's awesome. Rather sad, but great nonetheless...got an interesting story and everything.

And yes, this song is wonderful...I heard it on the radio Saturday night (was being played during a radio show I was listening to), and...yeah, it's a beautiful song. I love the lyrics.

And hey, it doesn't hurt that Benmont Tench from Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers plays on this song, either .

Havent watched the video, in what seems like years now. Have to give it a whirl when I get home later!

 

[boystupidboy]

i remember when it came out as a single and they showed the whole video at the cinema,just before the film started.I remember the song/video but i'm buggered if i can remember what film it was A U2 CLASSIC

 

[God Part III]

Best 80's song. So fitting that they end the era with this.
It's so climatic, it's so powerful, U2 in a nutshell.

And singing a little bit of Sexual Healing into it makes it even better I think. Can't wait to hear this one live.

 

[CTU2fan]

The 1989-12-30 dublin version of that is awesome...love that song.

 

[skjuls]

this by far one of my favorite U2 songs if not my number one!
