Song of the day 11-09-05: Walk On

[Cassis]

Walk on

And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
And love is not the easy thing
The only baggage you can bring
Is all that you can't leave behind

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for one second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No, they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place none of has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
You stay safe tonight

And I know it aches, how your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Home, hard to know what it is if you've never had one
Home, I can't say where it is but I know I'm going home
That's where the hurt is

And I know it aches and your heart it breaks
And you can only take so much
Walk on

Leave it behind
You've got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
All that you break
All that you measure
All that you feel
All this you can leave behind
All that you reason
It’s only time
All that you bear
No more than a feeling on my mind
All that you see
All that you wear
All that you sense
All that you scheme
All you dress up
All that you’ve seen
All you create
And all that you wreck
All that you hate

The Single/Live Version is breathtaking. Favorite song of ATYCLB.

 

[Popmartijn]

The live version was indeed very nice.
Nothing wrong with the studio version either.

 

[WalkOn21]

Single version

And if the darkness is to keep us apart
And if the daylight feels like it's a long way off
And if your glass heart should crack
And for one second you turn back
Oh no, be strong

Walk on, walk on
What you got they can't steal it
No, they can't even feel it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

You're packing a suitcase for a place none of has been
A place that has to be believed to be seen
You could have flown away
A singing bird in an open cage
Who will only fly, only fly for freedom

Walk on, walk on
What you've got they can't deny it
Can't sell it or buy it
Walk on, walk on
Stay safe tonight

And I know it aches, how your heart it breaks
You can only take so much
Walk on, walk on

Leave it behind
Leave it behind
You’ve got to leave it behind
All that you fashion
All that you make
All that you build
And all that you break
All that you measure
All that you deal
All you count on two fingers
And all that you steal

Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, halle

[MacPhistoPT]

Top 10 song for me, #7 or #8, and my favourite song of ATYCLB tied with Kite.

Album, live, single versions... all great.

And it's the best song of the 00's U2 IMO. The zenith of beauty.

 

[thetitans2k]

This song is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Theedge070]

Easily my favorite U2 song ever, possibly my fav song of all time. The Tribute To Heroes version was amazing.

 

[tiny dancer]

This song means so much to me. Ater my mom passed away in 2003 I would play this song, and it helped me get through the difficult days.

 

[Axver]

One of the best U2 songs ever.

 

[Lancemc]

Easily my favorite U2 song ever, possibly my fav song of all time. The Tribute To Heroes version was amazing.

I couldn't agree more.

I wish they had done the Peace On Earth/Walk On segue more often. It was so beautiful!

 

[Utoo]

Great song. As MacPhisto PT said, tied with Kite as best on ATYCLB. I don't care what anyone else says--that was a great album.

 

[Theedge070]

Great song. As MacPhisto PT said, tied with Kite as best on ATYCLB. I don't care what anyone else says--that was a great album.

It really was. ATYCLB is never appreciated enough.

 

[Axver]

It really was. ATYCLB is never appreciated enough.

From what I've seen, in other U2 communities, ATYCLB is very popular, but for whatever reason, it's not on Interference.

I would definitely agree Walk On and Kite are the best on ATYCLB.

 

[Irishteen]

Walk on U2's 8th best song, and a amazing one at that.

 

[U2phan]

how appropriate for 9/11, I listened to the Peace On Earth/Walk On at midnight last night, felt so soothing to me

 

[SiW87]

By far the best song on the ATYCLB album. Probably one of the most uplifting songs I've ever heard as well. It has a personal appeal to me, and definitely in my top 5. Great lyrics, great sound, great everything.

The way Europeans write dates freaks me out.

 

[Neenie]

I love the Hallelujah Mix
