an Ultra Violet(Light My Way) Gratification thread

[LuvandPeace1980]

I love this fucking song! It's always been one of my favourites.

This song goes down into those depths that even only some other U2 songs go, that screaming from the inside, for the answers. I find it Bono at his most raw.

Yeah, the live version from Dublin ZooTV is one of their most intense ever live performances, of any song.

 

[DPrinceNY]

great song. Then ending is awsume

 

[MumblingBono]

Bono at his best. Love it.

"when I was all messed up, and I had opera in my heeeead, your loooove was a lightbulb, hanging over my bed...."

Absolutely incredible song, one of my favorites. I saw these guys 6 times on ZOOTV and every time this song was the best played. UTEOTW live is incredible but Ultra Violet is the greatest song from that tour. I know thier sets are filled with AB songs but it would be an excellent choice for rotational basis.

 

[MsMofoGone]

Sometimes I feel like I don't know ...
Sometimes I feel like checking out ...
I wanna get it wrong ...
Can't always be strong ...
And love, it won't be long ...

 

[fiesta79]

That song lights up my life. One of their best songs for sure.

 

[the soul waits]

One of their masterpieces without a doubt
Lyrics and music mingled perfectly. The music speaks where the words fall short and vice versa.

 

[xtihn]

awesome song. i love his voice and the guitar sounds amazing.

 

[what a bomb!]

Yeah I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I'll break bread and wine
If there was a church, I could receive in

Cos I need it now!

classic song!

 

[meriddle]

I love it, too. I would be nice to hear it on this tour.

 

[Nisse]

Yeah I'd join the movement
If there was one I could believe in
Yeah, I'll break bread and wine
If there was a church, I could receive in

Cos I need it now!

classic song!

that's acrobat

 

[what a bomb!]

that's acrobat

oppps! bollocks! got mixed up! lol too many beers....

 

[AtomicBono]

Ultraviolet is great... And I agree with what others have said, live it's even more amazing. Especially with a good ol snippet of Help before it "won't you pleeeeease, please help me, help me...sometimes i feel like i don't know..."

I think of Ultraviolet-Acrobat-Love is Blindness as one song...it's hard for me to listen to one without listening to the others. Imagine if U2 actually closed a concert with the Holy Trilogy once!!

 

[goldmember]

That song is absolutely amazing. I've never heard it live, though.

 

[gareth brown]

oppps! bollocks! got mixed up! lol too many beers....

Haha! You pillock! No wonder you've got bloody FATHER JACK for an avatar!!

 

[Lancemc]

Oh Sugar, now don't you cry
Oh child wipe the tears from your eyes
You know I need you to be strong
When the day is as dark as the night it long
Feel like trash, you make me feel clean
I'm in the black, can't see or be seen

Baby, baby, baby light my way.



I love this song. Some of bono's best lyrics. It especially rocks live.

 

[MacPhistoPT]

A special song. Very touchable.

ZOO TV Performance

Imagine this as an encore...

Two holy trinities in one encore!!

For those that havent seen it live here you go:

Clip is from ZooTV Washington 16th August 1992.

Just copy and paste the link into Internet Explorer, delete the spaces I have put in between 'web mail' and 'lib ero' and there you go. If you have any playback problems, download the latest codec from www.xvid.org.

This song rocks, here's hoping it shows up on Vertigo soon.

That's so true... All 3 are such excellent songs! And oh my God, that would be the best concert ever!!!

i'm listening to the song right now... and then i saw this thread....oh my god, that suggested encore would be the greatest moment in music. I don't mean to sound James Lipton about it, but damn that'd be fantastic

I used to dislike this song, I don't know why, now I absolutely love it

What about Discotheque-Do You Feel Loved-Mofo? That's a holy trinity to me... but I don't know where you'd fit that in, it would have to be before Streets because WOWY-Ultraviolet is good (though I think usually it was visa versa IRL, right?)

Baby baby baby light my way...
