I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my heart
Love is blindness
In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love
Blindness
A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense
Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Honey
Blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love
Blindness
Check out this blatant theft by the Croatian regime band. That's how it's done here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
Cool! Thank You for the info!
Good song but too depressive, rate 7
Hard to argue that. The best are the Lanois produced albums.
Yep, but kudos to Zooropa for many experimental songs and Faraway so close masterpiece. For me U2 is 1983 - 1993. Including Hold me thrill me... Everything pre and (especially) post is either a naive or totally pompous garbage.
same here, altho I have fondness for "Boy" as well
(kidding, great song)
Agreed!

even 11 isn't enogh for this song...
Also a wonderful version and different - and a must listen for anyone who likes this....
This album (along with Zooropa) were among U2's last great albums, in my opinion.....
Agreed. When I first heard this album, I really did not like it much (compared to previous U2 work)....until I got to this song.
The Band is Good!
now play something else, please.
Written by Bono
Bill, don't listen to this—-you're doing just fine |
I agree - her version is the best. I saw her live in Detroit a few years ago - great show.
Beautiful version of this Achtung Baby song, by Waldemar Bastos, from a very interesting U2 covers album by some of Africa's greatest artists.

"One day, my father arrived home and found me playing his concertina. I felt bad for having been caught touching, without permission, an instrument which was almost sacred for him. But he was pleasantly surprised; I think he was even satisfied to hear me playing popular radio songs. In the following Christmas he gave an accordion as a gift..."
"For many years, since I was a kid, I was in various bands, and traveled throughout Angola playing all kinds of music: pop, rock, blues, tangos, waltzes, among other styles, plus what I had learned from my father and my people in the places I traveled through. My music is defined by own life experiences, praise for Angolan identity, and a call for universal brotherhood. I have matured. Everything I have absorbed from other cultures, and various musical styles, - I have traveled quite a bit -, which has inspired beauty in me, is a part of what I'm doing now. So, it is gratifying for me to hear or read critics say, as it recently happened in the USA, that my music is universal. That it is not a regional music, but instead for people everywhere. This is my main and most sincere goal, my contribution for harmony among people! For me such is the first and ultimate function of Art." ~Waldemar Bastos
The fourth Album "Pretaluz" (Luaka Bop, 1997), had the participation and production of the musician
David Byrne (Talking Heads).

Cover? What?
everything on this album shines...
The Band is Good!
now play something else, please.
Oh well..
NO NO NO You're not. What is with the endless stream of U2? Whatever the reason, please please make it stop!
Oh well..
Then there were 2.
That's the greatness of this album, even today it sounds new and refreshing.
P.S. My wife never had the chance to listen to this album when it was released for many reasons that would take to long to explain.
I had a real hard time warming up to Achtung Baby when it first came out, but the band really had to move on from being so earnest and righteous. Not every song works but the album is great—almost as great as Joshua Tree.
I still have trouble warming up to anything from this album. I've an idea what they could have done instead of moving on...retired! I mean lets face it this is about the time when Bono really started to become an obviously irritating twat.
I agree. I can listen to this album over and over and it always moves me.

". . . Album of songs as cinema."
Beautifully put!

Yes, still their best album for mine.

For what it's worth: The solo wasn't meant to be some long, calculated technical extravaganza nor was it meant to overshadow the song itself. It's meant as an outcry, and most outcries are more of a spontaneous, unrefined, primal thing. At least that's my take on it. *shrugs*
I for one adore that solo. Edge was going through a divorce from a woman he loved so much, and that solo was (and is) pure emotion. I love this song so very much, and when that guitar kicks in my heart feels it deeply.
Anyone can go ahead and laugh, disagree or make fun of me if they want (it'll be ignored anyway), but I believe that this is one U2's greatest songs. From start to finish.
