Lyrics:
If you twist and turn away.
if you tear yourself in two again.
If I could, yes I would
If I could, I would let it go.
Surrender, dislocate.
If I could throw this lifeless life-line to the wind.
Leave this heart of clay, see you walk, walk away
Into the night, and through the rain
Into the half light and through the flame.
If I could, through myself, set your spirit free
I'd lead your heart away, see you break, break away
Into the light and to the day.
To let it go and so to find away.
To let it go and so find away.
I'm wide awake.
I'm wide awake, wide awake.
I'm not sleeping.
If you should ask, then maybe
They'd tell you what I would say
True colours fly in blue and black
Blue silken sky and burning flag.
Colours crash, collide in blood-shot eyes.
If I could, you know I would If I could, I would let it go.
This desperation, dislocation
Separation, condemnation
Revelation, in temptation
Isolation, desolation
Let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away
To let it go and so to find away
I'm wide awake,
I'm wide awake, wide awake
I'm not sleeping
Oh no, no, no.

This is the version they put on the Wide Awake in America EP. I used to listen to it on repeat over and over driving at night in a ‘78 Chevy 4x4 with a subwoofer behind the seat so I felt every part of that bass line. That was me singing my heart out, howling at the moon , in the wilds of Northern New Mexico at the end of the 90s. It’s always the song I come back to when I’m feeling excited or in need of some motivation. The song is pure power for me.

@Jaxx_101 2 года назад

I was 15 and had forgotten how much U2's music just blew my mind at the time. They were so fresh, so different. Beyond all the hatred they collect today, there's no denying how original they were and how peculiar their sound was. 37 years later I recognize that The Edge was one of the most original and innovative guitarists in rock history, his guitar is so "spacious" so evocative. And Larry Mullen is perhaps one of the most underrated drummers ever, he is a power metronome and his fills are absolutely unique and always in good taste. And I don't remember a performance by these guys where Bono didn't fire all his cartridges and I don't remember a time he missed a note. So, 37 years later It's happen to hear this song again and feel joy and nostalgia.

As a guitarist, when you have all the effects off (particularly the delays) Edge’s lines are incredibly simple. What’s hard is trying to ensure the timing of things while they are on, especially if you’re trying to learn the songs. I’ve almost had to dial in the delays just so I can play, and I’m unsure if I’ve gotten them right.

Something about the guitar in this song, it seems to need 2 guitarist or maybe they play a loop of recorded guitar, because it seems impossible to hit the notes you hear from one guitar. It's like there is a lead and a rhythm playing also. I've seen multiple videos of this song including Live Aid and Edge licks never match what you hear. Just wonder where is the 2nd guitar?

For me, the beauty of this song is the way that Clayton and Mullins keep the pace, driving the song along with a wall of sound, it allows the Edge to take over and then hold back coming and going fading in, fading out, The Edge and Bono take it in turns to headline the song, all the while the bass and drum giving the song relentless energy, this is pure gold, and a trio of Live Aid highlights, along with Bowies Heroes and the We will Rock You/We are the Champions finale by Queen

Prince was an amazing stage presence, but no one, and I mean NO ONE, has a stage presence like Bono. His ability to connect with his audience when he is on stage is incredible.

I've always felt that this song is a prayer for someone to find an internal peace they have been looking for without much success. It speaks to them on a level of compassion and understanding, with an undertone of desperation that this prayer will be answered. It was this aspect of U2 that made me look deeper into my Catholic background, and to find the deeper meanings of my faith in God.

Is this what is considered the “Wide Awake” version in B’ham in 1994? Have seen several references what I wrote is the ultimate live version of this song. Just wondering if this is it or I need to keep searching? LOVE this version though!

After 38 years it still gives me the chills. Up till this day it's a song you can picture in every schred off time. So fulfilling your mind and soul 💋♥️

I've always loved how this was recorded in Birmingham, England but ended up on an EP called "Wide Awake in America". I've said this already in my comments for the recently remastered and rereleased video for 'A Sort of Homecoming', but "Wide Awake in America" is a watermark album which takes me back to a magical time in my youth. And "Bad" was my gateway to discovering U2's catalogue before The Joshua Tree / Rattle and Hum. This version brings me back to that rainy night in November 1987 (merely days away from my 14th birthday), when the Joshua Tree Tour came to BC Place Stadium in Vancouver. The lads set that balloon-roofed stadium afire with a pointed version of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday', then elevated that fire into the sky with a soaring, endless rendition of 'Bad'. When they didn't play 'Bad' in 2017 when the JT Tour returned to BC Place (the balloon roof replaced by a retractable one 7 years prior) I was not disappointed because I finally got to hear "...Homecoming" live. The irony of which was not lost on me. After the concert I reminisced with my wife about seeing U2 live 30 years prior, as we walked "...Into the night And through the rain Into the half-light And through the flame..." Well...without the rain and flame, to be honest...because it was May...but you all get the gist :-)

The EP was packaged and released for the Christmas market in America.

Top 5 U2 songs ever! Great live version!

@mdf1671 Месяц назад

This one performance for me is U2 at their peak and has over the years become my absolute favourite of theirs. Larry guiding, Adam driving, Edge flying and Bono soaring.

@edengracetarot Год назад

This is by far my most played track, it's the best version of this song and really nails their magic, especially in that era

@MrBonemerrow Год назад

U2 loves their roadies! They get close ups in this vid!

@cloudstreets1396 2 года назад

I remember watching edge as a kid wondering how he makes those sounds with his guitar. It didn’t make any sense his hand movements vs. what was coming out. LOL. Then I learned what delay was. It’s still magic.

@jetman7946 Год назад

He amazes us with the sound variations he gets with those foot pedals in front of him on the floor. Bono pegged it early on when someone interviewing them asked about him and his stage moniker. Bono said he was always looking for new stuff/techniques, wanting to gain an "Edge" if you will !!!

@jbone-0-919 Год назад

Edge is so much more than a delay pedal. He use a specific plectrum and plays it the wrong way round to get his signature sound. He’s a wizard

@rikavalos 3 года назад

In my opinion., one of the best front man/lead singers in rock and roll history.

@RudeeOlivier 3 года назад

U2 is my oldest love in music. Bono's voice, Edge's great sound and guitar playing and the solid and original spine of the band with Larry and Adam who are always forgotten... Juts one of the best bands still active that never changed a band member and that was never afraid to take chances. I would love your input on our last video. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' : ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ufF4gUA_6rQ.html

Yeah that punk Rodger Waters called Bono I don't know what word to use when it's just ridiculous. Rodger Waters can't even stand his shadow.

My God, i hear this song since 1984, is amazing, hear this keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and lyrics like the first time.

There was nothing like that during those days. This is such an underrated drummer and a guitar player. WTF.

Fantastic..... just landed back in 1984 I was a very excited 18 year old we camped out for tickets for our 1st u2gig,loved this video when it was first released I'm back jumping around at the Edinburgh Playhouse 5.11.84 Thanks for the memories 😊

I bought this album "Wide Awake in America" at a CD shop while I'm on a business trip to the US. I love this video which captures stage staff. It brings me to the stage side even now.

Been playing this today. It strikes me every time, that old Dave can get more melody and music with two strings and a single repeat than I could muster in a lifetime 😂
