Agree it’s absolutely timeless Ye can’t put a time limit on heartbreak only lyrics like these It’s a stunning song lyrically matched by the rhythm and timing of the music I can never understand how this wasn’t a massive hit but I suppose it wasn’t meant to be as it was so personal Between the horses of love and luiuuuuust we are trampled underfoot Magestic 👏👏what a delivery
One of U2's finest masterpieces. I can't begin to imagine how a piece like this is even born. How does it happen? How do 4 young men sit in a room, fully understand the goal, and pull this off?
Bono's delivery of the 'cruel' word, in this song (yes, both live and in studio) is textbook brilliant. I guess it's a two-syllable word, but he stretches it out ever so-painful (vocally). I do like that.
Tre ryan?Did you hearded this fantastic song in a concert from U2?Even in 1992?I don't think's so.Because this song from U2 is never played in live....I Had never hearded this song in Live.Never.Even In London....In 1992.....
So Congratulation for You.Because in 1992 you have probably seen ONE of The best Show From U2....With SO Cruel In Live....Houah!!!! I don't believe it!!!! So Cruel in LIVE?
I honestly think this is one of the finest songs ever written:for anyone who as truly been in love and lost that love 💕 this heart wrenching song just tears that fickle heart to shreds 😢
I can feel it too, and it doesn't help that we live in a dead end society, with no rhyme or reason. Like a drying puddle in the desert, we too will once again return these borrowed vessel's to mother earth and live on. But until then😢😢😢
Paul Hewson has, is, and will always be one of the greatest lyric writers ever known to mankind.. He is a modern day poet of the highest order!!! A genius!!
I like his voice more than his lyrics personally. That and his scumbag personality that talks to much about nonsense and funds offshore companies that harm and even murder people. However look into that one yourself, don't take my word for it. speaking of lyrics though Lennon & McCartney are my fave. ✌
We crossed the line Who pushed who over? It doesn't matter to you It matters to me We're cut adrift We're still floating I'm only hanging on To watch you go down My love I disappeared in you You disappeared from me I gave you everything you ever wanted It wasn't what you wanted The men who love you, you hate the most They pass through you like a ghost They look for you, but your spirit is in the air Baby, you're nowhere Oh love You say in love there are no rules Oh love Sweetheart You're so cruel Desperation is a tender trap It gets you every time You put your lips to her lips To stop the lie Her skin is pale like God's only dove Screams like an angel for your love Then she makes you watch her from above And you need her like a drug Oh love You say in love there are no rules Oh love Sweetheart, You're so cruel She wears my love like a see-through dress Her lips say one thing Her movements something else Oh love, like a screaming flower Love, dying every hour, love You don't know if it's fear or desire Danger the drug that takes you higher Head in heaven, fingers in the mire Her heart is racing, you can't keep up The night is bleeding like a cut Between the horses of love and lust We are trampled Underfoot Oh love You say in love there are no rules Oh love Sweetheart, You're so cruel Oh love To stay with you I'd be a fool Oh, huhh Sweetheart You're so cruel
Then came Bono who reminds us that some day the clouds will part, the earth shake.....and a hand will reach down and heal all hearts...until then...thank you God for BONO!!! :~)
Dave Gahan/Depeche Mode were asked by Bono to make a cover version of this for charity. DM's arrangement is outstanding, and Dave's voice is awesome. He has really made it his own and sings it with such conviction and emotion anybody would think that Bono had copied DM's version! I urge all U2 fans to take the plunge and check it out, you will love it!!
Never cared much for U2 but I'd be foolish if I didn't recognize Bono's ability to write a great song and this here is one. Delicately crafted the set up and at 3:29 we know he's become resigned to the end. First heard it eight years after the 'girl it was written for' had walked away and I think of it every time the next one leaves. A much, much better version of She's Always A Woman and my favorite song ever by them. Tear in my eye I guess...
I think songs 3 through 6 of Achtung Baby (One, The End of the World, Who's Gonna Ride your Wild Horses, and So Cruel) are the best four songs in a row ever put to record, even better than side two of Led Zeppelin IV...and that's saying a LOT.
A song about a beautiful woman who is selfish with it, and knows she can pick up and drop anyone she wants. You're her latest item and unfortunately you're deeply in love with her. Unfortunately? Because you don't know when she'll drop you, leaving you heartbroken.
"She wears my love like a see through dress" Bitter Sweet Symphony by The Verve (Cruel Intentions) - ps - excellent job with this compilation, awesomenessk
