This song has helped me get through so many rough times, particularly when I was on the verge of suicide.... it is more powerful to know that he wrote this in a place of despair for his friend who he lost to suicide.. the lyrics come from a real place.
+geishagirl257 I just learned this fact; that was cool of Bono, and I'm a fan of both Michael Hutchence and INXS ("Sometimes you kick, sometimes you get kicked").
+Gatineau Sparks keep being strong live your life enjoy the life no matter what, you have the mother nature by your side and the music and yourself remember you are never alone the energy flows big hugs .
Ognuno salva se stesso ha scritto qualcuno... invece è vero che se la forza in se stessi non si trova si può arrivare a farsi del male nella più totale indifferenza. chissà se qualcuno si era accorto della tua sofferenza, Alessandro...a distanza di anni essermi trovata a pochi metri da te, senza riuscire a fare nulla fa ancora male.
+beautiful.chaos For me, the first time I heard the song on the radio was when I was travelling to the hospital with my mother for her to have chemotherapy treatment! She died a few months later. This song always brings back memories of that time for me. It's a very beautiful song.
if people around the world had good taste in music ,this video would have AT LEAST 100 million views.one of my favorite songs,a song with deep meaning that almost makes me cry.nowadays most songs are pure trash.Greetings from Greece to all you people out there who still listen to great music like this U2 song.
Agreed 100% to all of their songs, U2 has got to be the one band that has not made a bad song, Biggest band of their time and they still should be the biggest, I don't understand how all these 1 hit wonders with one song get so famous but the rest of the songs suck, Well at least us all who have heard u2 have them in our lives and that's good enough for me Greetings from america
I totally agree. I can't stand this crap pop nowadays, but U2 remains timeless and this song does make me cry. I was a junkie for a long time and listened to it to keep going and not give up (life, not the drugs). I finally did give up the drugs, and my life is so much better, but if I am in the need of some musical inspiration, it is this song that I put on.
"YOU'RE SUCH A FOOL TO WORRY LIKE YOU DO" Often it is when your "getting out of it" that you actually appreciate this knowledge of being stuck sometimes! U2 are some of the only poets left tu us
I have been listening to U2 ever since i was eight years old, when my brother introduced me to them. I havent stopped listening to them ever since, and this song is still one of my favorites at the age of 16.
I so remember when this song came out it was around the time of 9/11 and it hit home for me. I lost my Fiancée that day she was in the North Tower and I have been lost in that day and time for quite a while. I guess you can say I still am.
+joshua tift Loss is the first lesson we are all taught to live with, to live with great loss and overcome it is to be a beacon for the fallen, your calling in life to save others who have suffered similar loss,, some of us are put in to this life to suffer such things so we can go forwards,, carrying all of that pain, so we can live another life, through those we loved so much, maybe to much, but we are who they made us to be, and the journey we are now on will bring us together again one day, when the job we are tasked with is done in this life, its this thought that keeps me going, keeps me living, breathing...
This is such an inspirational song. I listened to it many nights in my addiction crying, now I'm going to be a drug and alcohol counselor but I still love this as inspiration. I love BONO!!! U2 is always going to be one of the best bands EVER!!!!
These guys get so much shit, especially bono being called 'pompous' & 'self-important', but what other fucking band makes you feel like they 'have your back' more? It's like going to church listening to these guys. I felt fucking awful, destroying myself, and then i put this on, and my mind & heart is cleansed.
Fucking oath. You've nailed it, they get so much hate for being too "political" yet for me I feel like, in a weird way, their music is always there for me like an old friend. Haters can go fuck themselves, U2 is the greatest band IMO
My older sister passed away in 2013. Since then, I've been stuck in a fog. I don't hang out with my friends anymore, and all I do is go to school and read a lot. This song is helping me. I know now that I have to get out there, reconnect with my friends, and finally be my age (19). I'm not a kid anymore. And my sister would want me to be successful, and happy.
sarahiszename im sorry about your sis, but you now have a guardian angel and you have to live life for both you. She wouldnt want you to let it slip away or waste it away because of her. She is around you, all you have to do is pay attention. if you want to read something that will make "sense" Many Lives Many Master by Dr Brian Weiss helped me. Good Luck
I am so sorry for your loss. May the Lord's angels fold their wings around you, and give you peace, and may the Lord Himself show you His love, and give you a reason to carry on.
My late mum turned me onto this song!!!! I got fired from my job yesterday and I cried myself to this song....I felt like ending my life yesterday....this song saved me from jumping in front of a truck and ending everything!! Ty mummy and #U2!!! This tooo will pass!!!
technically, the moment you're referring to IS passed. "Moment" is itself always present but any specific moment you are referring to is in the past as you reference it. :-)
This is the first song that I loved in my life and remains the favorite of all to me. I love it since the age of 7, when I listened to it in my mom's Walkmen. This song has supported me in so many tough times.
Written in honour of the frontman of INXS ( Michael ) that died in 1997 ! I got a book of the personnal stuff and memories of Bono where he says that he got such annoyed with his suicide and terrible made with Michael that it took him 3 years to write a song about it ! He dedicated the song to Michael`s girl at that time ( Paula Yates ) and in memoir of Michael ( he was one of his best friends )
I was only 9 when 9/11 happened but I remember hearing this song constantly after. takes my head to a weird vulnerable feeling of being 9 years old and not understanding whats going on but feeling so sad . crazy how music can do that to you
I'm a longtime U2 fan (since War in '83) who was lukewarm about this song when it first came out. But now I'm truly in love with it, I think it's one of their Masterpiece songs.
Such a beautiful and powerful song, nearly brings tears to my eyes every time I listen to it. Although it is written for someone special in a special context, anyone who ever had a tough time or very bad moment in his life can perfectly relate to it. I also was way too often stuck in a moment I couldn't get out of - but it's just a moment, the time will pass.
My English teacher (I’m French) in highschool played us that song the day one of our classmate committed suicide. We went through the lyrics and everthing, this was such a sad and deep moment. But the song is indeed beautiful!
I'm not afraid of anything in this world there's nothing you can throw at me that i haven't already heard i'm just trying to find a decent melody a song that i can sing in my own company i never thought you were a fool but darling, look at you you gotta stand up straight, carry your own weight these tears are going nowhere, baby You've got to get yourself together you've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it I will not forsake, the colours that you bring but the nights you filled with fireworks they left you with nothing i am still enchanted by the light you brought to me i still listen through your ears, and through your eyes i can see And you are such a fool to worry like you do i know it's tough, and you can never get enough of what you don't really need now... my oh my You've got to get yourself together you've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it oh love look at you now you've got yourself stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it I was unconscious, half asleep the water is warm till you discover how deep... i wasn't jumping... for me it was a fall it's a long way down to nothing at all You've got to get yourself together you've got stuck in a moment and now you can't get out of it don't say that later will be better now you're stuck in a moment and you can't get out of it And if the night runs over and if the day won't last and if our way should falter along the stony pass And if the night runs over and if the day won't last and if your way should falter along the stony pass it's just a moment this time will pass
I was stuck in that moment one night in Limerick when standing at the edge of the quay I had decided I had enough .Having said an act of contrition I was ready to go to meet my maker when a voice out of the darkness said Bud if you are thinking of going in I aint going in after you. The moment passed it was enough to save me.
+peter smyth .... Wise words from the worlds greatest living counciller. With such poetic advice as that, who needs hope? - Idiot! The point of Garry's story was that he carried on, or to coin U2's phrase "got out of it". Regardless of that, things aren't always that straightforward for people. That's neither a weakness, nor strength, it is just that different things effect different people in different ways. I might have got this wrong however, you may of course have been trying to respond to Garry with a witty and light-hearted remark. If this is so; please, please, please NEVER turn your hand to comedy of any kind.
Garry Carroll dont let the shadow take ypu fight the shadows get out the shadows the world ends get out the shadows today the world no one saw get out of the shadows beforw your world ends too shadows dark shadows the are in the corners of the streets. Awaken higher conscience
This song makes me think of my mentally ill, homeless brother. Always hoping he can find a way to rise, and stay, up. "And if your way should falter"....sobbing.
Back to my childhood days is what i remember>>>>>>>>>>>>...........Don't say that later will be better, 'cos childhood was much much better than how old i am now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
Although the song brings back sad memories for me I think it's a really beautiful song. One of U2's best and I prefer this video version so much more than the American Football one. This video fits the song so much more.
And if, and if the night runs over And if the day won't last And if your way should falter Along this stony pass... It's just a moment This time WILL PASS
My brother committed suicide n xmas day several years ago . After he died this song was my song to him. It wasnt till I just recently read all your comments. I actually realized this song was about suicide. Gave me goosebumps. But also meaning. Thanks. RIP Stephen Houlihan xxx
Esta canción es la única que me esta ayudando en sobrellevar el difícil momento que estoy pasando, mi novio me acaba de dejar después de 4 años de relación, y estoy al borde del colapso. La única compañía en mis momentos de soledad es este tema musical, escribo esto con lágrimas en mis mejillas, preguntándome, porque las personas son tan frías y calculadoras, porque a pesar de que le di todo se fue sin decir mas. Trato de mantener la esperanza intacta pero me es muy difícil y muy duro, espero que que la verdadera persona que me ame este ahí afuera, ya que el único sentimiento que tengo es un vacío y un dolor en mi corazón, siento que estoy atascado en esta situación de la que no puedo salir, pero como dice la canción "WILL PASS". Gracias U2 por darme las esperanzas que necesito para seguir adelante.
Disculpa antes de que creas que las personas son frías y ese amor que se fue ya lo hizo, te aseguro que dio alguna señal y mas de una siempre debemos estar atentas yo tengo 13 años de relación y eso de lo que estoy siempre atenta ve a dios pídele y te dará fuerzas 😇,animo. Pasara
Es dificil recuperarse despues de una ruptura, pero Sabes que todo pasa Nada es para siempre. Algunas personas a veces no son sinceras aun despues de conocerlos años, pero te daras cuenta despues es lo mejor que te pudo pasar , veras que luego conoceras gente hermosa, que lo de todo, que te haga sentir que eres completo. Asi que animo!
Oiii querido! Pense que talvez isso seja parte de uma transformação em sua vida! Deixe a espiritualidade transformar o que não estava dando mais certo e confie que o novo chegará em sua vida.... A vida sempre te transforma 🙏 Keep Strong 🙌🙏💪
I lost my father to suicide 18 years ago and not a day goes by where I don't think about him. Every time I hear this song I can't help but think of him because it always has seemed to me that he got stuck in that moment and wasn't thinking clearly. He was the last person on earth that i thought would be capable to of doing that. It's a long way down to nothing at all.
my father died in natural causes he will never commit suicide forgive me god to say that as i am only his son, but he created or the world a human like me suicidal started they said even before the time of my birth. in surviving years i seldom visit his grave but whenever i do ,there seems a message that i should take it easy and enjoy life or love myself.it was him as i never learn from him when he was still alive but his love pours in his death on how he live his life full and free all the things he enjoy when his only son ptsd.anxiety.depression panic. fear he never have one of those.but i knew his life on earth was a cure at least whenever i visited him
My friend who passed loved u2 This song reminds me of getting up when im so low that her eyes cross my chest over with that smile she always had. Sometimes the pressure builds up in my shoulders so hard and heavy i want to explote and then that smile and then this song. I love you so much Flor. Miss you every day ❤️
