I try to fill the deep cracks in my heart by listening this song. Iam 23 now, remove the first 4 years of my life. Of the rest 19 years, I've been living lonely for 13 years. Even in my childhood i was very lonely. There was a girl, i liked her. But god had different plans. She passed away, leaving me alone. Later in life found another girl, she liked me but couldn't accept my proposal, because her family was very conservative. I don't see her anywhere now on social media. Both of them came like an angel and vanished in thin air. Never from then did i ever got a girl who loved me the same i loved her. Iam pure, but the world has too much impurity to love someone. When i feel sad, or wish to cry, i listen to this melody. 13 years of loneliness is too much for a man in his early 20s. I miss them sometimes. Why is my destiny written this way. Everytime its very hard to live. At some nights, i cry a lot. In the morning i realised i slept while crying. Maybe my good days are way too far. At the end you have to live with what you are given. But its very painful and hard. This melody cures that pain in me. Love to U2 ❤
Whoever you are wherever you might be I feel you and you're not alone, tomorrow is going to be different and you will find happiness and a beautiful soul just like yours to keep each other company... I wish you the best of everything 😊🌹
Please don't let the first years and hardships of your life stop you from living. I'm sorry for your losses, I believe that God has a wonderful plan for you and that the rest of your life is Blessed. Peace love hugs!
You are still very young, learn how to love yourself and someone will come eventually. You don't need to be saved from your lonelyness, you don't need any angel, just someone to be with you
My father and I We're both in the hospital. I'm his son and he didn't make it and I did. And When I made it through. I found out that my dad said to my family. I want to trade places with My son and when I came out of the hospital and I heard this. It really broke me down to tears and when I hear this song. I think about my dad I miss you love your son strength and Honor DRC
Not many people know, the producer of the album JOSHUA TREE asked to give up the song, problems in musical processing. Bono believed in the song and insisted on trying one last time to record. A producer played with keyboards trying to find the right line for the song, while age played with EBOW in another room, then magic happened. Combining EBOW with keyboards, this is how the line of a song was born, and it's all history. Clayton Bass LINE is as simple as a heartbeat, as only Clayton knows. Perfect song, Perfect production.
For my 50th birthday, I visited my friend in Palmdale California. She took me to see Joshua trees growing in the desert. I would appreciate it, even more, today.
I never get tired of listening this beautiful song of Bono (U2) 🎼🎵🎶🎸🎸🎸🎤🎧👍😘😘😘♥️♥️♥️ With or Without you, wowww, what a beautiful song, most of all, 11 minutes to hear 🎧 God bless U2, a million blessings 🙏🙏🙏
“You give yourself away” is such a deep expression, it describes perfectly the action of abandoning yourself in the act of being there for another person
This song is the lifeblood of my world. When I first heard the haunting four note bass I realized I had a purpose in life beyond just paying bills. Thank you U2!
Here is to the lost loves that did not understand that we could not live without them... but also chose that we should not live with them... those loves that still visit our dreams from time to time.
This song seeps into your soul, everything about it is just perfect, Its like it has its own DNA that merges with yours and takes you away to somewhere magical. I get goosebumps whenever I hear it.
Speaking of DNA, I found out that I am 25.3 percent Irish; Scottish, and Wales. I even knew this since age 6.! My dad was in denial; even on his death bed. But, I confirmed the facts.... No wonder I liked U2 and The Cranberries!
My deepest condolences. That makes me very sad. For your sweet daughter. And likewise for you. Her mother. For sure. She will miss you, too. I wish you all the best. Angel Annette.

me too.... U2 was rock's hottest ticket... but since 2001, the rock is done, and their liberal agenda has taken over - U2 from 1983 War to 1991 Achtung Baby was unstoppable....
When I first saw the video for Unforgettable Fire and then saw Live Aid on TV, I was not really into U2, but there was something about them I couldn't quite figure out. A year or two later, I grew up a bit more, I was 15 or 16, and then I had that moment of "knowing" that I could not shake. Their music is truly the soundtrack to my life - every, single, album. Especially JT.
It is such a perfect song. I know there’s no such thing as perfection but if there was it would be this song. It’s my number 1 fave song ever. Of all the songs I’ve ever listened to, none of them come close to this one.
The thing I love about U2 is their penchant for minimalism. That's The Edge sonically . He's said he's a painter, someone who paints the right notes. For me this song is the final sequence. Just incredible.
This song will go on forever... it is just one of thee ones that do that.. it has that ,.... um... oh, its on the tip of my tongue!!?? All i Do Know 4 Sure!? With Or Without!? DEFINITELY ! WITH! Like a Few more of there other songs... something about something!! that is 4 SURE!! & The Simplicity of it !! Brilliant!! Thank u!! JoJo/JJ
Protestant & Catholic. That's what i remember. They came along not long after Bobby Sands...hell followed. Their music was cathartic, an equanimity in a storm of hate. Luv 'em. OBTW...Joshua Tree is still my all-time favorite album...with Back in Black 2nd.
They said the things that needed to be said, not just the nation but the souls behind the nation. They are the soundtrack to my life and I feel very privileged to be able to say that.
See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I'll wait for you Sleight of hand and twist of fate On a bed of nails, she makes me wait And I wait without you With or without you With or without you Through the storm, we reach the shore You give it all but I want more And I'm waiting for you With or without you With or without you, ah, ah I can't live With or without you And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away My hands are tied My body bruised, she got me with Nothing to win and Nothing left to lose And you give yourself away And you give yourself away And you give And you give And you give yourself away With or without you With or without you, oh I can't live With or without you Oh, oh Oh, oh With or without you With or without you, oh I can't live With or without you With or without you
From 1987 I remember listen this whole album in my oncle's car going to the beach and he explained me a few things of the group and I just listened...now in my 44 years U2 has been the soundtrack of my life and my favourite band. My feelings with their songs are undescribing, love them. The best band ever.
Great to hear your story. I found U2 recently actually I found it from the famous Sitcom Friends (which I watched in pandemic) and there’s U2 song in it and from there I search and start listening U2. From that time they have became my fav artist. Have a great life
Rising gradually, like the sun, waking slowly, then movement, a little faster, a little louder, then finally, exploding into full expression and resolution.
Das war das Lied von meinem Freund damals ... Er ist jetzt leider schon 15 Jahre tot ...aber dieses Lied schafft es ab der ersten Sekunde und dem ersten Ton ...dass er sofort ganz nah wieder bei mir ist ... Egal wieviel Zeit auch vergeht ... Das schafft nur so besondere Musik ! ❤
I 1st heard this song while at work with my bro. He has followed U2 from their beginning. He ran to me and gave me his headphones and said "You gotta listen to this." Since then 3 concerts and ultimate respect
Descubrí por casualidad está versión larga. No sabía que existiera. Cuando mi hija era pequeña, le enseñaba los acordes del comienzo en un piano de juguete. Y sonaba bien. Maite preparó con esta canción un vídeo de despedida cuando me jubilé. Es una gozada la parte instrumental que no conocía. Posiblemente la mejor canción compuesta desde la separación de The Beatles en 1970. Inmortal.
The band that faithfully accompanied my youth and my life until today. A delight to listen to this extended version of "With or without you", belonging to that jewel of an album called The Joshua Tree. A special mention for another song from the album called Exit, the one that every time I listen to it I like it even more especially if it is the live version of the movie Rattle and Hum with the inclusion of a fragment of Gloria by Van Morrison, an exultation to the soul.
This song and Bad really hit me to the heart, the memories that unfold when I'm listening, are just that....memories of another life and time, and a girl that I love was taken from me too early in life, the mountains hold my memories now, so I listen to U2 from a mountain top, watching the sun fade away and then watch summer stars shine down on me, hoping that her spirit will guide me.
What an incredible piece of art perfectly performed by U2 one of the greatest bands ever made creating always great songs and makes always good music and definitely changed the music history and scene forever only for the best way......!!!!!!!!!
I always thought that the Joshua Tree 🌳 version faded out without hearing the band let rip this amazing piece of work remedies that👍absolute classic from in my humble opinion one of the finest bands ever.
The first time I heard this song,it was with my boyfriend, and now my husband, we were on our way up to the smoky mountains in Tennessee. This has become our song, it still makes me cry and brings that memory back,it was such a magical moment in my life.I love him so much
One of my personal favorites from the lads. Many of us African Americans love U2. Deep, honest, relevant lyrics, and first rate musicianship.# The best.
I’m only 19 years old and I discovered this song this year after losing the first person I loved. This song helped me cry and eventually move on and it’s become my favourite ever since I discovered it.
@@andrejissitt1635 sorry for your loss brother... Music can help deal with greatest of pains.. more power to you for dealing with your loss at such a young age. Keep going.
FFS people. Give this guy or girl a break. They like U2, we like U2. They obviously wanted to try something out with a song we all love. U2's music isn't something sacred that can't be touched. It's not like they did a Pet Shop Boys & destroyed it! Fair play to the creator. It's not for me, but each to their own.
Been my favorite song for 33 straight years, but never heard this particular version, which is so extra ethereal and lovely. Such a treat, thank you for posting!
What??? Continue enjoying this great song Wesley with any and every version that suits you! 1st time I’ve heard this version as well & can’t stop playing it over & over. There are very few bands that can get me to do that! Esp.w/out getting bored or sick of it, it’d have to be a 🎵 that’s part of my life’s soundtrack. Now we’ve got this studio version that is ever so sweetly mixed & engineered!! 🙏🏼 U2 &🏴MTV!!
I love when someone puts adds right in the middle of one of the greatest songs in history. I hope that I get to see these guys in Vegas,I remember having front row for them in the early 80's at Jack Murphy stadium in San Diego. And they canceled, even had a very beautiful senior eta to go with me. Everything happens for a reason.
Un clásico que estremece el baúl de los recuerdos, de la infancia o juventud donde toca el corazón, que tantos años han pasado y que forman parte de nuestras vidas. Grandes intérpretes que nos siguen deleitando a través del tiempo, por su entrega y dedicación todas estas generaciones de artistas son un legado que permanecerán por siempre.
51 years old..and alas I can say..I have found exactly what I was looking for. I just had to stop looking with two eyes and look with one. I saw everything one can see & what one couldn't see.. My friend..close yours eyes, drift into the eye of understanding watching it explain in speachless glory everything you have sought. Let the music do its medicine.Its good for your soul.
