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.

  5. Me: Hey Bono!
    Bono: yeah
    Me: what are you gonna say when you look back 50 years, and it’s over.
    Bono: Fuck off, the best days are still ahead.

  9. What a beautiful video…U2 is really great…this album and especially this song marks the perfect transition between the post-punk and protest music of the Boy and War albums to the spiritualized music of the Joshua Tree era… the way was open for U2 to become the biggest band of the 80s…

  14. 11/29-1988 I hit rock bottom with hard drugs and alcohol, I always listened to this on my cassette player after heavy drinking nights (4 day binges) and at that time the music was beautiful to listen as the sun's came up… it's now 2022.. this is now played as I'm doing my artwork sipping coffee and remembering how bad it was at one time.. I mean a dark world and felt jacked up for all reasons to allow the drinking to continue. I was 25 back then, I am now 58 and never relapsed for any reason because I knew giving myself to God and awoke a sobered man.. I knew a great thing happened and it was a new life to follow. Worked my 12 steps, aa meetings, church, family. " if you cannot direct the winds, you can adjust your sails".. amen.

  28. This and their Live Aid performance of Bad, are just epic and so timeless. Watching them live is pretty much a religious experience. Awesome.

  32. This live version of this classic to me is the definitive version of this track, it has it all, it's truly emotionaly charged if you know what the song is about. And it's audio origin is 24 track analog tape, Not digital, which is why it sounds fucking awesome. it beats the living shit out of the album version all day every day.

  36. I was 19 and over at a friend's house. He was a spoiled brat. Played the drums. He had drums in his room and in his kitchen, both with color TV. I crashed on his couch the night before. I woke up and he was watching MTV . U2 was playing Sunday Bloody Sunday. I had heard them before, he hadn't. I said they were going to bring us back to real rock and roll
    He said they were a flash in the pan. That was our first, last, and only date. 43 years later, I was right
    They are my Beatles, Elvis, Dylan. O will love them until I die.

  42. It’s a very emotional song,this version has got to me,because personally I’ve experienced the ravages of drugs in Dublin ,on hearing this live gig i cried practically wept uncontrollably especially with the impact of the drugs in Dublin Ireland,bleedin shit has wrecked my hometown

  45. 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.

  46. This brings back so many emotions of growing up, watching this on VHS constantly. Bono's passion just gets me every time, still does today, would love U2 to release this as a whole concert. One day hopefully.

  48. This was 38 years ago!!! I still get chills.

    When I was in college, a couple years early, a buddy who DJed at the university radio station, snuck their early release copy of Boy, back to our fraternity for the night. We had never heard of this bad; and never heard anything like them before. I remember learning they were only a year or two older than we were. We were up late recording copies of cassettes. A couple weeks later, “I Will Follow,” started getting radio play and the rest was history,

    I don’t consider myself a fanatic; heck, I haven’t even seen them in concert. But, holy cow, 40 plus years and still the same four guys from Ireland, still relevant, still making great music. Awesome!
