U2's music had often been spiritual, but never did Bono's lyrics more poignantly capture the human capacity for yearning and the suffering that invariably requires than in this popular but also flawless acoustic ballad. This song was where it all began for U2 on a number of levels, especially with the evolution of the unique guitar sound produced by the Edge. I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For, Where The Streets Have No Name - The Joshua Tree, I Still Havent Found What Im Looking For (The Joshua Tree), The Unforgettable Fire - The Unforgettable Fire. Larry Mullen Jr. joue de la batterie depuis l'enfance et décide à l'automne 1976 de placarder une annonce sur les murs de son lycée afin de former un groupe. Also, Bono's vocal performance has rarely been this iconic and passionate, even though it's difficult to argue that he's anything but a very high-percentage vocalist.

Musically, the song takes atmospherics to a new level as Adam Clayton's simple but powerfully memorable bass line sets a deliberate tone that allows plenty of room for the Edge's sonic textures to provide welcome accents. Beautifully evocative and transcendent, the track provides a brilliant bridge between U2 the slightly underground heroes and the huge pop stars that would soon enter the '90s. Le 17 mars 1978, les cinq Irlandais célèbrent la Saint-Patrick en remportant 500 livres sterling ainsi qu'une séance d'enregistrement aux Keystone Studios de Dublin. If "Pride" showed U2's ability to craft an exemplary, tight rock song, this majestic epic showed what the quartet could do with lots of room to stretch out, build tension and create delicate textures. Haunting melodic genius galore: "I'm hangin' on/You're all that's left to hold on to.". The impressive combination of popular and critical appeal that eventually defined U2 rivals any artist in rock history, and evidence of this rousing style can be found in the group's top '80s output. The forceful, compelling lead-off single from the band's 1980 debut, Boy, also introduced the bigger-than-life vocal and performance style of frontman Bono. In fact, this slight change of focus from the band's earlier alternative/modern rock niche probably helped The Joshua Tree strike such an overwhelming chord with American audiences, who had always loved U2 anyway. This song was justly unavoidable in 1987-1988, and because of it, U2 continues to represent a standard for high-quality pop music. 'Compilation records don't deserve the kind of welcome U2's 'Best of 80 to 90' received and of course it's not a qualitative thing, in our heads it was housekeeping, a bit of tidying up for the era conscious... you'd probably call it cleaning up which is eh... fair. The second, entitled 'The B-Sides', was a collection of 15 b-sides from the same era. The group consists of Bono (lead vocals and rhythm guitar), the Edge (lead guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen Jr. (drums and percussion). This nearly perfect rocker from 1984's represents an early pinnacle for U2's penchant for sweeping, politically charged anthems. The song's subject matter, the inspiring life and tragic death of Martin Luther King, undoubtedly holds massive appeal for Bono's humanitarian worldview, and the resulting song is sublime.

Rebaptisé The Hype au bout de quelque temps, le groupe s'inscrit à un concours de jeunes talents organisé par CBS Records. Ils donnent leur premier concert dans le gymnase de leur école sous le nom de Feedback. After the first week, the b-sides disc was deleted from the band's catalog.

This tune features one of the band's finest escalating melodies, rendered beautifully with the aid of the Edge's typical but never worn-out chiming guitar style. But there's also a tremendous amount of trailblazing innocence in the track, which undoubtedly had a tremendous impact on the shape of college rock to come throughout the decade.
