DoYouRemember?

U2 is one of my all time favorite bands and 'The Joshua Tree' is a pretty terrific album that was released 30 years ago (March 9, 1987)... So what better way to celebrate and honor U2, then to share the album, lyrics and videos with you? The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 is an upcoming worldwide concert tour, staged to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the band's 1987 album, The Joshua Tree. The tour will visit stadiums in 2017 across two legs: North America from May to July, and Europe from July to August. The band intends to play The Joshua Tree in its entirety on each date of the tour, including the first live performance of the song "Red Hill Mining Town". It is the first time the group is touring in promotion of an album from their back catalogue, rather than a new release. (SONG TITLE, VIDEO, LYRICS): Where The Streets Have No Name I wanna run, I want to hide I wanna tear down the walls That hold me inside. I wanna reach out And touch the flame Where the streets have no name. I wanna feel sunlight on my face. I see the dust-cloud Disappear without a trace. I wanna take shelter From the poison rain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name. We're still building and burning down love Burning down love. And when I go there I go there with you (It's all I can do). The city's a flood, and our love turns to rust. We're beaten and blown by the wind Trampled in dust. I'll show you a place High on a desert plain Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name Where the streets have no name. We're still building and burning down love Burning down love. And when I go there I go there with you (It's all I can do). I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For I have climbed the highest mountains I have run through the fields Only to be with you Only to be with you I have run I have crawled I have scaled these city walls These city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in the fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was one empty night I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for I believe when the Kingdom comes Then all the colors will bleed into one Bleed into one But yes I'm still running. You broke the bonds You loosened the chains You carried the cross Of my shame Of my shame You know I believed it But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for With Or Without You See the stone set in your eyes See the thorn twist in your side I 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 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's 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 I can't live With or without you Oh With or without you With or without you I can't live With or without you With or without you Bullet The Blue Sky (Live In Paris) In the howling wind comes a stinging rain See it driving nails Into the souls on the tree of pain From the firefly, a red orange glow See the face of fear Running scared in the valley below Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum Jacob wrestled the angel And the angel was overcome You plant a demon seed You raise a flower of fire See them burning crosses See the flames higher and higher Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue This guy comes up to me His face red like a rose in a thorn bush Like all the colors of a royal flush And he's peeling off those dollar bills Slapping them down One hundred, two hundred And I can see those fighter planes And I can see those fighter planes Across the mud huts where the children sleep Through the alleys of a quiet city street You take the staircase to the first floor Turn the key and slowly unlock the door As a man breathes into a saxophone And through the walls you hear the city groan Outside is America Outside is America, America Across the field you see the sky ripped open See the rain through a gaping wound Pounding on the women and children Who run Into the arms Of America Running To Stand Still And so she woke up Woke up from where she was Lying still Said I gotta do something About where we're going Step on a steam train Step out of the driving rain, maybe Run from the darkness in the night Singing ha, ah la la la de day Ah da da da de day Ah la la de day Sweet the sin Bitter than taste in my mouth I see seven towers But I only see one way out You got to cry without weeping Talk without speaking Scream without raising your voice You know I took the poison From the poison stream Then I floated out of here Singing ha la la la de day Ha la la la de day Ha la la de day She runs through the streets With eyes painted red Under a black belly of cloud in the rain In through a doorway she brings me White gold and pearls stolen from the sea She is raging She is raging And the storm blows up in her eyes She will Suffer the needle chill She's running to stand Still Red Hill Mining Town From father to son The blood runs thin See faces frozen still Against the wind The seam is split The coal face cracked The lines are long There's no going back Through hands of steel And heart of stone Our labor day Has come and gone Yeah you leave me holding on In Red Hill town See lights go down, I'm Hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to The glass is cut The bottle run dry Our love runs cold In the caverns of the night We're wounded by fear Injured in doubt I can lose myself You I can't live without Yeah you keep me holding on In Red Hill town See the lights go down on I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting Hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to, on to We'll scorch the earth Set fire to the sky We stoop so low, to reach so high A link is lost The chain undone We wait all day For night to come And it comes Like a hunter child I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to I'm still waiting I'm hanging on You're all that's left to hold on to Love, slowly stripped away Love, has seen its better day Hanging on The lights go out on Red Hill The lights go down on Red Hill Lights go down on Red Hill town The lights go down on Red Hill In God's Country Yeah Desert sky Dream beneath a desert sky The rivers run but soon run dry We need new dreams tonight Desert rose Dreamed I saw a desert rose Dress torn in ribbons and in bows Like a siren she calls to me Sleep comes like a drug In God's country Sad eyes, crooked crosses In God's country Set me alight We'll punch a hole right through the night Everyday the dreamers die See what's on the other side She is liberty And she comes to rescue me Hope, faith, her vanity The greatest gift is gold Sleep comes like a drug In God's country Sad eyes, crooked crosses In God's country Naked flame She stands with a naked flame I stand with the sons of Cain Burned by the fire of love Burned by the fire of love Trip Through Your Wires (Paris Live) In the distance She saw me coming 'round I was calling out I was calling out Still shaking Still in pain You put me back together again I was cold and you clothed me honey I was down and you lifted me honey Angel Angel or devil I was thirsty And you wet my lips You, I'm waiting for you You, you set my desire I trip through your wires I was broken, bent out of shape I was naked in the clothes you made Lips were dry, throat like rust You gave me shelter from the heat and the dust No more water in the well No more water, water Angel Angel or devil I was thirsty And you wet my lips You, I'm waiting for you You, you set my desire I trip through your wires Thunder, thunder on the mountain There's a rain cloud in the desert sky In the distance she saw me coming 'round I was calling out I was calling out One Tree Hill We turn away to face the cold, enduring chill As the day begs the night for mercy love The sun so bright it leaves no shadows Only scars carved into stone On the face of earth The moon is up and over One Tree Hill We see the sun go down in your eyes You run like river, on like a sea You run like a river runs to the sea And in the world a heart of darkness A fire zone Where poets speak their heart Then bleed for it Jara sang, his song a weapon In the hands of love You know his blood still cries From the ground It runs like a river runs to the sea It runs like a river to the sea I don't believe in painted roses Or bleeding hearts While bullets rape the night of the merciful I'll see you again When the stars fall from the sky And the moon has turned red Over One Tree Hill We run like a river Run to the sea We run like a river to the sea And when it's raining Raining hard That's when the rain will Break my heart Raining, raining in the heart Raining in your heart Raining, raining to your heart Raining, raining, raining Raining to your heart Raining, raining in your heart Raining in your heart To the sea Oh great ocean Oh great sea Run to the ocean Run to the sea EXIT You know he got the cure But then he went astray He used to stay awake To drive the dreams he had away. He wanted to believe In the hands of love. His head it felt heavy As he came across the land A dog started cryin' Like a broken-hearted man At the howling wind At the howling wind. He went deeper into black Deeper into white. He could see the stars shine Like nails in the night. He felt the healing Healing, healing, healing hands of love Like the stars shiny, shiny from above. A hand in the pocket Fingering the steel The pistol weighed heavy And his heart he could feel was beating Beating, beating, beating, Oh my love, oh my love Oh my love, oh my love. So hands that build Can also pull down The hands of love. Mothers Of The Disappeared Midnight, our sons and daughters Cut down, taken from us Hear their heartbeat We hear their heartbeat In the wind we hear their laughter In the rain we see their tears Hear their heartbeat We hear their heartbeat Night hangs like a prisoner Stretched over black and blue Hear their heartbeat We hear their heartbeat In the trees our sons stand naked Through the walls our daughters cry See their tears in the rainfall 10 THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT 'THE JOSHUA TREE' REVIEW OF 'THE JOSHUA TREE' Sources: Rolling Stone and Wikipedia
