U2 Throw Themselves A Parade, Give New Yorkers A Free Show

Band shoots clip for 'All Because of You' on a moving flatbed truck.

By James Montgomery (@positivnegativ)


NEW YORK — Parades through the heart of Manhattan are generally reserved for the New York Yankees, victorious troops and, well, giant Garfield balloons. But there they were: U2, on the back of a flatbed truck, led by a blaring police escort, cutting a path right down the middle of Broadway.


On Monday (November 22) the band took over the streets of New York to shoot a video for "All Because of You," the second single off their new How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. They performed the song over and over again as they made their way through the city's streets, cameras running, throngs of bewildered New Yorkers running alongside the truck, helicopters buzzing overhead.


Fans showed up by the thousands, standing on the broken Brooklyn streets, waiting for something, anything, to happen. As their numbers swelled, the excitement rose, until people were literally jumping up and down to music only they could hear. And when the security team finally allowed the masses inside, and a mad dash to the front of the stage began, it was all most fans could do to avoid being mashed against the metal barricades.

And then they waited. Fifteen minutes. Thirty minutes. Forty-five minutes passed. Seagulls swirled in the darkening skies and an army of news choppers whirred noisily overhead. Clearly, something was happening. But what? And when?

Then cheers erupted from the crowd. Most turned from the stage to see a helicopter filming something coming across the Manhattan Bridge. The flatbed truck slowly came into view, crossing over the East River into Brooklyn, and atop it were U2, just specks at the moment, still performing "All Because of You."

All Because Of You


U2


I was born a child of grace
Nothing else about the place
Everything was ugly but your beautiful face
And it left me no illusion

I saw you in the curve of the moon
In the shadow cast across my room
You heard me in my tune
When I just heard confusion

All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am, I am

I like the sound of my own voice
I didn't give anyone else a choice
An intellectual tortoise
Racing with your bullet train

Some people get squashed crossing the tracks
Some people got high rises on their backs
I'm not broke but you can see the cracks
You can make me perfect again

All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am, I am

I'm alive
I'm being born
I just arrived, I'm at the door
Of the place I started out from
And I want back inside

All because of you
All because of you
All because of you
I am

Memorable quotes for

The Next Voice You Hear... (1950)


Joe Smith, American: You remember what the voice said last night? That we should all do our homework for tomorrow? Well, let's take a look at the things that God told us to look at. Let's just see how great his miracles really are. There's the moon. The stars. It's the air we breathe. The earth we walk on. It's the trees. It's the hills. And it's things like loving each other. The way I love you and the way Mom loves us. It's all those wonderful things, Johnny. The way I love you and you love me, we got nothing to worry about. Nothing to be afraid of. And most of all, we must never be afraid of God. Because God is the whole world. We're living, Johnny. You and Mom and me. Mr. Brannan. All of us. We're living. So let's make it count.
