The official music video for Where The Streets Have No Name by U2.
An afternoon rooftop show above the Republic liquor store at 7th and Main was shut down by police as a result of the huge crowds that descended on downtown Los Angeles to see the band perform the opening track from The Joshua Tree album in March 1987 for this video by Meiert Avis.
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.
Were still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(Its all I can do).
The citys a flood, and our love turns to rust.
Were beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust.
Ill 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.
Were still building and burning down love
Burning down love.
And when I go there
I go there with you
(Its all I can do).
This is a re-upload of a video I made nearly 4 years ago, which was taken down some time ago. However, while the original video was only a top 30 countdown, I decided to go with 50 songs for this updated version.
My grandfather once told me that the 1960s were two different musical decades. The first half (approx. 1960-1963) drew a lot of similarities to the 1950s, with acts like Elvis Presley, Pat Boone, The Everly Brothers, and Connie Francis remaining popular. As most of us know, this all rapidly changed in the mid 60s with the British Invasion. The United States intervention in the Vietnam War saw a counterculture movement spread across the US and the UK. Suddenly there was a burst of color and psychedelia across the world, changing the music scene forever. To quote TsorT (my source for the song list) «By the end of the decade music was a major industry.»
