U2 - You’re The Best Thing About Me (Official Video)

The official music video for You’re The Best Thing About Me by U2. The video, directed by Jonas Åkerlund, sees the members of U2 revelling in the sights and sounds of New York City, where as a young Dublin band they played their first U.S. club gig in December 1980 beginning a love affair with the city which has endured for almost 40 years. Shot in 2017 while the band were on tour and featuring U2 in performance, the video is a fitting backdrop for You’re The Best Thing About Me – Bono’s love letter to his wife Ali – and serves as a visual tapestry of tribute to New York and a serenade to the city’s iconic symbols of American compassion and liberty.

You’re the best thing about me The best thing that ever happened a boy You’re the best thing about me I’m the kind of trouble that you enjoy You’re the best thing about me The best things are easy to destroy You’re the best thing about me The best thing about me I’ve been crying out How bad can a good time be Shooting off my mouth That’s another great thing about me I have everything but I feel like nothing at all There’s no risky thing for a man who’s determined to fall You’re the best thing about me The best thing that ever happened a boy You’re the best thing about me I’m the kind of trouble that you enjoy You’re the best thing about me The best things are easy to destroy You’re the best thing about me Why am I Why am I walking away Why am I walking away? I can see it all so clearly I can see what you can’t see I can see you love her loudly When she needs you quietly You’re the best thing about me The best things are easy to destroy You’re the best thing about me Why am I Why am I walking away (walking away) Why am I walking away?
