It is fun to look back...click the video tab above to watch U2's New Year's Day video.
New Year’s Day is the third song and lead single from U2’s 1983 album, War. The song is driven by Adam Clayton’s distinctive bassline and The Edge’s keyboard. It was the band’s first hit single, breaking the top ten in the UK, peaking at #10 on the singles chart, and charting on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in their career. In 2004, Rolling Stone magazine placed the single at #427 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
The lyric had its origins in a love song from Bono to his wife, but then was reshaped and inspired by the Polish Solidarity movement.
