Video hit U2

U2 - I Still Haven't Found What Im Looking For (Live From Milano)

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is a song by the Irish rock band U2.

It is the second track from their 1987 album The Joshua Tree and was released as the album's second single in May 1987.

The song was a hit, becoming the band's second consecutive number-one single on the US Billboard Hot 100 while peaking at number six on the UK Singles Chart.

The song originated from a demo the band recorded on which drummer Larry Mullen, Jr. played a unique rhythm pattern.

Like much of The Joshua Tree, the song was inspired by the group's interest in American music. "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" exhibits influences from gospel music and its lyrics describe spiritual yearning. Lead vocalist Bono's vocals are in high register and guitarist The Edge plays a chiming arpeggio. Adding to the gospel qualities of the song are choir-like backing vocals provided by The Edge and producers Brian Eno and Daniel Lanois.

"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" was critically acclaimed and received two nominations at the 30th Grammy Awards in 1988, for Record of the Year and Song of the Year.

It has subsequently become one of the group's most well-known songs and has been performed on many of their concert tours.

The track has appeared on several of their compilations and concert films.

Many critics and publications have ranked "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" among the greatest tracks in music history.

The lyrics:

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 her finger tips

It burned like fire

(I was)

Burning desire

I have spoken with the tongue of angels

I have held the hand of a devil

It was warm in the 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 in the Kingdom Come

Then all the colors will bleed into one

Bleed into one

But, yes, I'm still running

You broke the bonds

And you loosed the chains

Carried the cross of my shame

Oh, my shame, you know I believe 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
