U2: I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight.

U2 are a rock band from Dublin, Ireland. The group consists of Bono (vocals and guitar), The Edge (guitar, keyboards and vocals), Adam Clayton (bass guitar), and Larry Mullen, Jr. (drums and percussion). The band formed at Mount Temple Comprehensive School in 1976 when the members were teenagers with limited musical proficiency. Within four years, they signed to Island Records and released their debut album Boy. By the mid-1980s, they had become a top international act. They were more successful as a live act than they were at selling records, until their 1987 album The Joshua Tree, which, according to Rolling Stone, elevated the band's stature "from heroes to superstars".

U2 have released 12 studio albums and are among the most critically and commercially successful groups in popular music. They have won 22 Grammy Awards, more than any other band, and they have sold more than 150 million records. In 2005, the band were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility. Rolling Stone magazine ranked U2 at number 22 in its list of the "100 Greatest Artists of All Time". Throughout their career, as a band and as individuals, they have campaigned for human rights and philanthropic causes, including Amnesty International, the ONE/DATA campaigns, Product Red, and The Edge's Music Rising.

I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight

"I'll Go Crazy If I Don't Go Crazy Tonight" is the fifth song from U2's 2009 album "No Line on the Horizon".

The first music video received its world premiere on 17 July 2009 through U2's YouTube channel. Directed by David O'Reilly and designed by Jon Klassen, it is the band's first animated music video since 1995's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me", and is one of the few not to feature the band. It depicts several people in a city undergoing hardships, and the events that interconnect them and bring them happiness as they decide to make changes in their lives.

The second music video was directed by Alex Courtes and produced by Malachy Mcanenny. While the O'Reilly video plays over the studio version of the song, the Courtes version is the single edit. It consists of a live performance taken from the U2 360° Tour, filmed at Camp Nou in Barcelona, Spain, on 2 July 2009.

And these are the lyrics:

She's a rainbow and she loves the peaceful life

Knows I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight


There's a part of me in the chaos that's quiet

And there's a part of you that wants me to riot

Everybody needs to cry or needs to spit

Every sweet-tooth needs just a little hit

Every beauty needs to go out with an idiot

How can you stand next to the truth and not see it?

A change of heart comes slow...


It's not a hill it's a mountain

As you start out the climb

Do you believe me or are you doubting?

We're gonna make it all the way to the light

But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight


Every generation gets a chance to change the world

Pity the nation that won't listen to your boys and girls

'Cos the sweetest melody is the one we haven't heard

Is it true the perfect love drives out all fear?

The right to appear ridiculous is something I hold dear

Oh, but a change of heart comes slow...


It's not a hill it's a mountain

As you start out the climb

Listen for me, I'll be shouting

But we're gonna make it all the way to the light

But I know I'll go crazy if I don't go crazy tonight


Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone

Baby, baby, baby, I know I'm not alone

Ha, ha, ha


It's not a hill it's a mountain

Listen for me, I'll be shouting

Shouting to the darkness, squeeze out sparks of light

You know we'll go crazy

You know we'll go crazy

You know we'll go crazy, if we don't go crazy tonight

Oh Oh

Slowly now

Oh Oh
