U2是80年代英国最受欢迎的摇滚乐团。他们的音乐历程难以言尽，这首With Or Without You收录于1987年3月推出专辑The Joshua Tree中。它巩固了U2乐坛的地位，使U2成为世界最受欢迎的乐队组合之一。U2以摇滚乐为主，这首歌则是极其抒情的一首。显示了U2乐队新的更为宽广的声音以及深入人心的抒情旋律。在《Friends第二季第八集》20’30’’时，Ross在Julie和Rachel之间摇摆不定，难以取舍。Chandler建议说，列一张优缺点对照表来进行理性的判断；结果只列出了缺点。但是Ross最终选择了Rachel，但当Rachel发现他竟用这种方法进行取舍，她很生气又不同意与Ross交往了。Ross为了使Rachel原谅他为她点了一首歌"With or Without You"，一首关于爱和等待的歌。

 

Artist: U2

Title: With Or Without You

See the stone set in your eyes

See the thorn twist in your side.

I wait for you.

Sleight of hand and twist of fate

On a bed of nails she makes me wait

And I wait without you

 

With or without you

With or without you

 

Through the storm, we reach the shore

You gave it all but I want more

And I'm waiting for you

 

With or without you

With or without you

I can't live with or without you.

 

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give, and you give

And you give yourself away.

 

My hands are tied, my body bruised

She’s got me with nothing to win

And nothing left to lose

 

And you give yourself away

And you give yourself away

And you give, and you give

And you give yourself away.

 

With or without you

With or without you

I can't live

With or without you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

 

With or without you

With or without you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I can't live

With or without you

With or without you
