See New U2 Video For “You’re The Best Thing About Me” [VIDEO]

U2 will be releasing its new album, “Songs of Experience,” later this year. But the Irish icons dropped the video today for the first singe off the upcoming LP.

The song is “You’re the Best Thing about Me,” a love song from Bono to his wife, Ali. It’ll be on the new, “Experience,” album – the companion piece to U2’s 2014 album, “Songs of Innocence.”

They chose to make the video about their love for New York City, the site of their first U.S. concert in 1980. The impressive video footage was shot in NYC earlier this month and could serve as a pro-New York tourism video. I like the upbeat, melodic song and their choice to highlight our nation’s largest city, where I watched the New Year’s Eve ball drop in 1987. Have a look and listen for yourself
