About This Track

“Until the End of the World” is a song by rock band U2 and the fourth track from their 1991 album Achtung Baby. The song began as a guitar riff composed by lead vocalist Bono from a demo, which the band revisited with success after talking with German filmmaker Wim Wenders about providing music for his film Until the End of the World. The song’s lyrics describe a fictional conversation between Jesus Christ and Judas Iscariot. [1] The first verse discusses The Last Supper; the second is about Judas identifying Jesus with a kiss on the cheek in the Garden of Gethsemane; and the final is about Judas’ suicide after being overwhelmed with guilt and sadness.

    Incredible song, perhaps my favorite U2 song and definitely from my favorite album. Hopefully, Edge's lyrical playing won't get lost in all this talk of Jesus and Judas. Excellent, excellent song.

    One of their greatest songs ever! Who knew a conversation between Judas Iscariot and Jesus could sound this cool. We ate the food, we drank the wine - everyone having a good time.

    Captures the horror of betrayal of Christ by Judas Iscariot through the ripping and haunting guitar riffs and Bono's knowing McPhisto-like swagger of excess perfectly. Here is a picture of the soul of Judas in the final moments made manifest.
