Burning The Ground Exclusive 1983
“Two Hearts Beat as One” is a song by Irish rock band U2. It is the seventh track on their 1983 album, War, and was released as its second single in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia on 21 March 1983.
The music video was directed by Meiert Avis and was filmed outside the Basilica of Sacré Coeur de Montmartre in Paris in March 1983 and portrays the band performing the song, intercut with scenes of an acrobat and other scenes featuring Peter Rowen (the boy who appears on the album cover). The Parisian church is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Unlike the other videos from the album, it has never been included on any of the band’s video compilations.
It was released as the album’s second single in the US, UK and Australia, as opposed to “Sunday Bloody Sunday”, which was released only in the mainland of Europe. Both singles were released in Japan.
