Bono has a bad ass fucking distinctive voice , that few if any could replicate, throw in his vocal range..... Complimented by three life long Mates of equally skilled musicians that stayed together for 40yrs, and tracks like this are the result... Fucking brilliant.
Ivan was cool. I would talk to him occasionally in the 2000's when he lived north of Ann Arbor on the Huron River. Had great conversations and I never met him. We would message each other from time to time.
I never knew as a preteen that this was a cover, I discovered it in 94 thanks to the movie "Threesome " Maybe because I heard and grew up with this version, I prefer it over the Patti Smith version but it's the only version that I can not only play over and over again, but one that I can truly say is in my top 5 of favorite songs.
Holy fucking fakk, first time ever I listened to this song was mid 90's, I was in high school and I'm still getting the exact same eargasms and stunning feelings as when I was a kid every single time I listen to this timeless masterpiece, can't wait to see them next July, even though I'm sure they will never play this song live. Cheers to all the folks who feel levitated by this song.
She is sublimation, she is the Essence of me . . U-2 on Live 105 . . my favorite version of a great song by Patti. Uh ! Grunt ! Yes ! Here i go & i don't know why . . just roll with it
@@louisristaino5973 Agree. I would never say one is better than the other. That's like saying one emotion is better than another. All of them make art, life, etc. a well-rounded experience.
So smooth ! I come back to this cover consistently as to me I think its the coolest patti smith cover out of hundreds. Smooth , pleasant , but yet stimulating . Leave it to bono
She is benediction She is addicted to he She is the root connection and She is connecting with me Here I go and I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be he's taking over me I'm dancing barefoot Headed for a spin Some strange music drags me in It makes me come up like some heroine She is sublimation She is the essence of thee She is concentrating on He who is chosen by she Here I go when I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be he's taking over me I'm dancing barefoot Headed for a spin Some strange music drags me in It makes me come up like some heroine She is recreation She intoxicated by thee She has the slow sensation that He is levitating with she Here I go when I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly 'Til I lose my sense of gravity I'm dancing barefoot Heading for a spin Some strange music drives me on Makes me come up like some heroine O God I feel for you O God I feel for you O God I feel for you O God I feel for you
Just getting in the U2 mood. Going to their final show tomorrow night in Dublin. Its unlikely they will play this brilliant tune though,as it was only a B.Side.
Finally listening to this remake for the first time. I am a big fan of U2 and don't hate this take at all, but to say it blows away Patti Smith's version I just don't understand. I hate to say this but they seem to have taken out all of Patti's emotion and mailed it in.
Agreed. Like the shallow cover of Because The Night by Natalie Merchant. I like U2 and Natalie Merchant, but I like them better when they did their own thing.
To each their own. I like both versions but I prefer this one so much more because of the final half. Bono just sings it better and for me, way more passion.
She is benediction She is addicted to he She is the root connection and She is connecting with me Here I go and I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be he's taking over me I'm dancing barefoot Headed for a spin Some strange music drags me in It makes me come up like some heroine She is sublimation She is the essence of thee She is concentrating on He who is chosen by she Here I go when I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be he's taking over me I'm dancing barefoot Headed for a spin Some strange strange music drags me in It makes me come up like some heroine She is recreation She intoxicated by thee She has the slow sensation that He is levitating with she Here I go when I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly 'Til I lose my sense of gravity I'm dancing barefoot Heading for a spin Some strange music drives me on Makes me come up like some heroine Oh God I feel for you Oh God I feel for you Oh God I feel for you Oh God I feel for you
I felt overjoyed with this song working late at a video store and once again feeling superb hearing it again as I puke and ache from pregnancy. the end of songs lyrics feel nice on my stressful triggers of body today.
