Are there two version of "Fast Cars"?

[edgeu22]

Twice I've caught the very end of "Fast Cars" on XM Satellite radio and I could swear it is a different version from HTDAAB.

Is there a second version (not Xanax and Wine) somewhere out there that I'm not aware of?

From what I heard, the song sounds like the music of Xanax with the lyrics of Fast Cars.

There's a Jackknife Lee remix that came out on one of the singles.

It's actually not bad either. It's, like you said, sort of a cross between "Fast Cars" and "Xanax and Wine."

what is it from?

The Jackknife Lee remix of Fast Cars was on one of the Sometimes You Can't blah singles.

 

[U2DMfan]

so Jacknife's version has music from Xanax in it?

that was the version I was asking about, the one with bits of both in it.

Also check out Canada's All Because of You cd single for this new Jacknife Lee version. I find it less raw and more squeaky clean. Not a bad remix.

It has a new version of the Jacknife Lee Fast Cars remix? Must order the single.


I think I am a little obsessed with this song.

[Adam'sbaby]

Both for me: remix and original

 

[cobl04]

If someone could be so kind as to send me the remix and the original please?

I brought HTDAAB but it didn't have Fast Cars on it. Can anyone clarify which countrie(s) didn't get stinged out of a 12th track?

 

[Zooropean103]

I like the remix better. It reminds me Discotheque a bit, which is a great thing!

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i think i've heard this version on xm as well. the version i've heard was the jackknife mix. (i know for sure cuz i have uhh..whatever single that mix was on!)

Basically everyone but the US got it. It isn't so much a bonus track as a punishment track for the US.

You can get it here if you shell out for the deluxe edition (with the big booklet that looks like a kindergarten art project).

I live in Australia, and thought I was going to miss out on the Booklet and Fast Cars, so I went and bought the normal album/DVD combo (with the normal sleeve and lyrics) for $25.

But a couple of weeks ago, I found the big Booklet/album/DVD combo that DID include Fast Cars. So, being a sucker for U2 merchendise, I spent $60 on a 48 page book and one song. (that I'd already bought as a remix on the SYCMIOYO single)

So, in effect, I've now spent over $100 on HTDAAB, including singles. I feel like I should have felt ripped off by now, but I don't!
