"Dreaming With Tears In My Eyes"

[Mac Phisto]

I've always loved the song and was just looking at the melocholy lyrics. They don't seem very Bono-esque to me. Did he write it? Where was it recorded, is it even the whole of U2 (I've heard it credited to Bono and Larry solely). Any info on the tune would be appreciated.

It was written by Jimmie Rogers, the so-called "Father of Country Music."

Whoops. If it wasn't a U2 song I guess I better take it out of the Survivor game.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i coulda told you that dave

 

[DaveC]

But you didn't when I put the lists up earlier.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

i wasn't paying attention!

 

[The Scientist]

didn't ultravox do a cover of that?

 

[Mullen-Girl]

Bono did a beautiful job with that song, always makes me cry

 

[pukebreath]

Why do you say "the so called" father of country music. Do you feel that title belongs to someone else?

 

[babyman]

"why did you promise me a true love..." this song is very touchable

 

[Flaming Friar Sr]
