I'm Not Your Baby...

[The Wanderer]

tell me more about this song!

I just discovered the version with vocals (dumbass that I am) and was wondering when exactly it was written/ recorded

 

[ladywithspinninghead]

[The Wanderer]

thank you sir, may I have another?

 

[Calluna]

Blarg, I cant find shit on this song.

I must be losin my magical powers.

 

[The Wanderer]

hi Calluna... Julie was no hope whatsoever (but she's got an excuse though she's French Canadian)

Sicy I'm disappointed in you

 

[Danospano]

It was recorded live, but I'm not sure if the version seen on the Please single is the one you're talking about.

I know it was a duet with Sinead O'Connor and that it kicks major ass.

Did that help (LOL)? I pretty much stated the obvious.

 

[The Wanderer]

huh???

does that mean it was recorded during the Pop sessions???

if so, it should have been on the CD... but for some reason I am under the impression it was recorded shortly after Zoo TV

 

[Danospano]

I don't know WHEN it was recorded, but I do know it was on the first version of the 'Please' single. The version on this single was a remix (I just found out), so the original version could have very likely been recorded during Zoo Tv.

Haha, love your 'from' Dano!
Well, Sicy pretty much covered it I guess. All I know is that the vocal version was on The End of Violence soundtrack.

 

[The Wanderer]

doesn't say when it was recorded, Sicy

but you don't answer to me, I'm Not Your Baby...

well I know it was on the soundtrack to the Wim Wenders film "The End of Violence"

Don't want you to cover me
Smother me or mother me
I like to feel this incomplete
I'm not your baby

Hello,

I'm Not Your Baby can be found on the soundtrack of The End Of Violence. It is a film by Wim Wenders (where have I seen this name before?

). Go out and buy the soundtrack as it has lots of great songs on it (Ry Cooder, Tom Waits, Michael Stipe, Roy Orbison, Ryan Adams).
Oh, and IMO that song (I'm Not Your Baby) is maybe the best song U2 released in 1997. And I'm someone who does like Pop!

And to answer your question about time and place; according to the liner notes it was recorded at the Hit Factory, New York. Judging from those liner notes (producers, mixers) it was recorded during or short after the Pop sessions (1996/1997) as Howie B and Flood produced it.

C ya!

Marty

P.S. The movie was strange but nice (kinda like all Wim Wenders' movies)
