what's the most irish u2 song (or side project)

[SkeeK]

what say you, good sirs?

 

[LMP]

In a Lifetime, Bono and Clannad

so celtic, and sounds distinctly irish

I also say Tomorrow

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

tomorrow

it has bagpipes for crying out loud!

 

[MrBrau1]

Tomorrow
Jesus Christ
Van Diemens Land
Wild Irish Rose

 

[unosdostres14]

what about An Cath Dubh

 

[beli]

In a Lifetime - traditional
Van Diemen's Land - folk
Wild Honey - reminds me of Van The Man

 

[Pearl]

I would say "Tomorrow", because it has the Irish pipes in them.

And the duet Bono did with Clannad, "In A Lifetime", is also very Irish. Maybe because Clannad has a traditional Irish sound or maybe because the video is set in the Irish countryside.

Bagpipes are Scottish, not Irish.

 

[miracledrugluvr]

good point...

 

[Pearl]

I think the pipes in "tomorrow" are called Uillean (sp?) pipes.

 

[beli]

But yes, Tomorrow does sound Irish. I agree with the people who said that

 

[Danny Boy]

"Put 'Em Under Pressure," though it's never been clear to me whether Larry actually plays on this or just gets a production credit.

Good call!

 

[ImOuttaControl]

Wild Irish Rose by a long shot IMO.

 

[U2DMfan]

and Jesus Christ is a Woodie Guthrie song, who was American, OKie at that.

My vote is for the newer rendition of Tomorrow and In the Name of the Father.

Listen to the beat. It's like tons of Pogues songs. If JC isn't Irish inspired, The Pogues aren't Irish inspired.

 

[U2DMfan]

well sure it's Irish inspired, just about anything they do is Irish inpsired, I just think that as far as Irish flavor, I wouldnt pick that one song.

And at that point, when I typed that out, I realize that I am making a very semantical arguement, and also I realize that I like beer. So I don't totally disagree, but I do like beer.

 

[MrBrau1]

I like beer.

 

[Zoots]

Tomorrow, definitely. I'm curious about the Clannad song now since I do like some Enya.

Mr. Brau, back to the baby huh? Feel like you're being born... just arrived?

 

[Zoots]

OMG, it actually looks like the baby is saying "I like beer".

 

[MrBrau1]

 

[ZeroDude]

"Tomorrow" by far and of course "In A Lifetime" also yes there are Uillean pipes in it, which of course own bag pipes on the premise that their Irish

 

[miss becky]

I agree with everyone who said Tomorrow and In a Lifetime. I would also add Thief of Your Heart, from the In the Name of the Father soundtrack.

 

[miss becky]

And to anyone interested in the video for In a Lifetime...

[Zoots]

Thanks for the Lifetime video, miss Becky.. or can I just call you Becky?

And I suppose you're talking about 'you made me the theif of your heart'. Wasn't that by Sinead?

 

[cmb737]

Is there a version of "Wild Irish Rose" out there without Bono blabbering all over it?

 

[peach]

"Put 'Em Under Pressure," though it's never been clear to me whether Larry actually plays on this or just gets a production credit.

Becky is fine. Sinead O'Connor sang the song, but Bono and Gavin Friday wrote it.
