when the stars go bue

[phommel]

I know this is already a very old song.
But why do I hear this song so often lately on Catalan radio? everytime when I am at my girlfriends place I hear this song in the car on radio. Seems like this is a big hit at the moment.

Does anybody know more information about this?

thanx, P.

which I think was about 2003

So beautiful. Heres the lyrics too.

Dancin' where the stars go blue
Dancin' where the evening fell
Dancin' in your wooden shoes
In a wedding gown

Dancin' out on 7th street
Dancin' through the underground
Dancin' little marionette
Are you happy now

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
When the stars go blue
When the stars go blue
When the stars go blue

Laughing with your pretty mouth
Laughing with your broken eyes
Laughing with your lover's tongue
In a lullaby

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you
When the stars go blue
When the stars go blue
When the stars, when the stars go blue
When the stars go blue
When the stars go blue
Sense you baby
Blue
Sense you
Stars go blue
Sense you
When the stars go blue

Where do you go when you're lonely
Where do you go when you're blue
Where do you go when you're lonely
I'll follow you follow you follow you
Where do you go
Where do you go, where you go, where you go

(This song, written by Ryan Adams, features Bono on co-lead vocals and can be found on the album The Corrs Live From Dublin.

Blake sang it on American Idol. That's probably why you're hearing it often right now.

 

[BAW]

It was recently covered by Tim McGraw and his version is everywhere. I hear it in the grocery store, on the radio, at Best Buy. It makes me shudder

 

[JCOSTER]

I hear it mostly in the grocery store too, and JCPenneys as well.

Bonos version though.

Do you shudder because precious Bono is not singing it??

 

[BAW]

Do you shudder because precious Bono is not singing it??

I prefer the Ryan Adams version.

 

[redkat]

Do you shudder because precious Bono is not singing it??

I shudder because of the way it sounds. I usually like covers. That one not so much.

 

[Zoots]

Do you shudder because precious Bono is not singing it??

Great! Now you're starting fights in EYKIW too!

 

[silvrlvr]

I shuddered when Blake sang it, flatly, on Idol the other night. I like the Corrs' version a lot.

 

[BonoIsMyMuse]

I also feel like the original is the best. It just sounds wrong to me sung by anyone else. Even precious

 

[*browneyedgirl*]

What version are you hearing so much P?
I like the Bono and Corrs one the best, I never hear that one anywhere, except on my own dvd/cd.

 

[DreamOutLoud13]

That song is seriously stalking me. I hear the Tim McGraw version on the piped-in radio in a restaurant, I see the Ryan Adams version mentioned in a book, and then a friend of mine that doesn't even like U2 starts gushing to me about the version Bono did with The Corrs. Glad to see I'm not the only one experiencing this

 

[Bonochick]

Justin, what the hell? Quit trying to start fights, jeez.

As for the topic...well...I think we all know how I feel.

Ryan...

 

[BVS]

I know this is already a very old song.

If 2001 is considered very old then, yes it's ancient.

Ryan Adams released it in 2001.

Since then Bono and the Corrs have done it live, and Tyler Hilton and Tim McGraw have both slaughtered it...

 

[david]

I prefer the original.

Speaking of covers, I actually like Ryan Adams cover of Wonderwall over the original.

 

[Diemen]

^Ditto.

 

[Val]

can someone post the Corrs and Bono audio version or send it to me?
Mustreed@aol.com Thank you so much!

 

[Justin24]

sorry. It's just I had high hopes of going to do part of my personal photo project in Bodie again and well the weather was bad their so I could not go, and then on top of that my boss calls me on my day off to bug me about where the video server is, etc.. and I went to the doctor who said My liver levels were high and that they recommended giving me a Hep. A injection.

 

[U2Kitten]

Bono + Andrea version is the best!

Haha you're right. But that song I have listeed to so many times after it came out. I was so amazed when i discovered Ryana Adams. And I also love the Corrs/Bono-version.

But I am still wondering why it is on radio so many times lately in Spain. I discovered it's also high in download-top10s in Spain.
And I am sure it has nothing to do with that American Idol. We don't see American Idol in Europe. We have our own Idols-programs (which I hate so much!)

grtz, P.

I prefer the Ryan Adams version.

The Ryan Adams version is awesome.

 

[LemonMelon]

Great! Now you're starting fights in EYKIW too!

He's quite the mixer, isn't he?

...But very clean.

 

[alanah]

I'm not exactly a huge fan of this song, but the Corrs version is better in my opinion.

Actually didn't know that. duh sometimes I just assume.
I heard Tim McGraw sing it one morning on the Today Show and thought, oh that's sweet, he's doing the Andrea/Bono song. I thought it was written by Bono for the Coors.
Even though I'm not a country music fan, TM did a good version of it that day.

What a clean old man!

That movie's awesome!

 

[Val]

I remember getting the Disney channel in the 80's just so I could record the movie with the "very clean " grandfather. For some reason they were broadcasting it.

when I was a kid we use to go th the theatre and watch it all day and then show up the next day and do it all over again. I guess you can say I've always been fan material.

 

[Danny Boy]

A new mix of the song was released on a Corrs compilation back in November of last year.

Perhaps that's why you've been hearing it more lately?

Totally agree with you on Ryan's cover of Wonderwall ....Saw him do it live many years ago .. solo on the piano ...it blew me away .. but as for 'Stars go Blue' ..I love Bono&Corrs version..
For all of you that never heard Ryan 's version the album is GOLD ... incredible album.
