Just you, and U2. What ONE song are you gonna have them perform for you?

Although my fav is Bad I will say AIWIY. Can't beat his crooning at the end. And to hear Bono say this to me....

What about everyone else?

Well, sorry Bono and Adam, but my private show would have to be just Edge on guitar, singing, and Larry playin' those drums...

With Or Without You

*faints at the very thought*
 
"ONE"- Bono and Edge playing acoustic guitars by candlelight.

------------------
"Walk On, stay safe tonight"
 
Oh jeez... you're gonna make me pick again. *sigh* argh...

Ok, I'd have to say that the one song I'd want the boys to play just for me would have to be... *drumroll*

Heartland. It's such a beautiful song...

Prolly one of my top 3 favs, and so underrated too.

Heartland! What a good idea, that's one of my favorites too! I saw you wrote all the lyrics to it on your website Bonavoix, good site!
 
If it was just me and U2 I'd have Love Is Blindness.

------------------
Take the money, honey.
 
This is an easy question for me. I would have to pick Bono singing "Got you under my skin" with Edgy-Wedgy since Frank is gone

. Having them sing MY line at me would be the high point of my life.
" Don't you know BLUEEYES, you never can win ".
Well, okay it's not exactly a "go get 'em tiger!" sentiment, but I'll settle for being told that I am a loser by U2!.

3. Red Hill Mining Town
4. Angel of Harlem

Ooooh what a good question....even though I love Velvet Dress...
I would love for Bono to gently take my hand and sing to me.........
"It's time to go again.....to Your Blue Room!!!!!!!!!......***Maria swoons***
of course the 3 others are also welcome inside my blue room!

Thanks! Ya know, that song... it's Adam's bass line that kills me every single time especially during the chorus. And the lyrics are incredibly beautiful, very deep. Bono has to be one of the best (I mean among the top 3) lyricists I've ever come across. But yeah, Heartland is one of my favorite U2 songs right now... it's tied with Van Diemen's Land.

one song?? ONLY ONE??? **STRESS** What a difficult decision!!! LOL Hmmmm.. I guess it would have to be...rember during the Zoo TV tour when Bono sang that sexy acapella version of "I Can't Help Falling In Love"?? That would be it...at least thats my choice of the moment.
 
I'd have to say "In a Little While." Um, HOW many times have I listened to the "you turn me on" part? But Running to Stand Still and One Tree Hill are close runners-up.

Can't do it. Sorry. Like Lay's, I can't do just one.

There are just too many songs with too much meaning for me....but I have it narrowed down to:

Love is Blindness (GAH! this song does things to my MIND!)
Mysterious Ways (gotta dance!)
Corpse, off Passengers (gotta have Edge sing me something!)
Heartland, as well (Thanks BV!) This song has put a longing, a craving, inside me to drop everything and go driving on Route 66 to see America's heartland! LOVE that song!

Disco...being song greedy, sorry
 
gee... that really gets you thinking??

i would have to say that 'so cruel' is my song at the moment, just hearing larry hit those drums does it for me
wink.gif

a small darkened room and candles would be the ideal setting.... wow !!
' and you dont know if it's fear or desire'
'her heart is racing... you cant keep up...'
I have to go and lie down now........

Well, since its a private show... I would go with "If You Were That Velvet Dress!" Awww, But I just want Bono singing it to me! Who needs drums, guitar, and bass!

It's a private show - no one else going to know....

I would have to say "Love Is Blindness", that song gives me chills. Complete with a slow dance with Bono, that would be even better !
wink.gif


My other choice, for an upbeat song, would be "Even Better Than the Real Thing".

I think I'd have to go for "With or Without You" in the key of the album version so Bono would hit all the higher notes. That song gives me chills when I'm with 20,000 other people- I'd love to enjoy it with only 4 others!
smile.gif
 
Uhm...only me and U2? Maybe I would choose "Stay" (I'm sure I'd cry a lot, listening to it in front of them
smile.gif
)...
But...if the question was "...Just you and BONO"...well...in that case I would surely choose "If you wear that velvet dress"...WOOOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!

Mystirious Ways, no doubt!! Adams hip moves during this song....

*AM faints

POP ANGEL!! You totally read my mind. I'd melt like butter if Larry sang "Stay" to me.

Hell, he could sing "I wish I were an Oscar Meyer Weiner" and I'd be a puddle on the floor.

Wow! Just one? Really tough question...
Hmmmm....With Or Without You is always good, but that's my sad song, so nah...Bad is so beautiful...that might be good...
Nope, I got it! Under-played, under-mentioned, but musically genius, and vocally, well, it turns me to a puddle of goo: Starin' at the Sun...*sigh* I get goosepimply just thinking about it...
