Reading the news today about Bono co-writing a song for the upcoming Neville Brothers album got me thinking if there was enough material for a CD written by Bono for other artists?
1. You Made Me A Thief Of Your Heart ? co-written for Sinead O?Conner
2. The Father And His Wife The Spirit (2:27) - co-written for Sinead O?Conner
3. Goldeneye ? written for Tina Turner
4. Time Enough For Tears ? written for Andrea Corr
5. Conversation On Bar Stool ? written for Marianne Faithfull
6. Love Is Blindness ? written for Nina Simone ? recorded by Cassandra Wilson
7. Two Shots Of Happy One Shot Of Sad ? written for Frank Sinatra ? recorded by Matt Dusk (2004) (4:29) or George Bugatti (2003) (5:03)
8. Slow Dancing ? written for Willie Nelson
9. Blue ? co-written for Zucchero
10. She?s A Mystery To Me ? written for Roy Orbison
11. When Love Comes To Town (4:40) ? written for BB King ? Live At The Apollo (1990)
12. Kingdom Come ? co-written for The Neville Brothers
13. Jah Love - co-written for The Neville Brothers
14. The Wanderer ? written for Johnny Cash? Regardless a Divine match for him
15. Miserere (4:12) ? co-written for Pavaroitti & Zucchero
All songs recorded by the artists that the songs were written for unless otherwise noted.
I doubt whether U2 or Bono or a record company would put out such a CD. But you never know. And there?s nothing stopping us from putting together one. As U2 fans we may enjoy such a compilation. A nice change of pace. Also it could something that maybe our parents or friends (who may not be ?into? rock music) would enjoy. A wide variety of styles of music and quite a selection of singers!
I do not know if Bob Dylan has ever done a Live version of Love Rescue Me? If he has and it was recorded then I would add that one too. Since my memory of the story is that Bono began writing a song for Dylan in L.A. and the next day Dylan called him and asked him if he?d be interested in writing a song together!
What is your favourite song which Bono has written for another artist?
