U2--Dancing Barefoot (Patti Smith) 1989

: Excellent version of the great Patti Smith Group song
Recorded at STS Studios, Dublin. Produced by U2, Engineer Paul Barrett Released in '89 as b-side to 'When Love Comes to Town' single with BB King
I used parts of 'Staring at the Sun' for this montage
She is benediction She is addicted to he She is the root connection and She is connecting with me Here I go and I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be he's taking over me I'm dancing barefoot Headed for a spin Some strange music drags me in It makes me come up like some heroine She is sublimation She is the essence of thee She is concentrating on He who is chosen by she Here I go when I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly Could it be he's taking over me I'm dancing barefoot Headed for a spin Some strange music drags me in It makes me come up like some heroine She is recreation She intoxicated by thee She has the slow sensation that He is levitating with she Here I go when I don't know why I spin so ceaselessly 'Til I lose my sense of gravity I'm dancing barefoot Heading for a spin Some strange music drives me on Makes me come up like some heroine O God I feel for you O God I feel for you O God I feel for you O God I feel for you (Patti Smith & Ivan Kral)

[@morand-gw7xn]

Bono has a bad ass fucking distinctive voice , that few if any could replicate, throw in his vocal range..... Complimented by three life long Mates of equally skilled musicians that stayed together for 40yrs, and tracks like this are the result... Fucking brilliant.

[@deplorableaussie6749]

Yep, absolute facts .

[@darrellhiatt6500]

Heard this on radio in very late 80's and never knew a Cover. I knew U2, very nice

[@reyesnoemi4229]

O leeeeeeeee

[@brianmcdonald9298]

Always loved this version. Needs to be played very late at night with someone you love

[@calanthiarose]

Good Idea

[@jjpallas68]

Agreed❤

[@samusvikerness661]

Coolest thing U2 has ever done probably.

[@politruc6030]

R.I.P. Ivan Kral - a composer of this great song.

[@revwahfair]

Ivan was cool. I would talk to him occasionally in the 2000's when he lived north of Ann Arbor on the Huron River. Had great conversations and I never met him. We would message each other from time to time.

[@sschlieper9483]

Rarely a cover is better than the original. This is one.

Are you on drugs or something

[@sschlieper9483]

@ Apparently you are though. Patti Smith is amazing but this version blows hers away.

[@MrHeavyduty007]

@@sschlieper9483 - 100% agree with you!!

Disagree. I prefer Patti’s rawer version.

Timeless gold from these dudes. Love em ❤

[@tv2109]

Definitely one of the greatest covers ever!

It's ok... It's not great... The Mission cover of this is far better. And I don't really like The Mission that much 😝

[@ChelseyEasley]

@ I listened to it out of curiosity. Definitely disagree.

[@GlorifiedTruth]

A matter of taste, I guess. I think U2 kills this, and I'm not a huge fan.

This song belongs to the tracking of Daisy Jones and the six, serie from Prime vídeo. So cool!

[@winterlynn9012]

I never knew as a preteen that this was a cover, I discovered it in 94 thanks to the movie "Threesome " Maybe because I heard and grew up with this version, I prefer it over the Patti Smith version but it's the only version that I can not only play over and over again, but one that I can truly say is in my top 5 of favorite songs.

Holy fucking fakk, first time ever I listened to this song was mid 90's, I was in high school and I'm still getting the exact same eargasms and stunning feelings as when I was a kid every single time I listen to this timeless masterpiece, can't wait to see them next July, even though I'm sure they will never play this song live. Cheers to all the folks who feel levitated by this song.

[@Matthew-b2i]

[@legasiguy551]

Underrated U2 cover! Reminds me of Sixto Rodriguez - Can't Get Away and World Party - Ship of Fools. All have the same structure and vibe.

[@hectorvortac]

Finally listening to this remake for the first time. I am a big fan of U2 and don't hate this take at all, but to say it blows away Patti Smith's version I just don't understand. I hate to say this but they seem to have taken out all of Patti's emotion and mailed it in.

[@montycantsin8861]

Agreed. Like the shallow cover of Because The Night by Natalie Merchant. I like U2 and Natalie Merchant, but I like them better when they did their own thing.

[@lucamontanarilughi530]

To each their own. I like both versions but I prefer this one so much more because of the final half. Bono just sings it better and for me, way more passion.
