U2 - Stay (Faraway, So Close!)
 Album:
Zooropa (1993)
  1. “Against the Sky” by Brian Eno and Harold Budd. That’s why Budd’s listed as one of the contributing artists for the song. If memory serves, it’s pretty much just the synth in the background of Cedars of Lebanon.

    It's sampled at the start.

    It's a loop that they created to spark some lyrics.


  5. The album was recorded by Eno & Lanois between 80 84 about two or three kms from where I now live. Eno had decamped here because of the expense of NY studios.
  6. Thank you for this song u2. Faraway so close indeed .
  8. Can never get over my first time finding this version, gave me chills:
  9. ...except maybe for this song, a handful of NLOTH tunes, and Sleep Like A Baby Tonight. But those are the exception, not the rule.


    well...for me, NLOTH was the return of U2
  10. The best Bono vocal on a studio version of a song.
  12. Angel of Harlem.
