Agree!!!! (and I'm an old U2 fan...)
Nice work if you can get it............!
Ah, Bono the Tax Dodger. Gotta love a lib who demands his country raise taxes, and when they do, moves his company off shore for tax reasons.
As for the music: boy, don't they all look pretty...
corr blimey.... (down boy).

Me toooooooo!
This sounds really loose like your typical live jam with musicians that don't usually play together. I bet Bono did his part in one take. meh.

Ditto. And for those keeping track, one of the Corr girls is in The Commitments for a brief moment . . . she plays Jimmy Rabbite's little sister.
This is an inferior version of one of my favorite tunes. Total love/hate thing going here ...

Bono... Over marketed... Puke...
Oh god, It's obvious what bono was after. Look at those hot chicks.
I really like this song, but maybe it IS just because I'm a Bono-phile. It's good, but the one by Tim Mcgraw is a lot better, vocal-wise. Plus, it's got that Southern flava :) In my opinion, better that both the Bono and Ryan Adams version.

We seem to have an assortment of Bono's body parts being stuck in and out. Better put a stop to this right now.
I thought that was Bono. Yeah I am right here with this song....

I actually really like this song. Maybe because I like the music video so much? Or maybe because I want to be Bono and sing with the Corrs...

Put in the Frames song about stars here, d'you know the one? #-o I can't remember the title or the record.

The only truly good Corrs song was "Forgiven, Not Forgotten." But boy, those sisters sure are purty!
:-& :-& :-& :-& :-& :-& :-&
I like Ryan's better too, but I don't mind hearing this version because I kind of sick of Ryan. He's always been an ass, but he seems to take it to the extremes now.

For the first time I agree with you (concerning U2/Bono). SUMMER WINE is nice though!!!
say what you will about Ryan Adams, his version of this song is so much better.

Lamentably dull.

Yeah, this song shouldn't be made into a duet and the Corrs are definitely worthy of an easy-listening station. I do appreciate the nod to Ryan Adams though, I'm sick of all the people who call him a hack who lives off Strokes groupies -- he's a talented songwriter and should get the credit. Even if he doesn't know who he is.
I honestly can't believe the Corrs are being played here. This is easy listening pop megaproduced fake music. At least Bono saves this one some what - but really if you want to hear Irish music the Corrs is really not the way to go.

Hmmmm....Corrs on RP. There are times when a dedication to diversity can go too far. Mute button!!!
My ears!
Reminds me of cheesy 80's ballads like something with Mike (headband) Reno and one of the Heart sisters. Yikes.
I really like this, but the harmonies don\'t always work that well.
:D For all the negative comments before, I\'m a sucker for a good love song.... Ryan Adams did well. peace all ...Jim

I saw Ryan Adams in concert Monday. This song was GREAT live. Much less sappy than this version. I'd love to hear Adams' album version.

Sounds like Bono is trying his best to make something good of it, while he isn\'t too convinced \'bout the song. But, now he has worked with about all his idols, it\'s probably time for him to work with those, for who he\'s an idol.
Dreck.
Bleah. Insulin, quick.
Bono can\'t save this.
I heard this on the local FM station the other day, and I immediately thought to myself \"Why in the world is Bono singing this awful duet?\" This sounds like it ought to be on the local sap rock station, not RP.
Cool!
