I just discovered the group Clannad this week when a friend who I car pool with bought a tape of theirs - _Anam_ . Anyways, there is a really nice duet the Bono (from U2) sings with Maire Brennan (the groups female vocalist). Scott, my friend, lent me this tape today and I was reading through the lyric sheet while listening to _In a Lifetime_ and there is a part that Bono sings that doesn't sound like it matches up with the lyric sheet. The lyric sheet lists: unless the sound has faded from your soul unless it disappears . . . After several close listenings I still can't convince myself that Bono is singing "has faded from your" in the first line above. Further more I have no idea what he might be singing. Does anybody have any clues and/or opinions??? By the way, the album is fairly good and I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in nices vocals and music with a slightly irish folk sound to it (I'm told their other albums show a stronger folk influence). I also think the the duet with Bono is the best song on the album, and one of his better efforts. I hope I hear a lot more collaborative efforts from them (well, in can't hurt to fantasize ... :^). I also heard the Peter Gablriel's new album and thought it wasn't too bad ... I probably would have recieved it better if I hadn't heard all the press release muck about "...mecca for international musicians ..." or what ever it was that I kept hearing... I liked Sinnead O'connor's vocals on the 1st song ... (how did I ever remember ^^^^^^^^ how to spell her name I'll never know >8'q ) Wouldn't it be nice if KaTe herself gave us something to talk about? Say, an new album - naw that'd be asking too much :^) -Jonathan -- ============================================ | Jonathan Cano | // _ | | jonathan@cats.ucsc.edu | \\ // (_) | | 8kyu (+- 2kyu) | \X/ |< | ============================================
