If I should say some song who maybe give me most feelings this is a great candidate for a title like that. The Wanderer, in a colloabration with Jonnny Cash and U2. A fantastic combination. Maybe also one of my best videos.
"The Wanderer" is the tenth and final track from U2's 1993 album, Zooropa. It features country legend Johnny Cash on lead vocals. It is one of the few U2 songs not to feature Bono on lead vocals at any point. The Edge provides harmonising backing-vocals throughout the song, but the country style howl at the end is by Bono.

Cash recorded the vocals for the song in Dublin in February 1993 during the Zooropa sessions. At that time the song was tentatively called "Wandering". Producer, Brian Eno, tried to get Bono to sing the song, but Bono maintained it was Cash's voice he imagined singing the song. Bono and Cash had previously worked on a song called "Ellis Island".

The lyrics describe a man searching for God in a post-Apocalyptic world. There is no guitar and Adam Clayton's synthesised bassline is the prominent musical sound throughout the song, although Larry Mullen's drumbeats can be heard.

Although neither U2 nor Cash performed it live in concert, U2 played it in a television special entitled I Walk the Line: A Night for Johnny Cash, following Cash's death in 2003. The special performance of the song featured The Edge adding dramatic falsetto background vocals.
I really hopes that you enjoy this video who also is a re-uploading from June of 2009 from my old site of Falke58.
Best Wishes

  • Love this song, probably one of his best but most under-rated songs. I've never commented on the visual editing of a video before but I feel the need to on this occasion, brilliant video!

    Thanks for those lovely words!

  • @PhilDeeferSite U2's Wanderer sung by Johnny Cash is a great song. Does anyone have access to an instrumental version? I like listening to it but I'd love to sing it too.

  • @MisterJoe3d

    but can imagine is quit good to

    be backed up by U2,

    could sounds good with

    diffirent singers.
