Dancing Barefoot Lyrics
She is addicted to he
She is the root connection and
She is connecting with me
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me?
Headed for a spin
Some strange music drags me in
It makes me come up like some heroine
She is the essence of thee
She is concentrating on
He who is chosen by she
I spin so ceaselessly
Could it be he's taking over me?
Headed for a spin
Some strange strange music drags me in
It makes me come up like some heroine
She intoxicated by thee
She has the slow sensation that
He is levitating with she
I spin so ceaselessly
Till I lose my sense of gravity
Heading for a spin
Some strange music drives me on
Makes me come up like some heroine
Oh God, I feel for you
Oh God, I feel for you
Oh God, I feel for you
This is a Patty smith song, thank you. GOD! U2 !!! I dream.. I must be dreaming...
Yeah, it's a patti smith cover.
Indeed Patti Smith cover but this was like in 1986 or something...you can find it also in the OST of the movie Threesome.
I recall this being a b-side in the Rattle and Hum timeframe (89-90.) I also recall enjoying this as a b-side moreso than most of Rattle and Hum itself.
I'm such an idiot, it took me a few years from that to learn about Patti Smith. Now I only listen to the Patti Smith version. One of the best songs of all time...
Hey! This makes 4 postings for Dancing Barefoot on the U2 page while I only saw 2 postings for this song on the Patti Smith page... Maybe I'll wander over and spend some time alone on the Leonard Cohen pages...
This is a deep song, which is why I think Bono chose to cover it. At first it sounded like a 60's "drug trip is like a divine rapture." But reading the original Patty Smith lyrics and the extra verse about childbirth, makes me think this is about woman and her connection to creation.
it sounds quite sexy
