Day 595 - Day 230

“You say you want Diamonds on a ring of gold. You say you want your story to remain untold. But all the promises we make from the cradle to the grave. When all I want is you”

All I Want Is You: U2, Rattle And Hum

 

This is such a beautiful song from the Dublin boys, off the rattle and Hum soundtrack. Such a beautifully simple song floating between only a couple cords. It’s not the complexity of a song always, btu the composition and this is a great example of this.

 

This is yet another song that has such a buildup of emotion and sound. At the end Bono leaves us on a high note of belting out his emotions- and I am always left speechless.

 

*** Artist Notes ***

Diamonds and a ring of gold…

 

Lyrics:

You say you want

Diamonds on a ring of gold

You say you want

Your story to remain untold

But all the promises we make

From the cradle to the grave

When all I want is you

 

You say you'll give me

A highway with no one on it

Treasure just to look upon it

All the riches in the night

 

You say you'll give me

Eyes in a moon of blindness

A river in a time of dryness

A harbour in the tempest

But all the promises we make

From the cradle to the grave

When all I want is you

 

You say you want

Your love to work out right

To last with me through the night

 

You say you want

Diamonds on a ring of gold

Your story to remain untold

Your love not to grow cold

 

All the promises we break

From the cradle to the grave

When all I want is you

 

You

All I want is...

You

All I want is...

You

All I want is...
