🥳FROM THE 📻 YEARS, STRAIGHT FROM THE 💘80'S❗️

🎉Clannad - 🎶In a Lifetime

Clannad had already written most of the lyrics for the song and recorded a backing track when the group asked Bono of U2 if he would collaborate with them on the recording, the first time the group had allowed an outside artist to join them in recording one of their tracks. The track was recorded over two nights at Windmill Lane Studios in Dublin. After the first evening’s recording session was completed an electrical storm raged throughout the night which inspired many of the artists to bring extra lyrics and ideas for the track to the following day’s session, with Pol Brennan explaining later that he had stayed up much of the night writing. The second day’s recording saw Bono improvise some of his lyrics and vocal style to suit the song, completing his contribution in two takes. The recording session, as Moya Brennan remembers, was “one of the most remarkable things I’ve ever seen in a studio.”
