OTHER NOTES |
Although released in most areas as the first 'traditional'
single from Zooropa, Stay was actually the third
single released from the album, following Numb
and
Lemon. Stay would reappear throughout the
years on other material released by U2. In 1993, an alternate version of
the track was featured on the Faraway So Close soundtrack. A remix, titled
the Underdog Remix appeared on the fan club only compilation CD, Melon,
in 1995. In 2002 the track was featured on Craig Armstrong's album, As
if to Nothing, and it featured vocals rerecorded by Bono in the summer
of 2001.
The single actually contained two titles on the sinle for many releases
making it a double A-Side with "I've Got You Under My Skin". The track
was recorded as a duet by Bono and Frank Sinatra and was released at the
same time as Stay. Both were climbing the charts at Christmas of
1993. The duet between Bono and Frank Sinatra was released on Sinatra's
Duets
album.
As a live song, Stay first appeared on the Zooropa leg of the ZOO TV
tour in 1993. It was only played in Europe, and did not appear in
1997's Popmart tour. In 2001, Stay had the distinction of being the only
song from the Zooropa album played live in North
America during a tour. It was recorded live on May 25, 2001 and released
as a b-side to the European / Australian Walk On
single, and the Canadian Stuck in a Moment single. |
