I'm always taken by surprise as to how fast Monday comes. Another Monday, another week, I suppose--and that means another Song of the Week! This week it's Fast Cars. Fast Cars was a bonus track on the 2004 album How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb--but only for the releases in Ireland, UK and Japan. It was released also in the collector's editions in every region, and was a part of the Itunes compilation of U2 called The Complete U2. It was also remixed on the 'All Because of You' single.
The interesting thing about Fast Cars, is that it's the only song on the album that mentions the album title "Dismantle and Atomic Bomb," despite being merely a bonus track. Kind of like 'Walk On,' but Walk On was a main track on the album.
Surprisingly though, it has been played live; only 16 times on the Vertigo tour. The live performance translated well on stage, as you can see in the awesome video below. Do check it out for Bono's spanish rose dance...
