U2 - Sleep Like a Baby Tonight
 Album:
Songs Of Innocence (2014)
  1. It may be a painful reality, but the song is not painful at all. Great version! The falsetto is better here, still powerful.
  2. Lyrics of the alternative version up on the song pages
  3. The alternative version blows the album version away in my opinion. Lyrically darker, a little bit longer of a solo by Edge, THE FALSETTO, everything is so great on this version. The opening is so... just creepy. Fits the theme of the song so well.

    +1
  5. Am I correct that Invisible apears as an hidden track after this one on the 2nd disc?
  6. You are.

    +2.

    Just perfect.
  8. Love the alternate version. The original feels like the "priest" version and the alternate is the "boy" version. Love the line "Steal back your innocence, that's what they stole from you"

    Great track!
  9. It's so wrong that it's...
    right
  10. Dark as coal...

    Great track!

    Good point. As it's named "alternative perspective remix".
    So obvious I didn't think of it.
  12. Alternative Lyrics (at least what I can hear):

    "Awake
    In the morning when you wake up
    You won't have much, but you have enough
    When you are weakest I'll be strong enough for you

    Dream
    Yeah the one's where you are fearless
    Can't break what's broken, you are tearless
    Steal back your innocence, that's what they stole from you

    You're gonna sleep like a baby tonight
    Not everything can be so black and white
    There are demons in the broad daylight
    But you can sleep like a baby tonight

    Stop
    Where you stand right now, just stop
    Don't think or look down at the drop
    People staring from the street, don't know what you've got

    You're gonna sleep like a baby tonight
    No, not everything can be so black and white
    There are demons in the broad daylight
    But you can sleep like a baby tonight

    Oh, hope is where the door is
    When home is where the war is
    When nobody can feel no one else's pain

    You're gonna sleep like a baby tonight
    Not everything can be so black and so white
    There are demons in the broad daylight
    You've got to sleep like a baby tonight
    Sleep like a baby tonight

    Where you stand, where you fall is where I kneel
    So take your heart back to where you can feel... Like a child
    Child..."

    Chilling.
