'Sometimes...' in Shops Now.

8 Feb 2005
Luciano Pavarotti joins Bono on 'Ave Maria': just one of a series of great additional tracks with the new single 'Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own', now on sale.

'Sometimes...', the second single from 'How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb', is released by Universal Island Records (outside Canada, the US and South America) this week and comes in 2 CD formats and a DVD single.

B-sides include an exclusive Jacknife Lee remix of 'Ave Maria' sung by Bono with Luciano Pavarotti - the original of which was performed at the Pavarotti & Friends concert in Italy in 2003.

There's also the dancefloor-filling 'Vertigo' Redanka remix, and the Jacknife Lee remix of UK and Japan-only album track 'Fast Cars'.

The DVD carries a video of the band performing 'Sometimes ...' live from the Dublin studio, along with a Trent Reznor reworking of Vertigo.
