Danielle Haim has recalled how she texted Bono to ask him to guest on Haim‘s 2019 single ‘Summer Girl’.
Song Exploder, which features Haim’s lead vocalist/guitarist, Haim bassist/vocalist Este Haim, regular Haim producer Ariel Rechtshaid and ‘Summer Girl”s co-producer and co-writer Rostam.
Danielle and Rostam recalled in the episode how they approached Bono with the offer to sing on ‘Summer Girl’, with the former reaching out to the U2 frontman via text message with the invitation to collaborate vocals on the song’s closing line “
and I can see the angels coming down / Like a wave that’s crashing on the ground”.
“‘Not like I’m counting the days’, she mused through the phonograph, ‘but it’s been twenty-five.’ I caught my breath, ran out of the library, and rushed down the spiral staircase to the solemnly decorated vestibule where I keep the telephone. I cannot recall if it was isolation, invention, or the somnambulant whimsy that holidays are made of, but soon we had struck upon an inversion most wicked, yet somehow both merry and true.
“Ty [Caroline] for making this with me, the finale to last night’s Pop Carol. Also ty to everyone who attended & took part, was a genuinely heart warming eve.”
