Adam Clayton's contribution to U2 has primarily been through his sublime bass playing, but on two rare occasions, he has provided key vocals as well.
One of these instances is in the song "Your Blue Room" from the 1995 album Original Soundtracks Vol 1, a collaborative project between U2 and Brian Eno under the pseudonym "Passengers."
The track is notable for its atmospheric, cinematic feel, and in its final verse, Clayton delivers a calm, spoken-word recitation that complements the dreamlike mood. This vocal appearance stands out because of how rare it is for Clayton to take on a vocal role in U2's music.
"Your Blue Room" marks only the second time Clayton's voice was featured on a U2 project.
His first vocal contribution came on the 1983 track "Endless Deep," the B-side to "Two Hearts Beat as One from the War album.
"Endless Deep" is an instrumental piece with a brief spoken word section by Clayton.
Clayton has done many live duties with the band however!
