About this lyric:
Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour) by Jay-Z, Rihanna, The Edge, and Bono, Music Lyrics and Video
Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour) is a song from "Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief", a charity telethon that was held on 22 January 2010.
The song was produced by Swizz Beatz and Declan Gaffney and was performed by Jay-Z, Rihanna, The Edge, and Bono.
"Sitting in the studio and watching Haiti hurting, I knew immediately I had to do something," Swizz Beatz said. "I reached out to my friends Bono and Jay-Z and asked for their help. Jay and Rihanna sent their vocals, and that same night Bono and I went into the studio."
The in-studio version of "Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)" will be available via iTunes on a special album of live performances from the "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon. Just like the telethon, relief organizations that will benefit from the special album include Partners in Health, Oxfam America, the Red Cross, UNICEF, Yéle Haiti Foundation, United Nations World Food Program and the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund. All the proceeds will go toward Haiti earthquake relief.
Listen the song here, this is the video from the telethon.
Please buy this track and all the songs from the telethon on iTunes and help Haiti.
