“In a Lifetime” is a pop song performed by Irish artists Clannad and Bono. It was written by brothers Pól Brennan and Ciarán Brennan and produced by Steve Nye. The single was released in January 1986, and was the third single to be released from Clannad’s eighth studio album Macalla (1985).
It is one of Clannad’s most successful songs and it remains as Bono’s most successful solo effort.
The video was shot in Clannad’s hometown of Gweedore, County Donegal, Ireland. It is set in 1930′s Ireland and it is based on the lives of local folk around this time. It shows young children walking along a narrow road in the countryside, followed by a hearse. It also shows old men drinking in a pub. The video, which was directed by Meiert Avis, was praised for its haunting portrayal of the Irish countryside and old Irish traditions.
