| has gloss | eng: "Iris" is a song by American alternative rock band the Goo Goo Dolls. Originally written for the soundtrack of 1998 film City of Angels, the song was later included on the bands sixth album Dizzy Up the Girl. The acoustic guitar in the song gives a distinctive sound as it is in an odd tuning, with the bass E string tuned down to B, and the remaining 5 strings tuned to D. This gives a ringing effect similar to a 12-string guitar. "Iris" has contributed greatly to the bands success. It is the longest charting number one single in Billboard Hot 100 Airplay history with 18 weeks in the number one spot. It is considered by many as the band's signature song. |
