U2 - MLK
"Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him
Mmm...mmm...mmm...
So let it be
Mmm...mmm...mmm...
So let it be
Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain on him"
I've been thinking of what to do next processing with my bass. Finally, I decided to MLK, because this song is also given the opportunity for me to try out my synthesizer.
My father gave me a Casio CTK- 451 synth. This synth is really good that the man begins to learn key. However, by the POD GX Studio very special sounds can bring out of it. From hundreds of effects of the "A & E " stood for MLK to all the time. I had set a bit the compressor and the low- medium- and high sounds too.
The bass guitar speaks for itself. Clear line-in bass with some compressor. There is no distortion, echo or delay. I think it's the best.
The combined effect of the chimes and cymbals with a completely new thing in this song. In the original song there are only synthesizers and Bono. I hope you did not take so much of the feel of the song in a completely different direction. In the background can be heard a faint breeze refers to cold, that means Martin Luther King died senselessly on cold April morning. But his spirit will continue to live and aspirations.
The song was performed by U2's 1984 concert in Dortmund, I chose this as the base for my cover.
