MUSIC: Three Tune Tuesday 97 - 3 Songs by U2! - (3 Cover Performances!)

Hello everybody on HIVE, and especially the Music Community. My name is Jasper and I'm writing (and singing) to you from Cape Town in South Africa!

Apologies for the late upload! 3speak failed to encode my video last night so I had to re-upload this morning!

This is my 32nd week contributing to "Three Tune Tuesday", an initiative started by @ablaze. It is week 97 overall! We are getting close to the big 100 - which will be a massive milestone!

In all of my TTT entries I like to play the songs on guitar as well as share the original videos. I have a new pattern for "Three Tune Tuesday" where I pick three songs by one of my favourite artists, that has inspired me - as I also write original songs.

This week I would like to do U2! As an Irish person, I hope @ablaze is a fan - I certainly seem to enjoy playing them, and will probably do a U2-part2 in a few weeks! I'm not even doing "Where The Streets Have No Name" or "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" this time!

Let's kick off with one of the best political protest songs of all time: "Sunday Bloody Sunday", which commemorates a time in Irish history when unarmed protestors were shot by British troops. I'm sure @ablaze is far more familiar with the full story?

Here is the original video:

Then for the second song, let's do the beautiful "All I Want is You"! Here is the original video:

Finally, let's be sure to give you one of U2's most famous songs: "With or Without You"! Actually, in its most basic structure, this song is a four chord miracle (1st major, 5th major, 6th minor, 4th major) and so it is an easy enough song for all you other musicians to learn - the trick is finding a comfortable key where you can start low and go high later? Hahaha!

Here is the original video:

So that's week 97 done and dusted! I hope you enjoyed the U2 songs! Would you like a U2-part2 soon? Which song was your favourite?

Apologies again for the late upload! Hopefully 3speak is back on track now!

Which artist will I do three covers of next week?

Before I go... please look out for my weekly cover request post on Thursdays! If you make a song request in the comments, and then I attempt the song, you get rewarded with 50% of that post's rewards in HP! It's as simple as that!
