day 192: Bad

Bad, by U2.

This song has been on one list or another for years. I don’t think I ever learned it on guitar as a teenager, though it seems pretty simple now, honestly! It’s a little, uh, emo for karaoke, I guess? So I’d probably never sung it end to end without the record until now.

Kinda feel like I got the guitar parts right, if a little extra muddled with reverb. The second vocal isn’t totally necessary, but there were a few obvious moments where it covered up some errors.

Also, did I record this U2 song before the England-Italy Euros final to jinx the English? Maybe. Maybe I did. Maybe. Maybe yes. Yes. Yes I did.

Worth noting: My cover is only 7 seconds longer than the record.
