What began with a gifted 45 copy of The Unforgettable Fire at Christmas of '84, led me to the '87 release of The Joshua Tree - the album which would lead me to purchase my first Strat and attempt to make some sort of noise with it for many decades to come.
I have my son to thank for encouraging me to "play all the instruments" on this cover (rather than programming the drums & bass). It took 5 times longer, but somehow it just felt right to play this song, especially, without the aid of virtual instruments. I did, however, need to use a "shimmer" effect plug-in in order to try and mimic Edge's Infinite Guitar's "string" sound (using an expression pedal to cue it in certain places).
In the end, it was a blast to delve into this piece of art - this unique musical love story like none other I've heard. The nostalgia was so heavy, it brought me to tears on more than one occasion. I'm grateful to have been just 12 when it was released, to have enjoyed it for 30-plus years, and to give it a shot now, as I stare down the big 5-0. What a blessing music is to us mere mortals! I don't think I would have survived as many years as I have on this planet without it.
