[digitize]

That's really awesome

 

[purpleoscar]

That's pretty inspired. "You! Are! A pocketful of sunshine". Now I get it.

 

[Jeannieco]

Whoa, that was great!!!

 

[Drowningman]

That was pretty sweet !!

U2 better get on the ball and release their album version quickly otherwise this one will become a fan favorite.

 

[trojanchick99]

That is pretty sweet.

Wow! That was awesome.

I really like this....but also find it strange to listen to. Any one else find it odd to hear a clean "studio" cover version of a U2 song by a tribute band that you have only heard a muffled concert version of by the real U2?

 

[Sicy]

Haha good point.

Would love to hear a U2 studio version.

 

[BonosLil'Pal94]

Xiren is amazing, live and in the studio!

 

[Zooropa man]

He is the new lead singer for U2JT (cover band here is the southland). I haven't checked him out live but this sounds really good.

yes, it is strange. Nice job on the cover and he is cute too!

He's really good. A few of us caught them in Corona a couple weeks ago. Hopefully they will have some new shows soon.

 

[Yahweh_OMG]

it shows that this song is actually amazing and has a lot of potential. The melody stayed in my head for the whole afternoon

 

[powerhour24]

I gotta say, that came out really well, almost makes me like the song more... something about the timbre of his voice is slightly grating though.

 

[Yahweh]

Very nice...funny that this is the best quality version weve heard and its not even from U2.

 

[topplehatU2]

Not bad, not bad.

 

[bonocomet]

Nice

 

[nielsgov]

That sounds great. I'm impressed.

 

[gherman]

I'm just impressed the song as a whole... love Glastonbury

^

Yeah, me, too. I was singing it to myself today a lot.

 

[jphelmet]

i haven't really liked this song. still mediocre for u2, but this version actually makes me like it better. i am actually looking forward to a studio version after that.

it's growing on me, especially since my 3 yr old son loves it, and sings ' pocket full of sunshine' around the house all the time.

"You are a pocket full of sunshine" sounds so silly yet it's really a catchy phrase, I love to sing it around the house.

 

[cobl04]

can someone please help me, this has been bugging me for ages. what is the old rock song that this riff sounds almost exactly like?

 

[Jeannieco]

Led Zeppelin Whole lotta love?

It sounds a bit like it to me...
Bono said it was Zeppelin ( jimmy page) inspiried since Edge was hangin around him so much for "It might get loud" .
