[@grommile]

Would love to see the darkside version, those have always been my favourites of theirs.

[@skaldlouiscyphre2453]

I too would love to see one based on their darker material.

[@TheoAndHisPedals]

Yes that’s a good idea, you nailed their poppier stuff so maybe something heavier off of Pornograhy

[@jma6893]

yes, that would be fun to see more of a pornography-era song...

[@robs1873]

That was great, could you show us how to write an Island Boys song?

[@Iver-pr1wo]

If I didnt see you you making this vid I would 100% swear it really was the Cure. WOW, you have every aspect of this spot on, LOVE IT! BTW, the lead is friggin AWESOME!

[@Trycer13]

Please, upload a full version of this... This is amazing.

[@jackmiller1209]

Your videos are always fun and instructive for all of us “musician” types. The mouths on the photographs of the singers are always a most awesome device. Great sound! Favorite U2 track... that’s a tough one because U2 has had many eras and sounds. But here are a few: 1- I will follow 2- two hearts beat as one 3- In God’s Country 4-until the end of the world 5- Lemon 6- Discotheque 7- in a little while I’ll leave it there, I haven’t really followed U2 ‘s work since after the “everything that you can’t leave behind “ album.

[@thebarbaryghostsf]

An Cat Dubh, I don't think they have a better song than that one.

[@bananalabs]

Dude these videos are great! So simple and straight to the point. Love it, Desmond Doom.

[@olicrook4292]

I love this and so want to hear a finished version

[@js2749]

I wish I could create a type of song / music that is so distinctive someone could totally reproduce it almost exactly in one minute, because then I'd be a genius. A bit like The Cure.

[@Vulmen311]

I am here sitting at 3 pm sobbing like a wreck. I lost a friend yesterday and this song even though made in jest put my thoughts so well musically. Thank you for that.

[@SmittenKitten.]

Oh my gosh, no... I'm so, so sorry. I wish I had words that would help instead of clumsy apologies. :(

[@CognitiveDissident.]

This is just a bit of love sent your way from a stranger. Deepest condolences.

Jesus Christ... No matter where you're living or what time it is, I just want to express my deepest condolences. It WILL get better, and I hope you trust me on this!

[@DesmondDoom]

Sorry to hear, mate. Hope you're doing okay.

[@heqitao]

Pretty good man. Followed The Cure from hot Robert to Fat Bob, and they are still one of the greats in my book. This does smash just how simple their songs can be. You have cracked the code and I hope you start working with Bob in the future so that we can hear more =P

[@JP-ve7or]

I have VERY little understanding of music at all, so these videos are kind of fascinating...and educational.

[@doyooncha]

it is so accurate... either it's about his wife or about depression and my fav U2 song ... I can't choose one, I think it's Red Light, or New York, or Exit, or If You Wear That Velvet Dress, or Do You Feel Loved (I really love Pop...)

[@Lakota828]

I'm so glad someone mentioned "Exit"

[@kenweeks9028]

Nailed it. If you want to "Write a U2 song," I'd select their sound in Unforgettable Fire or Joshua Tree -albums that iconic sound is what they are known for. U2 songs are bass driven with The Edge playing echo/reverb guitar in high notes and Bono singing breathy social justice lyrics.

[@TheBcoolGuy]

[@EDziadonIV]

[@hatthewmartley]

"Milky" is such a perfect word to describe that lead sound

[@C19520]

New Year's Day!! and sometimes City Of Blinding Lights tbh Also I really like the (extremely underrated) collab they did with Billie Joe Amerstrong, The Saints Are Coming

[@georgesikorski9891]

Desmond, you have to release these as an album once you have enough of them

Excellent work. Also, I join the chorus singing for more t-shirt info!

[@probablyadaydream]

basic as heck, but i’d say my favorite from U2 is I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For . . lots of childhood memories from my parents playing it

[@julianhermanubis6800]

Very cool work. Funny how you imitate in an authentic way you get a fairly immediate outcome. U2 ... I've always loved "Lemon", always will be my favourite U2 track. Zooropa is a polarising one for many but I love the flow of the album.
