Sing to the King / U2 intro

[linda77singer]

I enjoyed the creativity of this version. I do have a comment that I hope will be helpful. I'm the worship leader at my church, and also have a Voice Studio where I train singers. The reason it sounds a bit flat is because this key of E you are doing is too low for you, the lead male singer - the low B is even disappearing. The key of E is fine for a female. If you did it in, say, G, it would have much more sparkle and punch. Hope this helps! Great instrumentals!.

Hey guys:  Thank you for your creativity with this song...I shared a video response with you - not sure if it is going to pop up, but your rendition gave us a springboard to run with the U2 idea. Thank you again!

Song well done. It is such a joy to sing to the King and bring joy to Him.

Way to lead the congregation.

P.s. whoever wrote comment to btofan, don't overdo the speaking blessing thing, sometimes a critcal comment can bring a blessing. Take it to heart and keep praising God

If you ignore the "comment trolls" they will go away.

Bands have bounced off each other for as long as I can remember. As a guitar player, I pickup ideas of style and techniqiue. It's a universal thing in all forms of music. I love "The Edge" and his playing style. I bet he's tickled and flattered we emulate him. Along with that I also search for my own creative style. So, go for it guys. As far as the flatness - I suggest working on miking technique - or mix from the board for your recording.

btofan: your comment is not cool. "if you don't have anything nice to say- don't say anything at all." The most important part of "worshiping Jesus" is our heart. Not judging and speaking life and kind words over others should be our first act of worship.

@criskerr hey you btofan is right! i heard shurch's using u2 songs for worship! Now where is Jesus mentioned in any U2 songs? 1 where the Fword was used right after it. Bono is even against using U2 songs and music in church. the focus is not on Christ its on the music and the style and the performance. Shame on you!

[caribbeanguy007]

check this song Jesus name is mentioned



[rianpop]

@caribbeanguy007 That's not my point. the point is that more churches are going that route.

[btofan]

This is becoming a real problem with worship bands. Their focus is on sounding like U2 or some other "flavor of the month" band instead of truly worshiping Jesus. Your timing is off, the vocals are flat and you have failed miserably.

sounds cool - U2 kinda does the intro in more of a 3/4 timing, then goes to 4/4 timing when the verses and chorus kick in. It's a good attempt to jack a nice a riff (I mean this in a good way lol...) but if u really wanna make it legit, try the 3/4 thing for the riff - it's tricky to have all the musicians do it right, but worth it IMO!

[CrumpledMount]

...So the intro is 1/2 in 3/4 half in 4/4 - just wanna clarify that lol. And if it's possible, get ur lead guitar to do dotted eigth notes on his delay (if he has a delay that can do that...if he doesn't, there's a site somewhere that can calculate the tempo of dotted eigth notes using quarter notes...pretty crazy stuff). It's one of the easiest things to play once u get that delay goin - intro will sound much tighter, less sloppy ;)

[FilmerOfBobcats]

Beautiful! I love the harmonizing of their voices.

[sethamicone]

It could just be the audio quality, but that really didn't sound like he did it right.

[GuitarFool1569]

Awesome! Love the combo... I bet everyone there was thinking that they were going to jump into "Where The Streets Have No Name" and they dropped the curve ball on them! Love it! good combo and respectful

[DiscoBuiscuit]

U2 intro? For what song?

[cheerleadingchick9]

I absolutly LOVE this song!!! God bless you and your church! ;-)

[varfordogjesus]

Nice played. Praise God, Praise Jesus!!!! My love to you and your church.

[HaloMasterMind]

yes!!!

[Ralqh]

for the intro, i'd go for more of a synth pad sound instead of the organ like sound and a strat guitar would help a lot.

[AllPraiseToGod]
