Last week I came up with a groovy little chord progression, built around tight clusters of notes on the top three strings of my guitar. Very unsettled, jazzy<\/em>, and fun to play. But it needed just a little something. Something was missing. I needed a little hook or a sting or something to make it pop. And I spent all weekend trying to find just the right little tweak. I tried adding a bass line, a second guitar. Some snappy percussion. And then I found it! I needed this one little five note lick at the end. DeeDeeDee Dee Deeeee.<\/p>\n

And then a vocal line popped into my head! Holy crap. And then words!<\/p>\n

And then... a voice.<\/p>\n

It was Bono's voice.<\/p>\n

I'd accidentally figured out a Muzak version of the closing bit from the Red Rocks version of 11 O'Clock Tick Tock.<\/em><\/p>\n
