U2 - Ultra Violet (Light My Way) | The Achtung Baby 30 Cover Project | 10 | October 2021

Well, after a little summer break, we have arrived at the release of the cover of the 10th Achtung baby song which also recorded last year. This is one of my personal favorite from the album: 'Ultra Violet (Light My Way)'. To cover the song, we used the live version recorded at The Rose Bowl in 2009, and also isolated Bono's vocal line from there.
This was the last cover in this project in which our Polish friend Aleksander played guitar. I would like to thank him for his cooperation and looking forward to other future collaborations! There are two more songs left from the Achtung Baby 30 Cover Project, they are 'Acrobat' and 'Love Is Blindness', which are soon will be done and released. The last song will be completed no later than the 31st anniversary of the Achtung Baby record on 18th of November 2022, where the entire project will be compiled into one part.

Let's celebrate the 30th Anniversary of U2's 7th epos called Achtung Baby.
We created this project to play the whole album through 2021. There are 12 songs on the album and there are 12 months in the year. What else could we say? Stay tuned and search for the other songs here on YouTube.

U2 - Ultra Violet (Light My Way) | The Achtung Baby 30 Cover Project | 10 | October 2021

"Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" is a song by Irish rock band U2, and the tenth track from their 1991 album Achtung Baby. Ostensibly about love and dependency, the song also lends itself to religious interpretations, with listeners finding allusions to the Book of Job and writers finding spiritual meaning in its invocation of the light spectrum.

The song's composition and recording incorporate both serious and throwaway elements, in keeping with the rest of Achtung Baby. While not released as a single, the song has appeared in two films and a U2 business venture was named after it. "Ultraviolet" played a featured role during the encores of the group's 1992–1993 Zoo TV Tour, 2009–2011 U2 360° Tour, and the Joshua Tree Tour 2017.

"Ultraviolet (Light My Way)" began as two different demos, one variously called "Ultraviolet" and "69" (which eventually evolved into the B-side "Lady with the Spinning Head") and an alternately arranged demo called "Light My Way". Over the course of the recording sessions, U2 added various overdubs to the song, but producer Brian Eno believed these additions negatively impacted the track. Eno aided the group in editing down the song, and he explained his assistance as such: "I'd go in and say, 'The song has gone, whatever it is you liked about this song is not there anymore. Sometimes, for example, the song would have disappeared under layers of overdubs."
