Listening Framework (Johnny Cash Version)
Starting off by talking about the Lyrics of the song and how the two singers Bono and Johnny Cash
differ. Bono's voice tends to be higher pitched and more emotional where as Cash's voice was more
monotone and consistent throughout the song. The melodies differ just in that Cash's version is
consistent and not very deep. U2's version adds more and more depth as the song goes on with more
instruments becoming prominent in the song. Another difference between the two songs is the overall
speed. You can get a sense of the U2 version speeding up over time as the song goes on, but with Johnny Cash's version it's the exact same all the way through. I tend to like the U2 version of the song more just
because it does feel deeper. All the instrumentation really works well together to give you that complete
song. I don't feel like that about the Johnny Cash version, I do like it, it's just that it very simple and
gives the message within the song a blunt point in my opinion.
