Q Magazine’s tribute to U2’s 20-year-old Achtung Baby has been a fulfilling project thus far, recruiting staple indie-rock artists such as The Killers and Jack White to record covers of their favorite tracks from the album. The Killers do a great job covering U2’s driving rock ballad “Ultraviolet (Light My Way),” and lead singer Brandon Flowers makes a very believable Bono, hitting the top half of his register with seeming ease. Listen to the song below.
