My rediscovery of ONE

Thank goodness,I watched footage from the Live 8 shows,because I was able to watch U2 perform One. omg
I can't believe that I forgot how much this song means to me.Its indescribable the way I'm touched,moved when I listen to this song.If you're not moved when you hear it,I wonder if your heart is working rolleyes
It has got to be one of the top 10 most beautiful songs ever recorded.
And then,of course I listened to the whole Achtung Baby album.Great album!




Oh,by the way is Bono still married,cause he turns me on.wink

Just talking to myself as usual.
Anyway,this part REALLY gets to me.

You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

Next time I listen,I swear I'm going to burst into tears,man.





I forgot,threads about bimbos get more responses.

:yes:

The passage you quoted is one of the most moving moments in their catalog; it's just sheer beauty.

Check out the live versions with the extra verse...

Perhaps folks didn't know what it was about based on the title of the thread.

Very powerful and beautiful song. You must get the Sloan Castle dvd by u2.It is incredible. I showed it to a non-U2 fan over the past weekend and they were blown away. They had no idea how good the band is.

It is a great song nod


I read a story about the making of Achtung Baby recently, and it seems the band were wondering if it was worth carrying on as they couldn't agree on styles and nothing was working right.....and then they wrote One!

Can you imagine getting home from a studio one night and knowing you'd just created a song like that from nothing?
