U2- ONE

One of the best songs ever written.

Bono described the song as such: "It is a song about coming together, but it's not the old hippie idea of 'Let's all live together.' It is, in fact, the opposite. It's saying, We are one, but we're not the same. It's not saying we even want to get along, but that we have to get along together in this world if it is to survive. It's a reminder that we have no choice". The band has mentioned that many people tell them they have played "One" at their weddings, prompting Bono to respond, "Are you mad? It's about splitting up!"

Think this song has so many meanings to all different people, its where ever our hearts and feelings are at that moment of hearing it, great song, love his words and how he sings it..means quite sentimental things to me..
