U2 "One" Bono & The Edge. Tribute to Nelson Mandela "46664" Concert, 2003

#U2 #One #46664 #Mandela #CapeTown #SouthAfrica #2003 Tribute to Nelson Mandela, Cape Town, South Africa, Nov. 2003 Is it getting better Or do you feel the same? Will it make it easier on you now? You got someone to blame You say one love, one life (One life) It's one need in the night One love (one love), get to share it Leaves you darling, if you don't care for it Did I disappoint you? Or leave a bad taste in your mouth? You act like you never had love And you want me to go without Well it's too late, tonight To drag the past out into the light We're one, but we're not the same We get to carry each other Carry each other One, one One, one One, one One, one Have you come here for forgiveness? Have you come to raise the dead? Have you come here to play Jesus? To the lepers in your head Well, did I ask too much, more than a lot? You gave me nothing, now it's all I got We're one, but we're not the same See we hurt each other, then we do it again You say love is a temple, love is a higher law Love is a temple, love is a higher law You ask me of me to enter, but then you make me crawl And I can't keep holding on to what you got, 'cause all you got is hurt One love One blood One life You got to do what you should One life With each other Sisters and my brothers One life But we're not the same We get to carry each other, carry each other One, one One, one One One love, one life ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bono explained the meaning of this song to Rolling Stone in 2005: "It's a father-and-son story. I tried to write about someone I knew who was coming out and was afraid to tell his father. It's a religious father and son... I have a lot of gay friends, and I've seen them screwed up from unloving family situations, which just are completely anti-Christian. If we know anything about God, it's that God is love. That's part of the song. And then it's also about people struggling to be together, and how difficult it is to stay together in this world, whether you're in a band or a relationship." The line "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers" was voted the UK's favorite song lyric in a 2006 poll by music channel VH1. Anyone thinking of using this at their wedding might want to reconsider. "'One' is not about oneness, it's about difference," Bono points out in the book U2 by U2. "It is not the old hippie idea of 'Let's all live together.' It is a much more punk rock concept. It's anti-romantic: 'We are one, but we're not the same. We get to carry each other.' It's a reminder that we have no choice. I'm still disappointed when people hear the chorus line as 'we've got to' rather than 'we get to carry each other.' Because it is resigned, really. It's not: 'Come on everybody, let's vault over the wall.' Like it or not, the only way out of here is if I give you a leg up the wall and you pull me after you. There's something very unromantic about that. The song is a bit twisted, which is why I could never figure out why people want it at their weddings. I have certainly met a hundred people who've had it at their weddings. I tell them, 'Are you mad? It's about splitting up!'" The Edge offers his take: "The lyric was the first in a new, more intimate style. It's two ideas, essentially. On one level it's a bitter, twisted, vitriolic conversation between two people who've been through some nasty, heavy stuff: 'We hurt each other, then we do it again.' But on another level there's the idea that 'we get to carry each other.' 'Get to' is the key. 'Got to' would be too obvious and platitudinous. 'Get to' suggests it is our privilege to carry one another. It puts everything in perspective and introduces the idea of grace. Still, I wouldn't have played it at any wedding of mine." ⭐
