"One" is a song by Irish stone band U2. It is the third track from their 1991 anthology Achtung Baby, and it was released equally the record's third single in February 1992. During the album'south recording sessions at Hansa Studios in Berlin, conflict arose between the band members over the direction of U2's audio and the quality of their cloth. Tensions almost prompted the ring to break up until they accomplished a breakthrough with the improvisation of "One"; the vocal was written after the band members were inspired past a chord progression that guitarist the Edge was playing in the studio. The lyrics, written by lead vocaliser Bono, were inspired by the band members' fractured relationships and the German reunification. Although the lyrics ostensibly depict "disunity", they accept been interpreted in other ways.

"Ane" was released as a benefit single, with proceeds going towards AIDS research. The vocal topped the Irish Singles Charts, the Canadian RPM Summit Singles chart and the US Billboard Anthology Stone Tracks and Modernistic Rock Tracks charts. It also peaked at number 3 in New Zealand, number four in Commonwealth of australia, number seven on the UK Singles Chart and number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. In promotion of the vocal, the band filmed several music videos, although they were non pleased until a tertiary was created.

The song was acclaimed past critics upon its release, and information technology has since been featured in polls of the greatest songs of all time. U2 has performed "Ane" at nearly of their tour concerts since the song's live debut in 1992, and it has appeared in many of the band'due south concert films. In a live setting, "Ane" is oft used by the grouping to promote human rights or social justice causes, and the vocal lends its namesake to Bono's charitable organisation, the One Campaign. In 2005, U2 re-recorded the song every bit role of a duet with R&B recording artist Mary J. Blige on her album The Breakthrough.

Writing and recording [edit]

In October 1990, U2 arrived in Berlin on the eve of German reunification to brainstorm the recording sessions for Achtung Baby at Hansa Studios.[ane] Expecting to be inspired past a "New Europe" and the reuniting metropolis, the band instead plant the mood to be bleak and soon conflict arose over their musical direction and the quality of their material. While bassist Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. preferred a sound like to U2'due south previous work, vocalizer Bono and guitarist the Border were inspired by European industrial and electronic dance music of the fourth dimension and were advocating a alter.[1] The band too had difficulty developing demos and musical ideas into completed songs.[1] Bono and the Edge believed the lack of progress was the fault of the band, while Clayton and Mullen believed the problem was the quality of the songs.[1] Mullen said he "idea this might exist the end" of the ring.[1]

"At the instant we were recording information technology, I got a very stiff sense of its ability. We were all playing together in the large recording room, a huge, eerie ballroom full of ghosts of the war, and everything fell into place. It was a reassuring moment, when everyone finally went, 'oh great, this album has started.' Information technology'south the reason yous're in a ring – when the spirit descends upon yous and you create something truly affecting. 'One' is an incredibly moving piece. It hits directly into the center."

—The Edge, on the recording of "One"[1]

Ultimately, a breakthrough in the sessions was achieved. While jamming on a vocal chosen "Sick Puppy"—an early version of "Mysterious Ways"—the band tried different chord progressions for the bridge.[i] [2] The jam stopped and the Border tried playing them lone on an acoustic guitar, as "everyone was trying to make up one's mind if they were any skilful."[ii] At the suggestion of producer Daniel Lanois, the Edge played two split up sections sequentially. The ring liked the way it flowed and decided to play information technology together. Speaking of the improvisation, the Edge said, "suddenly something very powerful [was] happening in the room."[2] He added, "Anybody recognized it was a special piece. It was similar we'd caught a glimpse of what the song could be."[3] Soon afterwards, the band had adult the slice of music into "I".[1] [4] Bono recalls that "the melody, the structure—the whole thing was washed in 15 minutes".[5] He too stated that the lyrics "just cruel out of the sky, a gift"; the concept was inspired by the band members' fracturing relationships, the German reunification,[vii] and Bono's scepticism of the hippie idea of "oneness". Bono later sent a annotation to the Dalai Lama declining an invitation to a festival called Oneness, incorporating a line from the song: "1—only non the aforementioned".[1] The song's writing inspired the band and changed their outlook on the recording sessions. Mullen said the vocal reaffirmed the band'south "blank page approach" to recording and reassured the band that all was non lost.[1]

"In that location was melancholy about it only there was likewise strength. One is not nigh oneness, it's about difference. It'southward not the one-time hippie thought of 'let's all live together.' It is a much more punk rock concept. It's anti-romantic: 'we are one only not the same. Nosotros get to carry each other.' It's a reminder that we have no pick. I'k notwithstanding disappointed when people hear the chorus line as 'got to' rather than 'we get to comport each other.' Similar it or not, the only way out of here is if I give you a leg upward the wall and you pull me later you. There's something very unromantic about that.

—Bono, on the recording of "One"[8]

Following the song's initial improvisation, tapes of the recording sessions were delivered to profitable producer Brian Eno to gather his input;[5] Eno spent extended periods of fourth dimension away from the sessions before visiting to review songs, and he believed that distancing himself from the work allowed him to provide the ring with a fresh perspective on their cloth each fourth dimension he rejoined them.[9] The ring were rather anxious well-nigh the quality of their material, but when Eno arrived in Berlin, they were surprised to hear that he liked nearly of the tapes.[5] Still, equally Bono recalls, Eno said, "There's just one song I really despise, and that's 'I'."[five] Eno felt that they needed to deconstruct the song.[5]

The band returned to Dublin in 1991 to record at the "Elsinore" mansion on the Dalkey coastline.[10] The band continued to work on the song there, adding diverse overdubs, simply non finding a mix they were satisfied with.[five] The Border thought that they had the foundation for the song, but that information technology needed "foreground".[5] Eno interceded, explaining to the group that "1" was among the sessions' tracks in which "The vocal has gone, any it is you liked virtually this song is not there anymore", and that the track had "disappeared under layers of overdubs".[9] He created his own mix, which gave the ring a better idea of an organisation they liked.[v] Eno wanted the ring to remove the melancholy elements of the song and persuaded them to remove the acoustic guitar from the song.[1] He as well worked with Lanois and the Edge to "undermine the 'too cute' feeling", which is why they added the "crying guitar parts that have an aggression to them".[1] While working with Lanois in the studio on a vocal overdub, Bono suggested Lanois "play a little guitar role to try and juice [him] up". Lanois afterward took Bono's green Gretsch guitar and played a hammer-on part that was included in the terminal version of the song.[11]

Flood, the sessions' engineer, was unconvinced by the song's mix, saying he "was the nagging agnostic. I always felt information technology was a flake direct, until we did the final mix."[5] The final mix was completed at Windmill Lane Studios in September 1991 on the final night of the anthology's recording sessions,[5] [10] when some concluding infinitesimal additions were made. Bono did not similar a line in the vocals and spent about of the day re-recording information technology.[5] Later, after the song'southward mix had just been completed by the production squad, the Border came upward with a guitar function he wanted to add to the song'south stop almost the lyric "Love is a temple".[5] [ten] Afterwards convincing the production team to allow the add-on, the Edge played the part once and had information technology mixed in ten minutes later.[10]

Limerick [edit]

"One" is a rock ballad played in a 4/iv time signature at a tempo of 91 beats per infinitesimal. The verse follows a chord progression of Am–D5–Fmaj7–Thou while the chorus follows C–Am–Fmaj7–C.[12]

Bono described the song'due south theme as such: "It is a vocal nigh coming together, just it's not the old hippie idea of 'Let's all live together.' It is, in fact, the opposite. It's maxim, Nosotros are one, but we're not the same. Information technology'south not proverb nosotros even desire to get along, only that we have to become forth together in this earth if information technology is to survive. It'due south a reminder that we accept no option".[13] The Border described information technology on one level as a "bitter, twisted, vitriolic conversation between 2 people who've been through some nasty, heavy stuff".[fourteen] On some other level, he suggested that the line "we get to carry each other" introduces "grace" to the song and that the diction "get to" (instead of "got to") is essential, as information technology suggests that it is a privilege to help i another, not an obligation.[14] The band have been told by many fans that they played the song at their weddings, prompting Bono to respond, "Are you mad? It's almost splitting up!"[xiv] There was some speculation that the song described a chat betwixt a male parent and his HIV-positive gay son, based on the connection of the vocal to David Wojnarowicz, a gay artist who died of AIDS.[15] In 2005, Bono said "It's a male parent-and-son story. I tried to write about someone I knew who was coming out and was agape to tell his father. It'southward a religious male parent and son."[16]

Release [edit]

"I" was released as the anthology's third single on 24 February 1992 as a benefit unmarried, with all of the ring's royalties being donated to different AIDS inquiry organisations for each land in which the single was released.[17] [eighteen] [19] The group's managing director Paul McGuinness commented on their decision: "The band feels that [AIDS] is the most pressing issue of the solar day, and we actually accept to focus people's attending to the AIDS plague that has been with u.s.a. for 10 years."[xviii] To promote safety sex, U2 sold condoms begetting the album title Achtung Infant at their Zoo Tv set Tour concerts.[xix] The cover of the single release is a photograph past David Wojnarowicz. The photo depicts buffaloes falling off a cliff after being chased by Native American hunters.[nineteen] The unmarried's liner notes explicate that Wojnarowicz "identifies himself and ourselves with the buffalo, pushed into the unknown by forces we cannot control or fifty-fifty empathise".[20]

The single reached number seven in the UK Singles Nautical chart, number ten in the US Billboard Hot 100, and number one on the US Album Rock Tracks[21] and Modern Rock Tracks charts.[22]

Music videos [edit]

Three music videos were created for "One". The first, directed by Anton Corbijn, was filmed in Berlin and features the band members performing at Hansa Studios interspersed with footage of Trabants (an Eastward High german automobile they became fond of every bit a symbol for a changing Europe) and shots of them dressed in drag. Bono explained that the idea to crossdress "had been based on the idea that if U2 tin't do this, nosotros've got to do it!", and information technology was fostered by the group'southward experiences dressing in elevate for the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.[23] However, the band pulled the video, fearing the single's status equally an AIDS do good would result in critics finding AIDS-related interpretations of the video. The Edge explained, "We didn't want to be involved in putting dorsum the AIDS issue into the realm of sexuality... Information technology wasn't worth the risk of people imagining we were saying something near the AIDS issue through the elevate footage, which was totally non what we were trying to say."[24]

The second video was directed by Marker Pellington. Information technology comprises images of blooming flowers, the championship give-and-take in several languages, and slow-motility footage of buffaloes running, leading upwards to Wojnarowicz's "Falling Buffalo" photo. Much like for the start video, the ring did not believe Pellington's video would be expert for promoting the unmarried.[25]

The group filmed a third video in an endeavour to appeal to a broader audience. Information technology was directed by Rattle and Hum manager Phil Joanou and was primarily filmed in early March 1992 at Nell's, a Manhattan nightclub.[25] [26] The video depicts Bono sitting at a table smoking a cheroot and drinking beer, interspersed with footage of the band performing in concert.[26] While Bono was filmed, the balance of the band, along with models and transvestites, attended a party in the basement, awaiting their turns to exist filmed. All the same, they were never called to the set and by 3 a.k., they realised that the video was to focus on Bono.[27]

Reception [edit]

In 1994, a fan wrote the vocal's lyrics on the sidewalk leading up to Windmill Lane Studios in blue chalk.

After the release of Achtung Baby, critics praised "One". In its review of the album, Entertainment Weekly called the song "bitter and unprecedentedly emotional" and opined that its "extravagant stylings and wild emotings [...] put information technology among Bono's nearly dramatic moments on record".[28] In its review of the anthology, Rolling Rock chosen the song a "radiant carol", noting that "Few bands can marshal such sublime power, but it's simply one of the many moments on Achtung Babe when we're reminded why, earlier these guys were the barrel of cynical jokes, they were stone & curlicue heroes—as they however are."[29] Niall Stokes of Hot Press gave an enthusiastic review of the song, calling it one of the album's tracks "whose authority defies equivocations". Stokes said the song, both upon initial and repeated listens, "seems transcendent, a magnificent synthesis of elements, words and music, rhythm, instrumentation arrangement and intonation combine to create something that speaks a linguistic communication beyond logic, the definitive linguistic communication of emotional truth". He said the melody was reminiscent of Led Zeppelin and the vocals evoked memories of Al Green and the Rolling Stones circa "Sympathy for the Devil". Stokes could non single out what fabricated the song and so "utterly inspirational", merely said it was "soul music that avoids the obvious cliches of the genre and cuts to the core".[30]

Q called Bono'southward singing on the song a "quieter moment" that has "never been so persuasively tender".[31] The Chicago Tribune wrote that the song "builds with the stately grandeur of a Roy Orbison ballad" and that Bono'south lyric "We're one / But we're non the same" is one of "pithiest insights yet most the contradiction of marriage".[32] The Orlando Picket chosen the track "sorrowful" and compared it to music by the Rolling Stones.[33] Robert Hilburn of the Los Angeles Times called the "disillusioned" track one of the album'south high points.[34] Denise Sullivan of Allmusic wrote that the song was "among U2'southward finest recordings", and she praised its "lyrical simplicity, heart-rending song commitment, and evocative instrumentation". She called the Edge'southward guitar playing "unusually warm and soulful".[35] In the 1992 Pazz & Jop critics' poll in The Village Vocalization, "One" placed at number eight on the "All-time Single" list.[36]

In 1992, Axl Rose told RIP mag: "I recall their song 'One' is one of the greatest songs e'er written. At present I can meet and empathize why people were into U2 years ago."[37]

Live performances [edit]

"One" fabricated its live debut on 29 February 1992 in Lakeland, Florida on the opening night of the Zoo TV Tour,[38] and information technology was played at every subsequent testify on U2'due south concert tours until the get-go show of the Innocence + Experience Tour in Vancouver, where it was not played for the first time in its history. Notwithstanding, the song returned for the following concert, when it was used equally the show closer.[39] Zoo TV performances were accompanied past footage from the second music video being displayed on the stage'south video screens, with David Wojnarowicz's "Falling Buffalo" photograph appearing at the end of the song.[40]

The song took on an fifty-fifty more emotional meaning at a Popmart Tour show at Mexico City in 1997, as featured on PopMart: Live from United mexican states City, where the tearful rendition was defended to Michael Hutchence of INXS. Until the 2d leg of the U2 360° Tour, "One" was played live in the fundamental of A ♭ small-scale, while the recorded version is played a semitone higher. Throughout its history, Bono has ofttimes sung the song with an extra verse by and large known equally "Hear Us Coming", whose lyrics are usually some variation of:

You hear the states coming Lord?
You hear u.s.a. phone call?
You lot hear us knocking, knocking at Your door?
Yous hear us coming, Lord?
You hear us telephone call?
Y'all hear us scratching, will Y'all make me crawl?

Information technology was a virtually-regular feature on the Zoo TV Bout, PopMart, and Summit Tours, but was sung less ofttimes on the Vertigo Tour. The verse made a re-emergence on the 2009 legs of the U2 360° Tour; although it was not a nightly feature, Bono sang information technology very often, segueing into "Astonishing Grace" and from in that location into "Where the Streets Have No Proper name" on near of the second leg. "One" has as well been played at several benefit concerts, including the 1995 Pavarotti and Friends concert in Modena, the 1997 Tibetan Freedom Concert in New York, the 2003 46664 concert, at Live eight in 2005, and with Mary J. Blige on Shelter from the Storm: A Concert for the Gulf Coast.

Live performances of the vocal are also depicted in the concert films Zoo TV: Live from Sydney, U2 Go Home: Live from Slane Castle, Vertigo 2005: Live from Chicago, U2 3D, and U2 360° at the Rose Basin.

Legacy [edit]

"'Ane' [...] is certainly a breakup song. But it's likewise very much about the duty to stay together, about finding some kind of connexion in times of war, fragmentation, plague, poverty and cultural difference. Nearly beingness too cynical to believe in the hippie version of global oneness, but too much of a laic to turn down it."

—Blender

"One" has often appeared on lists of the greatest songs. In 2004, Rolling Stone placed the song at number 36 on its list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", making it the highest-ranked U2 song;[41] it remained in that position on the magazine'due south 2010 version of the list,[42] merely was re-ranked to 62nd on the 2021 version.[43] In 2003, a special edition outcome of Q, titled "1001 All-time Songs Ever", named "One" the greatest song of all-fourth dimension.[44] VH1 ranked the song 2nd on its list of "Greatest Songs of the 90s",[45] and voters in an April 2006 poll on VH1 named the song as having the Great britain'due south number-one lyric: "I life, with each other, sisters, brothers".[46] In 2005, Blender ranked the vocal at number four on its list of "The 500 Greatest Songs Since Yous Were Born".[3] The following year, readers of Q voted "One" the fifth-greatest song in history.[47] The vocal subsequently appeared as one of 7 U2 songs in the 2006 music reference book 1001 Songs: The Great Songs of All Fourth dimension and the Artists, Stories, and Secrets.[48] Information technology is included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll.[49]
