愛爾蘭天團〔U2〕──另類搖滾抒情經典──擴及人類大愛的〔One／一〕



＜One＞
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
When its one need
In the night
One love
We get to share it
Leaves you baby if you
Dont 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 its

Too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
Were one, but were not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other
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

Did I ask too much?
More than a lot.
You gave me nothing,
Now its all I got
Were one
But were not the same
Well we
Hurt each other
Then we do it again
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 cant be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt

One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But were not the same
We get to
Carry each other
Carry each other

One

１９９１年秋末  愛爾蘭超級樂團U2推出冠軍大碟〔Achtung Baby／當心！寶貝〕
這個被譽為８０年代最佳搖滾代言人的愛爾蘭天團對９０年代第一張作品自然不會掉以輕心
〔Achtung Baby〕的主題是〔愛〕　但並非只是單純局限在男女情愛
而是包含了愛情　親情　友情　對國家　對世界的各種情感
而且也涉及政治　社會　愛滋病　同性戀　性愛等旁支
〔Achtung Baby〕氣勢磅礡　言簡意賅　乾淨不矯情
而且樂風繁複　融合了搖滾　龐克　靈魂　藍調　福音與愛爾蘭民謠等等
滾石給了它四顆半星近乎完美的評價
也難怪葛萊美對U2這麼青睞
〔Achtung Baby〕美國銷售八白金　全球１７００萬
隔年並為U２得到葛萊美最佳搖滾團體
〔Achtung Baby〕的前兩支主打〔The Fly／飛翔〕（UK＃１ US ＃６１）與〔Mysterious Ways／神秘方式〕（UK＃１３　US＃９）

U２推出第三首單曲〔One／一〕
〔One〕可說是專輯所要表達主題的縮影
神對世人的愛是一致的　一個人做錯　可以向耶穌懺悔
藉此擺脫心中某種程度的負擔
膚色　文化　語言　風俗　性別　性向雖然不同
但只要心中有愛便能一致
Bono藉這首歌曲表達對神的敬意　那就是愛只有一種：

"One Love, One Blood, One Life"

U２吉他手 The Edges冷峻卻急速的指法再次淋漓盡致的演出
不過Bono投入的詮釋與細緻的電子編曲卻賦予〔One〕一種非常溫暖感人的和煦感
此曲在１９９２年5月得到英國榜＃７　

美國流行榜＃１０（現代搖滾榜冠王　主流搖滾＃１　成人抒情＃２４　舞曲銷售＃４４）

愛爾蘭冠軍　紐西蘭＃３　澳洲＃４　荷蘭＃１２　法國＃１３　加拿大榜＃１９　瑞士＃２５
年終成績也很出色　分別是Pop ＃６０　 現代搖滾榜年終冠軍　主流搖滾＃７
在滾石雜誌選出史上５００首最偉大的歌曲中
這是U２排名最高的一首（＃３６）
但在 Q 雜誌的票選中則是史上冠軍
２００５年LIVE８上 U２就表演這首歌
２００５年　美國黑人歌姬瑪麗布萊姬在自己專輯〔The Breakthrough／突破〕與U2重唱此曲　拿到歐洲＃３　英國＆愛爾蘭亞軍　美國＃６４

並在２００６年初的葛萊美獎典禮上共同表演

隔年並提名葛萊美最佳流行組合
〔One〕是U２的經典之一　也是他們音樂中我印象最深的一首
以前只是單純喜歡此曲優美的旋律
不過等了解〔One〕所要傳達的意義後
每次欣賞時總覺得格外感人
