Hey There!
I think that I heard One for the first time around the beginning of February 2015. I was just listening to Shinedown's full digital albums that they had put onto Spotify, and when One came up, I really loved the song. Originally, I didn't actually know that Shinedown only covered it, and that's why it was called One - Clear Channel Stripped. Afterwards, I listened to the original version by U2, and also, some other top covers, such as Johnny Cash.
The song just seems so powerful, and that is probably because of it being stripped down to just Brent's voice and a guitar. For once, I don't think that I have a favourite part of this song. Instead, I love it as a whole, and I think that every part of the song links together very well to sound like a masterpiece altogether!
From looking at other people's interpretations of One, it is not set in stone what the meaning is about, which means that it is open to anyone's creativity. Personally, I see it more as two people who love each other dearly, but their relationship is failing, and everytime that they come back to each other during a moment of weakness, they can't help but feel angry, hurt, and most of all, confused. Not really much of a relatable song to my life, but nice anyway!
I do actually remember that I played One on the guitar a while ago, although I have no idea where I found those chords from. Anyway, I hope to see you all again soon!
I'll see you all next Thursday!

P.S. I'll leave the lyrics to One down below incase you're interested!
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 it's one need, in the night,
One love, we get to share it,
It leaves you, baby, and 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,
Well we 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 it's all I got,
We're one, but we're not the same.
Well, we hurt each other,
And we do it again.
You say "Love is a temple, love a higher law,
Love is a temple, love the higher law."
You asked me to enter, and then you made me crawl,
But I can't keep 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 we're not the same,
We get to carry each other, carry each other...
One...
One... (yeah-ah)
