U2, Mary J Blige - One [Extended Mollem Studios Remix]

On September 10, 2005 U2 contributed to the Hurricane Katrina benefit DVD, “Shelter from the Storm: A Concert for the Gulf Coast”. Their contribution was performed live from the Air Canada Centre in Toronto Canada, where they were rehersing for the third leg of the Vertigo Tour. As a special bonus, Mary J. Blige appeared with them to sing “One” on that telethon. That performance was released as a concert DVD and features the original version of this song. For her album “The Breakthrough”, Mary J. Blige took this base performance from September 2005, and added additional strings and vocals, as well as other additional music. The song was edited down to a “Single Edit” of the track, and was released in the UK and Europe as a single. In the UK there were two versions of the CD released as a promotional single. Both were released in a slimline jewel case, and both were released with the insert which had a full colour image on the front (not black and white). In the first of these both the album version and the “Radio Edit” of the song were present. The second only contained the “Radio Edit”. U2, Mary J Blige - One - Extended & Remixed @ Mollem Studios Lyrics 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 Leaves you baby 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! 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 nothin' now it's all I got We're one but we're 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 can't be holdin' 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 Songwriters: Paul David Hewson / Adam Clayton / Larry Mullen / Dave Evans #MaryJBlige #U2 #One #Extendedversion #Remix #Maxisingle #12Inch #Vinyl
