Which ending of One do you prefer?

[U2girl]

The old or the new?

*edited to add for American prayer and 46664.

I voted the third option :x

I know, I know...it's a bit of a cop-out. But the reason being, is that while I really like all the ZooTV performances with the former ending, my favorite performance of "One" is from the Special Olympics. I had never heard the "no them, there's only us" ending before, and it just sounded so awesome! Plus I find it a wee bit more uplifting.

So yeeeeeeaaaaah, to sum it up: If I had the option of deciding which ending the band would play, I'd say "here us coming love." However, due to my favorite performance of the song being at the Special Olympics with the "no them, there's only us" ending, I honestly, really, truly cannot decide which is *my* favorite ending to the song.




^^^^ far too many words than what was needed. i like to ramble

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I liked both, too.

However...I think I favor the "No them, there's only us" a little more, simply because it added to one of many meanings of this song.

Plus, it got me all emotional, which, while I love "One", had never happened to me before when I listened to it, and therefore caused me to appreciate the song even more than I already did.

Hmm, I always thought he said "Here us coming Lord.."

I like the new version "No them, there's only us" better.

 

[Axver]

I thought it was "hear us coming Lord" ...

 

[Schmeg]

I thought it was Lord too, and that's the one I voted for.

 

[Whats The Story?]

By FAR my favourite is the "Walk On" snippet added to end of "One. genius!

 

[adamswildhoney]

both

 

[tiny dancer]

I thought it was Lord too, and that's the one I voted for.

You're right Schmeg. Just got done listening to a U2 boot, and that's what Bono is singing. I voted for this one too.

 

[typhoon]

I thought it was "hear us coming Lord" ...

He might say both, depending on the performance.

I didn't vote because I haven't heard the newer ending; how long have they been playing it?

 

[U2girl]

They played it on Special olympics, Bono solo in Modena and now, at 46664 event.

 

[larry_slo]

Well i don' know. I like both but maybe the old one is a little
better

[larry_slo]

Kok pa je kj slovencev tle gor? Mogoce ves? Kako, da si premium member?

 

[U2girl]

Kolikor se jest spomnim, sem do zdaj videla 3: martica, klemen (ampak ta dva ?e zelo dolgo nista tukaj pisala) in markoajda - ki je tut na slovenijaboard.

Za premium member je bilo tako, da je bilo na izbiro in kdor je hotel je pla?al in je imel dolo?ene dodatne ugodnosti, kdor pa ni, ima manj funkcij na izbiro. Je bila pa tut mo?nost, da je kdo pla?al zate oziroma te je "sponzoriral" - in to se je zgodilo v mojem primeru in sem potem kasneje poslala denar po po?ti Elvisu - vodji tega foruma - ker nisem hotela imeti ob?utka, da sem kaj dol?na.

?e klikne? na "subscribe" zgoraj, bo to verjetno vse skupaj malo manj komplicirano razlo?eno.

 

[larry_slo]

Razumem zdej.

 

[larry_slo]

Kar se pa tice One pa se nagibam k staremu nacinu koncanja pesmi (in ne mislt, da mi nov nacin ni vsec). Aja a ne poje Bono "coming Lord" nevem tko jest slism?

While the meaning behind the new lyrics is nice, and maybe more appropriate, my ears are used to the old version. That's the one I like.

 

[alexvilagosh]

I really love the 'Hear us coming love' ending.
