Can you imagine Johnny Cash or Jeff Buckley singing "One Step Closer." Especially Johnny, I think these words would have touched him in a very real way.

Yeah both would do a great job, but seriously if I have to listen to one more person say that this song shouldn't be on the album .....
well I am going to type really angry things on my keyboard.

Yes, indeed. I think just sonically it is necessary in it's place. Even the "soft" songs on the album are cluttered with sound and bombastically layered. But let's not let this turn into one of those discussions.

I completely agree. A Johnny Cash cover of OSC would have been amazing. I love what he did with One.

Something wrong when ppl start to find new singers for a song just released...
I don't see ppl wondering how good Miracle Drug would be with "that singer" or COBL with that "other singer" or SYCMIOYO would rule if sung by "that artist"...
OSC sucks big time, should have been kept out of the new record and Mercy or AYGWF should have been in its place.
Millions of flies can't be wrong...

Don't get me wrong, I think this is one of the best songs on the album, personally. I was just thinking that, lyricially, it reminded me of a Johnny Cash tune. That's all. Please don't read too much into anything I say.

i thought about leonard cohen when i first heard it and then johnny cash just because both of those guys can deliver some serious melancholy in a subtle way.
bono delivers it here too, big time.
i love this track.

Yeah, I said the same thing (re: Johnny Cash) in my review which I posted a few days ago. But as someone else so nicely said, Bono wanted to speak for himself this time.

I wouldn't want their versions to be the only versions
