One Step Closer

[KUEFC09U2]

wow just really fell in love with this simple yet beutiful song, i have always liked it, but not in a big way, and now its just hit me just goes to show

 

[Hoodlem]

yep, its great. tyhe album wouldnt be the same without it. I think a lot of people will discover its greatness as the years go by.

 

[BANZAI]

Maybe...maybe not.

I don't dislike the song, bu I just can't get used to the boring and repeating chorus...

well, i'll put it on right now...one step closer to knowing

 

[-macphisto-]

"and a heart that hurts, is a heart that beats"
one of the best lines on the album

 

[RademR]

amazing song. I kind of have to be in a certain mood to listen to it, but it's truly remarkable.

 

[Popmartijn]

Together with All Because Of You it's the best song on the album.

 

[Jack In The Box]

weakest song on the album

 

[D'oh!]

it is a good song, but i think it is overshadowed by the likes of Vertigo, Miracle Drug, SYCMIOYO, COBL and Yahweh.

It certainly does not have the same impact (on me anyway) that Zooropa's 'The First Time' had.......

 

[ahmedadam]

One Step Closer to Knowing is beautifully understated

 

[popmart86]

FIIIIILLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[KUEFC09U2]

FIIIIILLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

any need?

 

[vivacolombia]

As filler and boring as Grace

 

[Reggie Thee Dog]

Some listeners are short-sighted. OSC is a beautifully, transcendant song, that goes way beyond is slow temp and understated vocal. It's a hymn that works much better than Peace On Earth or The Playboy Mansion. I'm glad they stripped it down.

 

[Numb1075]

OSC is a gem.....only U2 could have a catalouge w/ simple, soft, atmospheric songs that never see the light of day and no one, absoultely no one outside this little U2 world would know about

One Step Closer
The First Time
So Cruel
Love is Blindness
Heartland
Mothers of the Disappeared
Promenade
MLK
North and South of the River
Drowning Man
Tomorrow
October
Scarlet
An Cat Dubh/Into the Heart
The OCean
Shadows and Tall Trees

It's endless........

OSC is a good song. it's better than yahweh anyway.

Some people think it's soundtrak to coma (it's on that favourite page which is rediscovered each week ), but to me it's The First Time Part II... Some songs don't need ringing guitars and monsterous riffs, their beauty is so simple -- it amazes me.

 

[popmart86]

any need?

osc is alright..but grace is good.

 

[Zoots]

osc is alright..but grace is good.

Please... OSC is much better than Grace. It doesn't have dumb rhyming sequences like blame-shame, walk-chalk-talk, hips-lips-skips-fingertips. God, does Grace suck!

Compare it with the genius of...

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thunder cloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Rain down on him
So let it be
So let it be

Sleep
Sleep tonight
And may your dreams
Be realized
If the thundercloud
Passes rain
So let it rain
Let it rain
Rain on him
