關於U2的One

孤陋寡聞和懶惰的我，今天方才嘗試了解U2的One的涵意。

結果是令我有點詫異：

"One" introduces the situation where a homosexual man, infected from AIDs lies in his bed dying, while his father, who does not approve his son's lifestyle, cannot bring himself to forgive. In "U2 A Conspiracy Of Hope", "One" was classified as a "acid" love song. In the song, the dying son vents his frustration at his father, blaming him for contempt and hate. On the other hand, his father tries to make peace despite his past prejudices against his son's life. "One" can be classified as a song which conveys love as a very sacred entity in nature, where even differences do not matter "We're one, but we're not the same". Nevertheless, it's not surprising that all profits from this single went to AIDs research. Even the cover was designed by someone infected by AIDs - a artist named David Wojnarowicz.

咦，原來曾經何時，我播「錯」歌，還將自己的主觀幻想「錯誤」投射在歌曲之上（想起Stuart Hall說的encoding and decoding...）。

播「錯」歌，怎麼辦？

沒什麼。

只覺得很好笑。嘿嘿 ...... 笑死我了 ......

而且，知道歌曲的「真正」涵意，也是一件有意思的事。
