During the early nineties, the main 2 members from U2 had wanted to break the codes. First, the sexy and blue-eyed Bono Vox turned himself into a jet-black haired and clothed smoker, very American, and second, their music began to fill with samples. Produced by the Canadian hitmaker Daniel Lanois, Achtung Baby is considered as the Irish rock band's transitioning album, the first step of breaking the codes, and "One" as a wonderful, universal brotherhood anthem à la One Love/People Get Ready. In the video (directed by Phil Joanou), singer Bono really appeared as a gentleman, almost a poet. And no wonder than another Man In Black covered this song a few years later, Cash was someone special and IMHO, despite lacking the seducing vocal that made all the beauty of the original song, his cover has something hypnotic.
