既然收进了iPod Shuffle，就必须要玩好iTune。于是跟我的1000多首mp3倒腾了大半天。iTune通过id3 tag管理音乐文件，好在我一贯追求完美，99%的mp3都有比较完整的tag，所以没有费很大的劲儿（要是以下载国内网上提供的垃圾mp3为主的同志们可就惨了，绝大部分的tag都残缺不全或者错误百出），倒是给了自己一个机会好好翻检和欣赏一下那些久违的经典。所以，今天拿出U2在1991年的经典大碟《Achtung Baby》中的一首歌来说说。
One
by U2
Is it getting better
Or do you feel the same
Will it make it easier on you
Now you got someone to blame
You say
One love
One life
When it’s one need
In the night
It’s one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby
If you don’t care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it’s too late
Tonight
To drag tha past out
Into the light
We’re one
But we’re not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness
Have you come tor raise the dead
Have you come here to play Jesus
To the lepers in your head
Did I ask too much
More than a lot
You gave me nothing
Now it’s all I got
We’re one
But we’re not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love the higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can’t be holding on
To what you got
When all you got is hurt
One love
One blood
One life
You got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we’re not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One… One…
这首名为“One”的作品是《Achtung Baby》中最感人的作品之一，这是一首love song，一首专门讲“爱”的歌——但是不是那种卿卿我我小肚鸡肠的情歌，它是一首讲类似佛说的爱的歌。佛常说要爱人，不要恨人。但是爱是热恋男女的亲吻和海誓山盟？还是“以结婚为目的的交往”？还是“为了你愿意牺牲我”？读懂了佛说的爱的人听Bono用摇滚的语言说出“We’re one, but we’re not the same, we get to carry each other”, “Love is a temple, love the higher law”这样的箴言时，一定会为之动容。爱是包容（而不是宽容、容忍什么的），是大同（不是小同），是爱人与爱己的同化（而不是以己度人或者因人废己），是极度的个性化（而不是互相学习），是一个大大的“One”。
最后说一句，U2在这首歌中展现出如此多禅意甚浓的意味，并不是巧合，1989年U2全球巡演结束后这帮家伙就去了印度“朝圣”，也许是有着太多的困惑和不解，Bono们有没有在大师那里找到真理不得而知，但是就像Beatles一样，朝圣之后是更具思辨深度的摇滚艺术，我一直认为U2在《Achtung Baby》之后才算真正跻身摇滚艺术殿堂级角色，这就像这首歌一样，也不是偶然的。
