One by U2

"One is the loneliest number"

In reality, this quote is true.  I do believe that many decades ago, this quote was meant to be funny depending on delivery.  The words and sentiment can be depressing.  In music, this is not for the alone at heart but instead is best enjoyed when performed by U2 - the one and only.

"One" 


"One" is the third track and third release from U2's 1991 album, Achtung Baby.
