My little tribute to Alicia and U2. Ain’t nothing like the real thing? Or even better than the real thing? I made this track 3 days earlier before she did a 30 minutes promotional free concert in Tokyo on Nov 29, 2007, where she played a special stripped version of No One with the WOWY bass and guitar riffs, accompanied by 3 musicians from her band (gt, bass, keys).

My first impression of No One was actually like “hey, it’s like a U2 song!”. Then, I remembered WOWY, and Bob Marley, The Beatles, Teddy Bears…which is a great history of songs about LOVE.
