First of all it's the last day of the Netherlands Top 2000 Blog party! We are down to the top 265 songs of all time! My choice for today is #14 "One" by U2. Here's how my layout turned out...
The song has been used to promote human rights and social justice causes, but originally was written about the difficulty of maintaining relationships (per Wiki - more info on the meaning of the song here). I just love the quiet emotional power of the lyrics and melody together. What a fantastic song - sigh.Check out the video...
To check out what everyone else has created for the final day of the party, click here to go to Marit's blog. Thanks so much to Marit for hosting this annual celebration of music! I have thoroughly enjoyed participating in the Netherlands Top 2000 for the past two years, and I hope she decides to do it again next year! THANK YOU MARIT!!!
