Fontaines D.C. cover U2's 'One' for Apple Music Home Session

Fontaines D.C. have shared a new cover of U2‘s ‘One’ – listen to their version of the 1992 track below.

‘One’ is the third track from U2’s 1991 album ‘Achtung Baby’, and it was released as the record’s third single in February 1992. The song was a benefit single, with proceeds going towards AIDS research.

The Dublin band’s version of the song was recorded as part of Apple Music Home Session, Vol.2 and follows previous covers by them, which include The Velvet Underground‘s ‘The Black Angel’s Death Song’ and The Beach Boys‘ ‘Wouldn’t It Be Nice’.
