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 W.O.W.Y. bass and guitar riffs, accompanied by 3 musicians from her band (gt, bass, keys). It was an amazing coincidence an

"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. There should be thousands of songs with the same chord progression (1-5-6-4). Here's the tip of the iceberg. How long must they play these chords??? Jason
