Yeah, or maybe (I was thinking) a hidden track, in the same vein as Pinnochio Story.
Bound2 is what made Yeezus a home run for me. The rest of that record was so unexpected and strange, that coming out at the other end with a song as "quintessentially Kanye" as Bound2 was like finding a tenuous euphoria at the end of a bad mushroom trip. But while it was the most "oh that's so Yeezy" song on the record, it also feels like the album's most blatant statement of uncertainty and change. That chorus still hasn't stopped hitting me right in the gut.
I feel like "Only One" could almost be the start of something else... Perhaps a full-length collaboration between Kanye and Paul? I don't know. Probably not. But I remember reading that it was itended to be on the new album.
If they're going to gloss it up and rework it, I'd rather they leave it alone. Cause yeah, at this point it has been "the single" for some time, so it would feel strange to hear a less improvised version.
