With or Without You is OkCello’s 2nd Single off his 4th studio album, entitled Funny How Things Work Out.

A cover of one of U2’s most iconic songs, OkCello’s rendition of WOWY is performed through a different lens. Rather than just a lament of the complications and tragedies of romantic love, OkCello’s performance imagines the citizens of a country locked in bitter and toxic dysfunction, longing for a sweetness in governance and community that they have longed for but never known.

While this performance offers no solutions, the longing for such sweetness keeps alive the hope that it is possible.
