For the purposes of this blog, homonyms are simply different songs with the same title. And for the purposes of my sanity, I'm limiting each post to two songs, however many there may be that fit the bill.
Today, a suggestion from the Blogfather, JC, at the inestimable (New) Vinyl Villain, specifically One Love by Bob Marley & The Wailers (much loved by Amusements Minor) and also One Love by The Stone Roses (much loved by me, not least for its ability to conjure a summer job working in a high street electrical store, where MTV played it every hour on the satellite TV demo set-up).
For completeness, and to do him justice, I should add that JC also noted songs by Massive Attack and Nas of the same name. It's me that's added the two homonym rule.
I have a lot of time for One Love (The Roses one). Time and place and all that. 20 years old.
ReplyDeleteExactly the same, even the age!
DeleteI was 10 years older than you guys (and still am!), so, though I do enjoy some of their tracks, including this one, I never really took Stone Roses to my heart in the same way. The Marley song is obviously a biggie, but in all honesty I've heard it enough, particularly as it's featured on the instore playlist at work a couple of times a day for the past nine years. Great to hear the Massive Attack tune again though!
ReplyDeleteOnly One Love but still plenty to go around.
