Song Stuck In My Head This Week - 12th September '09 - The Wildhearts - The Only One

Here I am with an artist who I've featured before but they recently released their new album 'Chutzpah!' and it's been so amazing I've had it on loop for most of the last couple of weeks. This song, in particular, stuck itself firmly in my head.

While I will always firmly believe that their lead singer Ginger is one of the finest singer-songwriters to ever come out of this country, this song isn't actually written or sung by him! It was, in fact, written and sung by bass player Scott Sorry but fits in just fine with all the other material. This song sounds like it belongs in a great, intelligent romantic movie soundtrack (for the kind of film think current GREAT movie '(500) Days Of Summer'). It really brings in the essence of loving someone so much that no one else matters. I really can't wait to hear this, and the rest of the tracks from 'Chutzpah!', live when I see them on their tour which starts on the 17th September in Brighton.

The Wildhearts - The Only One

These are the words that I've saved
Saved for the perfect day but they won't get used
If I keep waiting on you

This is the way that I feel
I wish that it wasn't real but it's more than true
I can't keep waiting on you

So open your eyes and see where I'm standing
Straight in your line of sight so you
Should make up your mind and do what it is that you need to
Cos I'm not leaving

You are the only one that I think about
When I'm down and out and miles away
You are the only one when we're falling out
I want to make it better
There are the words that I should have told you
All of the times that I just ignored you
I would give you everything I have
So let's just start all over again

Now that the games we've played
Were stipped down and thrown away I can clearly see
That you've been waiting on me

So open your eyes and see where I'm standing
Straight in your line of sight so you
Should make up your mind and do what it is that you need to
Cos I'm not leaving

You are the only one that I think about
When I'm down and out and miles away
You are the only one when we're falling out
I want to make it better
There are the words that I should have told you
All of the times that I just ignored you
I would give you everything I have
So let's just start all over again

Bygones are bygones
And they should stay that way
We've got the world at our fingers
Let's stick it back together
We could make it better
We could make it better

You are the only one that I think about
When I'm down and out and miles away
You are the only one when we're falling out
I want to make it better
There are the words that I should have told you
All of the times that I just ignored you
I would give you everything I have
So let's just start all over again

Now here's a youtube clip with the track (only a still shot with music over-played but it's the best they had) enjoy!
