Only Your Love

About Only Your Love

"Only Your Love" is a song recorded by English girl group Bananarama. It was released as the first single from the group's fifth studio album Pop Life and was issued several months prior to the release of the album. The Pop Life album marked a break for Bananarama from their long-standing relationship with the Stock Aitken Waterman (SAW) production trio. "Only Your Love" was co-written and produced by Youth. The album version of the song was remixed for its single release. The song's primary rhythm, complete with 'Woo Woo' hoots, directly references "Sympathy for the Devil". This led Jonathan Ross to jokingly thank 'The Rolling Stones' after Bananarama had performed the song on his TV show. The song also contains samples of "Loaded" by Primal Scream, "Fool's Gold" by The Stone Roses and “Funky Drummer” by James Brown . Upon its release "Only Your Love" received positive critical reviews. The song was not released as a single in the United States. "Only Your Love" peaked at number 27 in the UK singles chart, which the group considered to be a disappointment. The single did not fare much better in other countries, hitting number 49 in New Zealand and 51 in Australia. more »

Angel divine 
With you by my side 
I can do anything I want to 
I'll sacrifice 
For you I'd lay down my life 
'Cause I was alone without you 

We all need somebody 
You know I need somebody 
No one has to feel alone 
We all need some love 
You know I need your love 
To break these chains around my soul 

[Chorus:] 
Only your love 
Can free me 
Only your love 
Can ease me 
Only your love 
I need it 
Only your love 
Never let me go 
Let me go (x 3) 
Never let me go 
Let me go (x 3) 
Never let me go 
Let me go (x 3) 
Never let me go 
Let me go (x 2) 

Heat of the flame 
That burns in your name 
Got to got to got to believe it 
Angel of love 
Descend from above 
Come on and shine your light on me 

We all need somebody 
You know I need somebody 
No one has to feel alone 
We all need some love 
You know I need your love 
To break these chains around my soul 

[Chorus:]
 
We all need somebody 
You know I need somebody 
No one has to feel alone 
We all need some love 
You know I need your love 
To break these chains around my soul  

[Chorus:]

Bananarama

Bananarama are an English female pop band who have had success on the pop and dance charts since 1982. Rather than relying on harmony, the band generally sings in unison, as do their background vocalists. Although there have been line-up changes, the group enjoyed most success as a trio made up of lifelong friends Siobhan Fahey, Keren Woodward and Sara Dallin. In The 1980s, Bananarama were listed in the Guinness World Records as the all female group with the most chart entries in the world, a record which they still hold. Since 1992, Woodward and Dallin have continued Bananarama as a Duo. more »
