The 'One' section of my iPod turns out to be rather good, a wide range of tracks, hardly any duffers, and only one crushing embarrassment which won't be mentioned here. And so I give you the iPod EP of One:
One by Metallica (yes, well, but sometimes you just need to sing along to "darkness/imprisoning me/all I see/absolute horror" - we all have days like that, don't we?)
One Day Like This by Elbow (suddenly trendy, but who cares? Most joyous indie pop song since "Do You Realize?")
One Grey Morning by Ron Sexsmith (a jaunty song about depression with a horn section)
One of Us by Joan Osborne (a rarity, a pop song that actually asks an interesting philosophical question: "If God had a face/would you want to see,/if seeing meant that you would have to believe?")
One of Us by ABBA (fun in that it's impossible not to make up your own lyrics, "One of us makes strudel/We are all from Sweden/Then we got we divorced...")
One Step Ahead by Split Enz (Crying out for a good remake)
The One Thing by INXS (Remember the video? All that food and white background and curly hair?)
The One You Love by Rufus Wainwright (if only because the melody of the verses is unbelievably insinuating, "one little move and for sure you will be stung").
Yeah, okay, I went overboard a little, but that's still leaving out Blondie, Pet Shop Boys, Aimee Mann... Oh, and now that I look, there'll be an iPod of Two coming soon.
