The Song Remains The Same… Sort Of (”It’s Only Love”)
Led Zeppelin came up with the best title for this kind of exercise. Sadly, nobody else has taken them up on the challenge to name another song by the same title.
Pity.
I went with a song title that’s basically a wistful platitude. Enjoy the different connotations.
Song Title: “It’s Only Love”
Artists:
The Beatles. This is the version of the song I think of when I hear the title. Gotta love John’s double-tracked vocals in the chorus.
Elvis Presley. It’s all about the pelvis….
Carey Ott. Opened for Thomas Dolby on his last tour, fun, folk-styled music.
Simply Red. Memo to the 80s: you may be back, but this is too much.
Ben Taylor. Offspring of James Taylor and Carly Simon - and you can hear the lineage in his singing.
The Tractors. Lovin’ me some country.
Enjoy!
