One For Sorrow (song)

One For Sorrow (song)

"One for Sorrow" is a song by Steps, which became the group's first single to make it to the Top 5 on the UK charts. Debuting at #2 and spending 11 weeks on the British charts, this song firmly established Steps's intention to revive the ABBA sound; in fact its chord progression in the chorus is almost identical to that of ABBA's "The Winner Takes It All". A remixed version of this song is also featured on the Drive Me Crazy film soundtrack and released in the U.S. during the summer of 1999 when Steps opened for Britney Spears.

Unlike Steps' previous single, "Last Thing on My Mind", which featured solo vocals by all three girls, Claire performs lead vocals of all of the verses, before the entire band join for the chorus. It has since surfaced following the groups reformation in 2011, that after the single, tensions arose in the band due to Richards singing lead vocals on the single, therefore pushing the other four members to the background.

Famous quotes containing the word sorrow:

    ‘Whence thou return’st, and whither wentst, I know;
    For God is also in sleep; and dreams advise,
    Which he hath sent propitious, some great good
    Presaging, since, with sorrow and heart’s distress,
    Wearied I fell asleep: but now lead on;
    In me is no delay; without thee here to stay,
    Is to go hence unwilling; thou to me
    Art all things under Heaven, all places thou,
    John Milton (1608–1674)
