Craig Carlisle in Belfast, Northern Ireland:
The song is simply the outstanding track on the album. It builds into
frenzy of noise and emotion, which best encompasses the sound of the
roses.
Craig Ross in Belfast, Northern Ireland:
I just love this song. The way it builds into the mad frenzy at the
end, is amazing. Every time I feel shite I just listen this song and
it brings me up.
Nick Kearns in Halifax, England:
Absolute indescribable majesty- when I first heard this it was the equivalent
of a four minute orgasm. That bass riff was made in heaven.
Maxinein Fife, Scotland:
The Garage Flowers version of This is the One is amazing.
Brad in St.Catharines, Ontario, Canada:
Depending on the mood that I'm in or the mood I want to get into, Elephant
Stone and This Is The One are my favorites. Truly listening to them
is like transcending to heaven.
Mark Bell in Dublin, Ireland:
It captures all the feeling of falling in love. It's the most uplifting
and divine song I have ever been lucky enough to hear.
Mat Wilson in Newcastle-On-Tyne, (Geordieland), England:
Fantastic guitaring, great song structure that builds to a barnstorming
finish.
Kevin Smith in Middlesbrough, England:
Though like someone's already said, it's impossible to have a favourite
Roses, 'cause they all reflect on what mood you're in and they're all
brilliant, but this always gets me singing, and excited (say, if I was
going on the pull) - Just a corker of a song, really.
Andrew Wills in Northern Ireland:
This is just a magic song and I never heard it until last year. I'm
a United supporter and they played at the last home game before the
treble and the european cup final and it just gave me f**king goosepimples
when I heard it and still does. The only song ever to be played and
the highest volume on my hi-fi.
Nigel Clegg in Northern Ireland:
Reminds of the European Cup Final in 1999. The best song ever written.
Kid Loco in Huddersfield, England:
Sounds like everything you've ever known is coming to an end, with the
drums and the guitar changing.
Jayne in Liverpool, England:
I love the 'Bellona, Belladonna' line in This Is The One.
Richard Booth in Staffs, England:
The tune is just so...yea! ace guitar and fucking ace lyrics!!!
Scott S in Glasgow, Scotland:
Its enchnting and uplifting.
Alex Roy in Glasgow, Scotland:
I just love this song as soon as you hear it makes you feel like going
outside and jumping up and down the street. The Roses played it at a
concert in a big tent in Glasgow. I was there and it was f**king class
believe me.
Paul Brown in Leicester,England:
The intro is spellbinding, and the vocals are consistent and superb.
The bass work from Mani is amonst the best he's ever done, in short
, it rocks as do the ROSES!!
Keir Hardie in Inverness, Scotland:
Simply lovely.
Andrew Wills in Banbridge, Northern Ireland:
Its the best song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bagpuss in Walsall, England:(Owned by a little girl called
Emily?.....Ed)
Just LISTEN to it.......
Steve Black in Glasgow, Scotland:
The other voters sum it up...I love everything about this tune and I
regard this one along with some others as perfect songs.
Gus in Scotland:
I've been into the Roses for years and this still makesme shiver when
played. All time classic. This is what music is all about. To all the
Roses fans worldwide - We will never forget!!!!
Tom in Cardiff, Wales:
The Bellona , Belladona bit is great, showing the high point of the
song. Mani's bass line is shit hot, and Browns voice, going from a whisper
into almost shouting (but in tune!).
Mark Walker in Derby, England:
Just listen to the dynamics of the song. Excellent arrangement and great
guitar riffs supported by Mani's excellent basslines. Fantastic.
Bartleby Simpson in Vancouver, Canada:
It is the sound of being totally, completely, and absolutely in love
for the first time.
Guy Banham in Oxford, England:
"Immerse me in your Splendour"
Thomas Heggie in Edinburgh, Scotland:
Definetly a "Let's Have Ye!", Saturday night song.
Hoijung Chung in Seoul, Korea:
This is the one - It isn't a song but a statement. Mid part gearing
up hook charges me up every time I listen, from anticipation to blast!
Yup! This is the ONE I would pick. ^^
Steve in Milton Keynes, England:
All my mates know This is the One, is to played at my funeral. I'm to
be cremated so they can skin up my ashes and smoke me. Morbid but mad!
Long live the roses.
Sadie in Manchester..well longsight actually, England:
Although it has the typical Stone Roses formula to it ..beautiful
guitars ,whirling bass etc it captures that little dangerous essence of
punk and the climax is terrific, distorted guitars..This is the One beautiful,
heavy. Ian Browns voice is magic!
