Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around(#ad)
The song "Love is All Around" was inspired by Richard Curtis after he approached Wet Wet Wet about recording a song to soundtrack his film Four Weddings and a Funeral.
The band had to pick between three choices of songs with the other two being “Can't Smile Without You” by Barry Manilow and “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor.
Marti Pellow, a singer in the band, said that the decision to pick “Love Is All Around” was easy because they knew they could make their song their own.
This song had many versions like the Troggs version (which was also a band), and it was recorded in B flat major on 4th January 1994 and was later released in May the same year.
There are other recordings of the song, but this particular one has more than 14 million views on YouTube. The song was a shocker to many and most of the music critics at that time never thought the song would go this far.
It entered the UK Singles Chart on May 15, 1994, at number four and from here, the record was amazing and flawless. After one week, the song climbed to number two and on May 29 it finally got to the top spot number one.
It stayed on top for 15 weeks which is the second longest UK chart reign of all time and it spent a further 22 weeks in UK's top 75.
The song had sold a total of 1.88 million copies as of February 2016 in the United Kingdom and this made it the country’s best-selling love ballad.
Throughout the chart run, the song was banned by some radio stations as many of their listeners were tired of listening to it and the band took it upon themselves to delete the record from sale.
Wet Wet Wet - Love Is All Around - Lyrics
Release Date - 4th January, 1994
Album - Four Weddings and a Funeral
I feel it in my fingers
I feel it in my toes
The love that's all around me
And so the feeling grows
It's written on the wind
It's everywhere I go
So if you really love me
Come on and let it show
You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend
I see your face before me
As I lay on my bed
I cannot get to thinking
Of all the things you said
You gave your promise to me and I gave mine to you
I need someone beside me in everything I do
You know I love you, I always will
My mind's made up by the way that I feel
There's no beginning, there'll be no end
'Cause on my love you can depend
I got to keep it moving
It's written in the wind
Oh everywhere I go
So if you really love me, love me
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it
Come on and let it,
Come on and let it show
Come on and let it,
Come on and let it,
Come on and let it show,
Come on and let it show,
Come on and let it show
