THE 1000 BEST SONGS IN THE WORLD EVER.
38-Stereophonics-Dakota.
2005-Number 1 single.
Best Bit-At 1.58.The Dakota has had many famous musical residents over the years including Leonard Bernstein, Bob Crewe, Roberta Flack, Judy Garland and John Lennon. In fact The Dakota was the home of John Lennon from 1973 until his murder in the archway of the building in 1980.
‘Dakota’ is taken from the Stereophonics fifth studio Album ‘Language,Sex,Violence,Other?’ The songs writer Kelly Jones wrote the lyrics in 2004 while the band were on tour in Vermilion, Ohio,U.S.,Jones was going to call the song Vermilion but decided to change the title when the groups Slipknot and then Mercury Rev both coincidentally released songs with that title.The name of the song was changed to Dakota, named after the apartment building in New York City.
The songs lyrics appear to be self explanatory,as the narrator looks back on a love affair that has ended,he reminisces about the good times they have had and wishes that they were still together.
The Stereophonics(see also best songs 764) were officially formed in 1992 and are still active today, but the two founding members go back even further because Kelly Jones and Stuart Cable(1970-2010) first met in 1986 when living on the same street in the Welsh village of Cwmaman.
‘You make me feel like the one, make me feel like the one.’
