Time to head to 1996 for a Robert Miles song that always played second fiddle to Children.

The song was initially written and recorded by Polish singer Edyta Górniak, but it wouldn’t be released until a year AFTER the Robert Miles’ cover.

The female vocalist in this song is Maria Nayler. Nayler mostly contributed to songs in the same way that she did for One and One. At the time of writing, she hasn’t released any of her own music.

One and One was not part of Miles’ debut album Dreamland until a month after the initial European release of the album. It would be included with the US version and subsequent re-releases.

My father was a massive fan of Robert Miles and was very sad when Miles passed away in 2017. Most weekends in our house had some Robert Miles tune blasting out of the Pioneer IS-21MD.

Lyrics

The sky isn’t always blue
The sun doesn’t always shine
It’s alright to fall apart sometimes,

I am not always you
And you are not always mine
It’s alright to fall apart sometimes

After all is said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry,
when we laugh
I am half, you are half

The heart isn’t always true
And I am not always fine
We all have an angry heart sometimes

After all is said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry, when we laugh
I am half, you are half

Look how far we have come
One and one still is

One moon (one moon)
One star (one star)
I love the one we are
One thread (one thread)
One line (one line)
Let’s stand still in time

One moon (one moon)
One star (one star)
I love the one we are
One thread (one thread)
One line (one line)
That runs through our lives

After all is said and done
One and one still is one
When we cry, when we laugh
I am half, you are half

Look how far we have come
One and one still is one ah
Ooh

Initially, I wasn’t sure if I was going to post about this or Metalingus since they are both good songs, but I have been enjoying ‘The Other Side’ a lot more recently.

The Other Side is a 2016 hit from American band, Alter Bridge. Most wrestling fans would be familiar with Alter Bridge as Metalingus became a household hit with Edge’s entrance in WWE.

In 2022, Edge turned heel (An evil/bad person) and debuted a new theme to go along with a new look and persona. That theme would be The Other Side.

With that, he formed a new stable in WWE called “The Judgement Day” initially adding Damien Priest, Rhea Ripley and Finn Bálor to the group. After only a couple of weeks, Edge was ejected from the group.

Edge went back to Metalingus after some time off and basically went back to the old persona. The Judgement Day continues to use The Other Side today as a stable theme. Each person within The Judgement Day (which now includes Dominik Mysterio & JD McDonagh) have their own individual theme.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just step into the dark, it’s waiting
Take your vow, it’s time
Time for you to meet your maker
Playing God tonight

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re insane, have you gone too far
Who’s to blame for what you are

[Chorus]
If you believe yours is the only way
Then you’re a fool who lives to die
Well you deserve the hell you’re gonna pay
On the other side
Once you reach the other side
Once you reach the other side

[Verse 2]
The trigger warm, anticipating
The ritual’s begun
You think that heaven’s gates are waiting
But only hell will come

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re insane, have you gone too far
Who’s to blame for what you are

[Chorus]
If you believe yours is the only way
Then you’re a fool who lives to die
Well you deserve the hell you’re gonna pay
On the other side
On the other side
Once you reach the other side

[Bridge]
Fade to black, you’ll see in time
You will only be denied

Fools will only be denied
There will be no paradise
Fools will only be denied
There will be no paradise, yeah

[Chorus]
If you believe yours is the only way
Then you’re a fool who lives to die
Well you deserve the hell you’re gonna pay
On the other side
On the other side
Once you reach the other side

[Outro]
Once you reach the other side
There will be no paradise
Once you reach the other side
There will be no paradise, yeah
