We’ll make it
June 15, 2008This is probably the most popular song right now in The Netherlands, even though it’s nowhere to be found in the charts, and might not even be on sale in record stores. “Just For Tonight” by One Night Only is the song which the sports program uses for its daily montage of the most interesting moments from the European Championships Football.
Two years ago, during the World Championships in Germany, they used the surprisingly fresh “Wenn Es Passiert” from German band Wir Sind Helden, and “Just For Tonight” is just as fitting. There’s this thing in the corus that just really makes it work, it almost evokes an emotional response. “Just for tonight / just maybe we’ll make it / sing like you want this”.
We’ve seen marvellously energetic, fierce, but extremely fair and honest football so far. Maybe, just maybe, football will make it.

Ah, one of those bands.. as in, those identikit carbon copies we seem to be churning out recently. Long live the cliquey UK music scene.
