Kayla from Winnipeg, MbI love this song! It's super catchy, I love Nick's song writing! I just love Nick in general, seriously, how adorable was he?! He's still really good looking nowadays, too! The whole "Pelican West" album is amazing! but in their native England they had four Top 10 records between 19. This was their only record to make the Top 100 in the U.S.A. On the day of the sextet's appearance on 'Bandstand' the song was at #49 on the Top 100. One month earlier on May 6th, 1982 it entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #89 and on August 1st it peaked at #37 (for 1 week) and spent 17 weeks on the Top 100. Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn June 26th 1982, Haircut 100 performed "Love Plus One" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'.However, given that that conflict was in 1982 and I believe Love Plus One was recorded in 1981, I have my doubts about that! Edward Taylor from Dorset, UkSome time ago, Nick Heyward was interviewed on British TV and said that the "down to the lake I fear" line referred to the Falklands War (the South Atlantic was allegedly the "lake" in question).Even though regretting isn't productive, who knows what other hits this band would have made if they stayed together. The whole band seems genuine and joyful in the music video.
The music video makes me love the song even more! When I hear the song now, I envision Nick Heyward singing. The song is totally catchy and ubeat :) The theme in the lyrics, about calling on a phone, only started making sense to me after I saw the written lyrics. Zack from Calgary, AlbertaThis song was introduced to me on the Rhino Melennium Party 80s New Wave CD, that a family friend lent me to download.Above all, suicide is never an option! It could also just be the lyrics were assembled so they sound amazing together :) It could be that these song lyrics are about not finding love and considering drowning. The lyrics in this song do feel like a one-way conversation, with no one answering the other end of the phone call for love. Zack from Calgary, AlbertaSomeone suggested on another website that "down to the lake I fear" is about suicide."Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)" is a better video.Īs a youngster, when this came out it gave me hope in a world filled with so much negativity. I had no idea what the song was talking about until I read about it. Darrin from MiOne of my top 10 songs of all time.
