“She’s the One” is a new release from DC’s genre bending Irish Latin Rock band, La Unica. The song captures the emotion of longing for a lover, and gripping desire. Raw emotion is displayed during the chorus that turns to chanting instead of lyrics.
She's the One blends hints of Cumbia, Reggae and Rock, while inflecting as many instruments that they could find in the studio. The song’s mid section breakdown displays some of these unique sounds and funky rhythms.
The lyrics and song concept were created by La Unica’s lead guitar player; Cory Padin. “The song came to me in a dream, and I was woken from a dream and had to run to my guitar and notepad to capture what was playing in my head”, says Cory. “But, In typical fashion the band morphed the original concept into our unique style of Irish Latin Rock madness.”
lyrics
Verse 1
She moves it round and down again
Two tangled hearts in a lovers den
A hunter’s mind so cold within
She’s angel's eye, with the softest skin
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
Verse 2
She took me on a ride so low
You're the river baby, and I’m the boat
A scent so strong, I crave for days
Making me mad, you can hear me say
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
Chorus 2
Tonight,
She’s the one
Now I know
Tonight
Now I know
She’s the one
Chorus
Oh, oh, oh
Chorus 2
Tonight,
She’s the one
Now I know
Tonight
Now I know
She’s the one
