Love Spreads (5:47)

Described by Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie as “The greatest comeback song ever”, the Roses didn’t pull any punches by making this their first release after five years. This still had the religiously-fuelled lyrics heard in their earlier material, with those familiar hushed vocals from Ian Brown, and that distinctive Reni/Mani underbelly groove. When the song came out, everyone thought it had been penned by Brown, the lyrics were so much in his style (the lyrics ponder Jesus being a black woman, and in John Squire’s words are about “the hyjacking of religion”). It was actually Squire who wrote this by himself.

At the time, it was easy to group the Stone Roses together with a bunch of other bands that had a similar sound ... you know, the whole "manchester scene". Now time has passed and the talent and timelessness of their music really stands out and it's clear to me that these guys weren't *just* part of scene but writing some really good music that still sounds great today.

Standout song from an otherwise average band. The album Second Coming is interesting to listen to, but there's nothing to compare with this unbelievable track.

Good song, but I hate all the religous bollocks laden in their songs and Brown is probably worse now with it in his latest stuff, shame really.
