Song of the Day #5,691: ‘All For Love’ – Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart & Sting

Throwing back to the week of January 29, 1994, the Billboard Hot 100 was topped by the unlikely team of Bryan Adams, Sting, and Rod Stewart on the song ‘All for Love’ from the soundtrack of the 1993 film The Three Musketeers.

I vaguely remember that movie, which starred Keifer Sutherland, Charlie Sheen, and Oliver Platt as the titular trio, but I don’t remember this song at all. That’s despite it staying in the #1 spot for three straight weeks.

If you had to guess how many solo #1 hits each of these men have had, what would you say? I’ll give you a minute to think about that before reveling the answer in the next paragraph.

Bryan Adams tops the list with five #1s, including this one. Rod Stewart is next with four. And Sting, believe it or not, counts this as his only solo #1. He had only one with The Police as well.

[Verse 1]
When it’s love you give
I’ll be a man of good faith
Then in love you live
I’ll make a stand. I won’t break
I’ll be the rock you can build on
Be there when you’re old
To have and to hold

[Verse 2]
When there’s love inside
I swear I’ll always be strong
Then there’s a reason why
I’ll prove to you we belong
I’ll be the wall that protects you (Yeah)
From the wind and the rain
From the hurt and the pain
Yeah (Hey)

[Chorus]
Let’s make it, all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
‘Cause when it’s all for one it’s one for all
When there’s someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love

[Verse 3]
When it’s love you make
I’ll be the fire in your night
Then it’s love you take
I will defend, I will fight
I’ll be there when you need me
When honor’s at stake
This vow I will make, yeah

[Chorus]
That it’s all for one and all for love
Let the one be the one you want
The one you need
‘Cause when it’s all for one it’s one for all
When there’s someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show
And make it all for one and all for love

[Bridge]
Don’t lay our love to rest
‘Cause we could stand up to you test
We got everything and more than we had planned
More than the rivers that run the land
We’ve got it all in our hands

[Chorus]
Now it’s all for one and all for love
Let the one you hold be the one you want
The one you need
‘Cause when it’s all for one it’s one for all
When there’s someone that should know
Then just let your feelings show
When there’s someone that you want
When there’s someone that you need
Let’s make it all, all for one and all for love

    I have no recollection of this song either, and find it to be rather lame. I don’t think these voices particularly work together either.
