Bastet July 4, 2016 Share July 4, 2016 (edited) I'm mentally scrolling through my iPod. Its shuffle setting has a penchant for playing these two back to back: Adele, Someone Like You Van Morrison, Someone Like You I also have U2's One and Metallica's One. And there's also One by Three Dog Night. Van Morrison's Gloria and Laura Branagan's Gloria.
