The group formed in 1958 as Brian Poole and the Tremoloes (the name soon being changed thanks to the spelling mistake of a local newspaper), and were initially cast in the Buddy Holly and the Crickets mould. Decca notoriously chose them over The Beatles, whom they had auditioned on the same day. They first charted with a version of “Twist and Shout” (1963), which owed much to the Beatles' version, followed by a chart topping cover of The Contours' U.S. million-seller “Do You Love Me” in the same year. Before they parted company with Brian Poole in 1966, their covers of Roy Orbison's B-side, "Candy Man" and The Crickets' B-side ballad, "Someone Someone" (both 1964) entered the UK Singles Chart Top Ten, with the latter peaking at number two.
Once Poole had left, and after a couple of near misses, rhythm guitarist and keyboard player Alan Blakely took over leadership of the group, and Len 'Chip' Hawkes (father of 1990s hitmaker Chesney Hawkes) replaced bassist Alan Howard. As the Tremeloes, the band started an even more successful hit run from 1967 onwards with Cat Stevens' “Here Comes My Baby”; “Suddenly You Love Me”, “Hello World”, and “My Little Lady”, and their Number one recording of an old Four Seasons' B-side “Silence Is Golden”. Both this latter single and “Here Comes My Baby” also entered the Top Twenty of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.
In September 2006 Brian Poole, Chip Hawkes and The Tremeloes toured the UK as part of their 40th anniversary reunion.
Someone Someone
Brian Poole & The Tremeloes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Someone who really loves you (someone)
When someone really loves you (someone)
That′s when your life begins
Once I was loved by no one
No one depended on me
I thought I was truly happy
A heart can be easily broken
A heart can even stand still
A heart can be easily broken
But I know that mine never will
Once all the stars were shining
Now it's easy to see
Once all the stars were shining
But now they shine for me
The lyrics to Brian Poole & The Tremeloes's song Someone Someone convey the idea that love transforms a person's life positively, and without it, one cannot experience true happiness. The song begins by stating that someone loves the listener, and that someone genuinely loving them is the beginning of a new life. The singer then goes on to talk about how they were once in a place where they thought they were happy, but no one loved or depended on them. It is suggested that without love, one's life is incomplete and empty. The song also acknowledges that a heart can be easily broken, but the singer's heart will never become broken. The song's final verse speaks about how the world once seemed dull and lifeless, but now that this special someone loves the singer, everything feels new, and the world shines only for them.
Overall, the message in Someone Someone is a timeless one, as love's transformative power is something that people have sought out and written about since the beginning of time. The lyrics in this song are simple yet profound, and the song's upbeat melody only adds to the mood of the song.

I found my older sisters 45 collection when I was about 11 years old. Brian Poole, Eden Kane, The Four Pennies, The Honeycombs, The Ivy League etc. All names I knew nothing about, sounds I'd never heard. Those little black discs started me on the first steps in a fantastic journey.....The journey into music. 50 years later I'm 61 and still loving every second of that journey simply because it's a journey without end.
