Why is this song considered a joke today? (Let's Get Together) |
|
Love is but the song we sing, And fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Know the dove is on the wing And you need not know why
C'mon people now, Smile on your brother Ev'rybody get together Try and love one another right now
Some will come and some will go We shall surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moments sunlight Fading in the grass
C'mon people now, Smile on your brother Ev'rybody get together Try and love one another right now
If you hear the song I sing, You must understand You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at your command
C'mon people now, Smile on your brother Ev'rybody get together Try and love one another right now Right now Right now

Sounds like good optimism to me...

1. Musically speaking-b/c it's "cool" to be cynical about anything "hippy" |

I went through that phase myself.
Now I see the original "Flower Children" as some of the orginal punks.
Aside from the heartfelt lyrics- the dreamy sounding guitars and solid harmonies make it a classic. The Youngbloods are teriffic...
