The Youngbloods released this song in 1971. Jesse Colin Young was the lead singer in the band with influences from bands such as The Zombies, Boby Dylan and The Byrds.
This song had always been very special to me because of the lyrics and how true they are in times like this. We all need to get together to do what is right for our country now!

The Youngbloods - Get Together Lyrics
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
Everybody 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
Everybody get together
Try and lo
ve one another right nowIf 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
Everybody get together
Try and love one another right now
Right now
Right now!

Bombard your senses with sound of microchips
Program it digitally into the top five
Brainwash your ears, is it tape or is it live?
Oh, we've heard it all before (We've heard it, we've heard it)
Don't wanna hear it anymore

Gee, I needed those. Thanks!
I appreciate your commentary. A songs lyrics answering the lyrics to another song...how apropo.
Alone no one can do it. But it takes one to get the ball rolling...
Cool about your band singing and playing this song. Very cool indeed! ;)
As for reggae, love it and almost all types of music, can't even say there is some that I don't like. ;o)
From the first article I read Esther I wasn't sure exactly what it was but there was something about you. Yeah, there was something about you.
Couldn't be Flesh and Blood without some heart and soul. About a thousand melodies went through my head that could answer that but this one says it best. The rest of the song even applies to your over sentiments of late.
Music holds the secret,
To know it can make you whole
It's not just a game of notes,
It's the song inside your soul
The magic of the melody
Runs through you like a stream
The notes that play flow
through your head
Like a dream
Like a dream
Like a dream
Thank you. ;)
Yes those were scary times...and they still are.
I was one of those children watching the news looking for shots of my Dad in Viet Nam back then. Scary times indeed.
I love this song too. I only wish it could be that we all could come together and love one another as the song says.
Not really sure if I am a trip but Timothy and I missed school on occasion and took a trip. Usually went to Itchykoo Park. Can't really tell you what we did there or even what we saw there because it was all too beautiful.
Small Faces sang Itchykoo Park back in 1967. I was a little kid but I loved this song. I guess I thought that I was a lot older than I really was, I had to grow up fast.
Over bridge of sighs
To rest my eyes in shades of green
Under dreaming spires
To Itchycoo park, that's where I've been
What did you do there? I got high
What did you feel there? Well I cried
But why the tears there? Tell you why
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun
I tell you what I'll do - what will you do?
I'd like to go there now with you
You can miss out school - won't that be cool?
Why go to learn the words of fools
What do we do there? We'll get high
What will we touch there? We'll touch the sky
But why the tears there? I tell you why
It's all too beautiful - beautiful, it's all too beautiful - beautiful
It's all too beautiful - beautiful, it's all too beautiful - beautiful
I feel inclined to blow my mind
Get hung up, feed the ducks with a bun
They all come out to groove about
Be nice and have fun in the sun
It's all too beautiful, it's all too beautiful
It's all too beautiful - ha
It's all too beautiful - beautiful, it's all too beautiful - beautiful
It's all too beautiful - beautiful, it's all too beautiful - beautiful ....
D.B.D - You won't stump me with music trivia ever love, as I am pretty darn good with music and lyrics. My Mom got me started with my first record player when I was five years old and used to buy me 45's by the latest singers back then and continued that on for me until the mid '70's when I then started collecting my own music. ;o)
Love this game we're playing...
All the best music
Stump you-!? Ha-!! You make the rockin' world go round. "Play the game... everybody play the game ... of love. Besides "short people got no reason.."
The clown came down to meet me
With a smile upon his face
He fired his starting pistol
And began the human race
There were faces all around me
They were running everywhere
But everywhere is nowhere
And nowhere isn't there
It's a game
a game
a game that we're playing
Well
I don't mind but I don't make the rules
It's a game
a game
a game that we're playing
Just a game for lovers and fools
BTW I wouldn't be missing anything I haven't had any I don't have any class anymore.
Girl, come on down to Dallas for a visit! ;)
Been my favorite kind of people for as long as I can remember, probably always will be. ;o)
Love Ohio by Crosby, Stills, & Nash about four dead in Ohio about the four that were killed at Kent State. Sad, sad thing.
Where do we go from here now that all other children are growin' up
And how do we spend our lives if there's no one to lend us a hand
I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away
Games people play, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Honor Brite
If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Where do we go from here now that all of the children have grown up
And how do we spend our lives knowin' nobody gives us a damn
I don't wanna live here no more, I don't wanna stay
Ain't gonna spend the rest of my life, Quietly fading away
Games people play, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Just don't make it right
If I'm telling you the truth right now, Do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Games people play, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Honor Brite
If I promise you the Moon and the Stars, Would you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
Games people play, You take it or you leave it
Things that they say, Just don't make it right
If I'm telling you the truth right now, Do you believe it
Games people play in the middle of the night
