| The Youngbloods in 1967: Jesse Colin Young, Jerry Corbitt, Joe Bauer, Banana |
The entirety of my blog posting, on the first day of September, was a poem by W.H. Auden. The line I emphasized is a famous one: "We must love one another or die."
As September comes to a conclusion, the song below is my message for today. This message, it strikes me, is just the same. You can click the title link, below, to watch a live performance.
Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand (listen)
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
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Right now. Right now.
