It probably sounds a bit peculiar, but in class we were discussing love. Not relationship love, but rather, love for humanity.
We need it now more than ever, and I was simply wondering if anyone knew any songs that evoke that same spirit.
I have some, but I thought this might be a groovy topic to think about.

Maybe I'm wrong. Oh well.

"All you need is love, all you need is love,
All you need is love, love, love is all you need."
~The Beatles~

I could be singing forever-ADG

Probably about half of AG's catalog, Pete's and Woody's too.

For other specifics...well there are really a lot. Reach Out in the Darkness by Friend and Lover is a classic pop oldy in that vein.

"From A Distance" is a beautiful one...

"Get Together"
Love is but a song we sing - feels the way we die.
You can make the mountains ring - make the angels cry.
Though the bird is on the wing - you may not know why.
C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
Ev'rybody get together, try to love one another right now.
Some may come and some may go - people, we 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.
C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
Ev'rybody get together, try to love one another right now.
If you hear the song I sing - people, you will understand<FONT size="1">...... (Listen)</FONT s>
You hold the key to love and fear - all in your trembling hand.
Just one key unlocks them both - don't you know it's there at your command.
Come on people now, smile on your brother,
Ev'rybody get together, try to love one another right now.
C'mon people now, smile on your brother,
Ev'rybody get together, try to love one another right now.

I think I'll roll another number for the road
I feel capable of getting under any load
Tho my feet aren't on the ground
I've been standin on the sound, of those open hearted people going down...........

NEIL

Peace train getting louder'
Climb on the peace train

*Cat Stevens

"one Love, mmmmmMMMmmmm
One heart, yea now!
Let's get together & feel alright"

"so Baby don't worry, bout a ting....cause
every little ting...gonna be alright..."
Bob Marley

Oh i was thinking what about.....



"Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

I think I did it again
I made you believe we're more than just friends
Oh baby
It might seem like a crush
But it doesn't mean that I'm serious
'Cause to lose all my senses
That is just so typically me
Oh baby, baby


Oops!...I did it again
I played with your heart, got lost in the game
Oh baby, baby
Oops!...You think I'm in love
That I'm sent from above
I'm not that innocent"

what do ya think?

Oh Well!!
It was worth a shot!

************OVER THE RAINBOW****************

Somewhere over the rainbow way up high
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true

(bridge)Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me

Somewhere over the rainbow bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow, why then, o why can't I?
(tag)If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow
Why o why can't I?

_E Y Harburg & Harold Arlen
