\"MyPeace.TV\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Over the past few years, I have enjoyed watching videos by a collective of musicians that form Playing For Change\u00a0which aims to bring about transformation\u00a0 one note at a time.\u00a0 A roving film crew travels the world over and records various musicians and performers waxing musical and lyrical and weaving their unique\u00a0\u00a0style into an exquisite tapestry. Last night, I happened to catch this one, on MyPeace.TV, filled with talented young musicians. The title of the song “Love Is All”, written by Roger\u00a0Glover (bassist of the groups Deep Purple and \u00a0Government Mule) \u00a0was reminiscent of\u00a0 the Beatles’ classic, with the same foot tapping, high energy pop sound. It began with a young man tickling the keys of a zebra striped piano and ended with bubbling over enthusiasm of the ‘tweens’ and teens that seemed to be in the 10-13 year old range. They hailed from places around the world such as Uganda: a multi-person children’s choir whose\u00a0 beatific smiles and choreographed swaying to the music beckoned doing the same. One earphone wearing girl sang on a boardwalk while passersby\u00a0seemed not to\u00a0notice the magic that was occurring before them. I know I would have stopped to soak it in. \u00a0Another from India played a stringed instrument that appeared to be bigger than she was.\u00a0Four part harmony eminated\u00a0from France, drums from L.A, another hand clapping choir from India.<\/p>\n

What was evident was how much fun these kids were having. It’s so easy to feel despondent when what we hear in the news is gloom and doom and so easy to have hope for the future when witnessing the power of song, unity and contagious joy. It is especially reassuring that this part of the next generation has a handle on what is important; the One in the many and the many in the One. Soaking in the sonic sunshine and singing along reinforces the ultimate truth that love is indeed ALL.<\/p>\n

Love Is All<\/p>\n

Everybody’s got to live together
\nAll the people got to understand
\nSo, love your neighbour
\nLike you love your brother
\nCome on and join the band<\/p>\n

Well, all you need is love and understanding
\nRing the bell and let the people know
\nWe’re so happy and we’re celebrating
\nCome on and let your feelings show<\/p>\n

Love is all, well love is all
\nLove is all, can’t you hear the call
\nOh, love is all you need
\nLove is all you need at the Butterfly Ball<\/p>\n

Ain’t you happy that we’re all together
\nAt the ball in nature’s countryside
\nAnd although we’re wearing different faces
\nNobody wants to hide<\/p>\n

Love is all and love is all and
\nIt’s easy, yes it’s so easy
\nAt the Butterfly Ball where love is all
\nAnd It’s so easy<\/p>\n

All you need is love and understanding
\nRing the bell and let the people know
\nWe’re so happy and we’re celebrating
\nLet your feelings show<\/p>\n

Love is all, yes love is all at the Butterfly Ball
\nLove is big, love is small
\nLove is free, love is all
\nAt the Butterfly Ball<\/p>\n

When your back’s to the wall
\nWhen you’re starting to fall
\nYou got something to lean on
\nLove is everything<\/p>\n

It can make you sing at the Butterfly Ball
\nLove is all, I say love is all, yes love is all
\nAt the Butterfly Ball<\/p>\n

Roger Glover, 1974<\/p>\n
