The Youngbloods - Get together

https://youtu.be/7xGxQXmu7Os

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another
Right now

The song and message stands the test of time, but in this day and age is it even possible?
Kant

Love it!

No other song captures the spirit of Woodstock. Jesus Christ I was born in the wrong era.

Yeah. I was a tad young then. Am listening to Janis Joplin right now.

Yeah. I was a tad young then. Am listening to Janis Joplin right now.

My parents raised me on 60’s and 70’s Rock. I may listen to a lot of out there types of Metal, but I always find my way back to the Classic Rock.

I’m beginning to think the song message is lost to the sands of time.

I’m beginning to thing the song message is lost to the sands of time.

You may be right, especially with the expanding political divide seen almost everywhere.

Perhaps we should consider the message of "The Politics of Dancing" by Reflex.

I'm the same way. I was born in the mid-70s, but most of the music I listen to (aside from the classic metal that I love) was recorded before I was born.

I love this song, too. One of my favorites.

I've actually got Joni Mitchell playing right now.

Maybe the lyrics of another Youngblood's song is a better fit for today.


Darkness darkness, be my pillow
Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your dream

Darkness darkness, hide my yearning
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Towards the things I cannot see now
Towards the things I cannot see now
The things I cannot see now

Darkness darkness, long and lonesome
Is the day brings me here
I have found the edge of sadness
I have known the depths of fear

Darkness darkness, be my blanket
Cover my with the endless night
Take away away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now
The emptiness of right now
Fill the emptiness of right now

Darkness darkness,…

God, guns, abortion, and politics = instant argument in 2019.
People used to bitch about the weather or fuss over Ford vrs Chevrolet.
Times have changed.

Darkness darkness, be my pillow
Take my head and let me sleep
In the coolness of your shadow
In the silence of your dream

Darkness darkness, hide my yearning
For the things that cannot be
Keep my mind from constant turning
Towards the things I cannot see now
Towards the things I cannot see now
The things I cannot see now

Darkness darkness, long and lonesome
Is the day brings me here
I have found the edge of sadness
I have known the depths of fear

Darkness darkness, be my blanket
Cover my with the endless night
Take away away the pain of knowing
Fill the emptiness of right now
The emptiness of right now
Fill the emptiness of right now

Darkness darkness,…

Yeah, that’s a good song, too.

I’m beginning to think the song message is lost to the sands of time.

I think it's been replaced by One Tin Soldier.

"go ahead and hate your neighbor
go ahead and cheat a friend
do it in the name of heaven
you'll be justified in the end
there won't be any trumpets blowing
on your judgement day"

It's a good song, but there are others from the same era.
