Love, love, love,
Love, love, love,
Love, love, love.
There’s nothing you can do that can’t be done.
Nothing you can sing that can’t be sung.
Nothing you can say,
But you can learn how to play the game – It’s easy.
Nothing you can make that can’t be made.
No one you can save that can’t be saved.
Nothing you can do,
But you can learn
How to be you in time – It’s easy.
All you need is love,
All you need is love,
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
Love, love, love,
Love, love, love,
Love, love, love.
All you need is love,
All you need is love,
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known.
Nothing you can see that isn’t shown.
There’s nowhere you can be
That isn’t where you’re meant to be – It’s easy.
All you need is love,
All you need is love,
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
All you need is love.
All you need is love.
All you need is love, love.
Love is all you need.
Love is all you need.
Love is all you need.
The concept of love originates with God.
List some universal human expressions of love.
Why is love always such a hot topic?
Is love really all we need? If not, what else do we need?
All You Need Is Love is a song written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon–McCartney and was first performed by the Beatles on Our World, the first live global television link. Watched by over 150 million in 26 countries, the program was broadcast via satellite on June 25, 1967.
The BBC had previously commissioned the Beatles to write a song for the United Kingdom’s contribution with a message understood by everyone. “It was an inspired song and they really wanted to give the world a message,” said Brian Epstein. “The nice thing about it is that it cannot be misinterpreted. It is a clear message saying that love is everything.”
According to journalist Jade Wright, “Lennon was fascinated by the power of slogans to unite people and never afraid to create art out of propaganda. When asked in 1971 whether songs like Give Peace a Chance and Power to the People were propaganda songs, he answered: ‘Sure. So was All You Need Is Love. I’m a revolutionary artist. My art is dedicated to change.'” The song became an anthem for a generation and is frequently used at weddings, in commercials and movies.
