Tuesday July 20, 2021 “All You Need Is Love” Elvis Costello

So we’re still at Live Aid and watching Elvis Costello when he was thinner, younger and cooler paying tribute to the Beatles with an acoustic version of “All You Need Is Love”.  And although Live Aid was put together based on love, the reality is that in addition to love, you also need money and the concert generated a tremendous amount of both love and money.

 Obviously since it was 1985 (Lennon was killed in 1980) the Beatles weren’t there to offer their own version of this iconic classic so Costello did his best to summon the spirit of the 60s and he got the audience to join in.  McCartney was a small part of the concert and maybe we will get to him later in the week.

 Sing along if the spirit moves you.

 Stay safe and well..and all you really do need is love...forget the money.

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

 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 together now)

All you need is love (everybody)

All you need is love, love

Love is all you need
