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.
There's 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.
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.

Overall Meaning

The song "All You Need Is Love" was written by John Lennon and credited to Lennon/McCartney. It was first performed by The Beatles during a live television broadcast called "Our World" in 1967, which was watched by an estimated 400 million people worldwide. The song has since become an anthem for love and peace.


The lyrics of the song convey a clear and simple message - that all you need is love. The repeated refrain of "love, love, love, love" emphasizes the simplicity of this message. The verses suggest that everything else, such as skills, material possessions, and knowledge, is secondary to love. The phrase "there's nothing you can do that can't be done" suggests that anything is possible with love, and the same goes for "there's nothing you can make that can't be made". The lyrics also suggest that being yourself is enough, and that there's no need to try to be someone else.

Pauls harmonies while still maintaining lead vocals is legendary, always modestly standing out; outstanding performance

Nice to see that Paul included a couple of people who don't get much stage presence anymore, such as Joe Cocker and Brian Wilson, chosen to sing upfront. Paul is a nice fellow :)

@ericdanielski4802

@gatorjay7972

We need musicians and singers who want to cover some of the quality music already available. Just need to make the songs their own.
