Get Together
Young Jesse Colin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Love is but a song we sing
Fears' the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the dove is on the wing
And you may not know why

Come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
And try to love one another right now

Some may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass

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

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

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

If you hear the song I sing
You will understand, listen
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command

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

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

I said, come on people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together




Try to love one another right now
Right now, right now

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Young Jesse Colin's song "Get Together" focus on the unity and love that humanity should cultivate. The song suggests that the key to unlocking love and conquering fear is present in the hands of every individual. It suggests that humanity should try to come together as one and strive for global harmony.


The opening verse in the song, "Love is but a song we sing, fears' the way we die," implies that love and fear are two intertwined elements in the human experience. Love is the song that we must learn to sing and master, while fear is the danger that we must learn to overcome. The next line in the verse, "You can make the mountains ring, or make the angels cry," implies the power humans have to make a powerful impact on the world around them, whether positive or negative.


The chorus of the song, "Come on people now, smile on your brother, everybody get together, try to love one another right now," reiterates the song's central message that humanity must learn to come together and show love to one another. The second verse encourages listeners to recognize the temporality of life and the importance of seizing moments of love and joy while they last. The bridge of the song emphasizes that every individual holds the power of love and fear in their hands and that just one key unlocks them both.


Overall, "Get Together" is a call to action for humanity to recognize the power of unity and love in changing the world for the better.


Line by Line Meaning

Love is but a song we sing
Love is like a melody that we create and sing together


Fears' the way we die
Fear is what keeps us away from living life to the fullest


You can make the mountains ring
You have the power to make anything happen, even the impossible


Or make the angels cry
You also have the power to cause harm and bring misery to the world


Though the dove is on the wing
Peace and harmony are always present, even in the midst of chaos


And you may not know why
Sometimes we can't understand why things happen the way they do


Come on people now
Let's join together and work towards a common goal


Smile on your brother
Spread kindness and positivity to everyone around you


Everybody get together
It's time for us to unite and collaborate for a better future


And try to love one another right now
We need to demonstrate our love and compassion towards each other, right away


Some may come and some may go
People will always be entering and exiting our lives


He will surely pass
Death is inevitable for all of us


When the one that left us here
When someone we lost returns back to us in some way


Returns for us at last
They come back to us in the end, in some form or another


We are but a moment's sunlight
Our existence is only temporary and fleeting


Fading in the grass
Our life eventually comes to an end and fades away


If you hear the song I sing
If you truly listen and understand my message


You will understand, listen
You will comprehend and pay attention to what I'm saying


You hold the key to love and fear
You have the power to create both love and fear in your life


All in your trembling hand
The power lies in your hands, but it's also a responsibility that can make you tremble


Just one key unlocks them both
There's only one way to overcome fear, and that's through love


It's there at your command
You have the ability to choose love over fear


Right now, right now
The time to act is now, without hesitation

Love is but a song we sing
Fear's the way we die
You can make the mountains ring
Or make the angels cry
Though the bird is on the wing
And you may not know why
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Some may come and some may go
He will surely pass
When the one that left us here
Returns for us at last
We are but a moment's sunlight
Fading in the grass
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
If you hear the song I sing
You will understand, listen
You hold the key to love and fear
All in your trembling hand
Just one key unlocks them both
It's there at your command
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother

Try to love one another right now
Come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
I said come on, people now
Smile on your brother
Everybody get together
Try to love one another right now
Right now
Right now

This is a great version of this song, with two of the best vocalists of the SF music scene ! Not many people realize the song was written by Dino Valenti, before he joined Quicksilver Messenger Service. The Youngbloods popularized it, and we're glad they did !

Lastname First

RIP Dino..Chet Powers
