Don't you feel it growin', Day by day People Gettin' ready for the news Some are happy,

Get it on through now mama's goin' to after awhile Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music oh, oh, listen to the music All the time
Well I know, You know better Everything I say Meet me in the country for a day

List'nin' for the happy sounds And I got to let ‘em fly Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music All the time
The Doobie Brothers' first hit, this was written by the band's lead vocalist Tom Johnston, who also played guitar on the track. He told us about this song: "It was all based around this somewhat Utopian view of the world. The idea was that music would lift man up to a higher plane, and that world leaders, if they were able to sit down on some big grassy knoll where the sun was shining and hear music - such as the type I was playing - would figure out that everybody had more in common than they had not in common, and it was certainly not worth getting in such a bad state of affairs about. Everybody in the world would therefore benefit from this point of view. Just basically that music would make everything better. And of course I've since kind of realized it doesn't work that way."
