Listen to the Music -- Doobie Brothers


Don't you feel it growin',  Day by day  People  Gettin' ready for the news  Some are happy,
Some are sad  , we got to let the music play  , oh yeah  What the people need
Is a way to make 'em smile  It ain't so hard to do if you know how  Gotta get a message
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
We'll be happy  And we'll dance  we're gonna dance the blues away  oh yeah
And if I'm feelin' good to you  And you're feelin' good to me
There ain't nothin' we can't do or say  Feelin' good,  Feeling fine   baby, let the music play
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music  Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music
Wo, oh, oh, listen to the music  All the time 


Like a lazy flowing river  Surrounding castles in the sky  And the crowd is growing bigger
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."                                                      (songfacts)
