I've just had a lovely afternoon jammin' to Bob Marley in Sefton Park near where I live. I don't know why but I feel a real spiritual connection to this park and I get sudden urges to pick myself up and drive there and I can guarantee, every time I get that feeling, I get there and find some kind of open air musical event going on that I was unaware of and I end up thoroughly enjoying myself.
Liverpool has a great mix of races, creeds and cultures and we often see only the negative side of Liverpool on the news or in the papers.
Today I was treated to some really excellent soul music by a lovely Jamaican bloke who sang his heart out and danced and brought the most wonderful atmosphere to the whole park. I couldn't help joining in and singing my own heart out too, I was 60 last week, I haven't sung for years so I was a bit out of tune but I surprised even myself when I started belting out this song -
One love, One heart
Let's get together and feel all right
Hear the children crying (One Love)
Hear the children crying (One Heart)
Sayin' give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Sayin' let's get together and feel all right
Let them all pass all their dirty remarks (One Love)
There is one question I'd really love to ask (One Heart)
Is there a place for the hopeless sinner
Who has hurt all mankind just to save his own?
Believe me
One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
As it was in the beginning (One Love)
So shall it be in the end (One Heart)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
One more thing
Let's get together to fight this Holy Armageddon (One Love)
So when the Man comes there will be no no doom (One Song)
Have pity on those whose chances grove thinner
There ain't no hiding place from the Father of Creation
Sayin' One Love, One Heart
Let's get together and feel all right
I'm pleading to mankind (One Love)
Oh Lord (One Heart)
Give thanks and praise to the Lord and I will feel all right
Let's get together and feel all right.
