(Impressions – Never Too Much Love)
you know what…I’m angry. angry with the mountain of useless information that is burying wisdom. why? allow me to break it down…today I ran a search for Curtis Mayfield lyrics. first stop lyrics.com. can you believe Curtis wasn’t even listed !!! let me say that again…..not even listed…
my conclusion..waste of time unless youre looking for the words to popular, (commercial), songs.
only way to do it then is for me to transcribe them myself…there are a few sites with some lyrics on them but I won’t waste your time linking them so in future I won’t be promoting any ‘lyrics’ sites on themusicologist
if anything it has strengthened my resolve to fly the flag for artists like Curtis and keep them in the public domain…back to the music with this uncomplicated plea for unity from 1963. if you think about it who else was writing and performing songs as deep as this at that time?
“after silence that which comes closest to expressing the inexpressible is music.”
-aldous huxley-
.. listen them lyrics
too much love, too much love,
never in this world will there be too much love
never too much love, too much love,
never in this world will there be too much love
an old story told now passed from me to you
in simple little words to get my meaning through
young and old I feel will understand
take heed everybody to a wonderful plan
we all know how, get together right now
clap your hands, sing and shout
never too much love, too much love,
never in this world will there be too much love
never too much love, too much love,
never in this world will there be too much love
maybe you don’t know how to sing or express words the way you like to say
but everybody I know can clap their hands and make a new friend everyday
never too much love, too much love,
never in this world will there be too much love
never too much love, too much love,
never in this world will there be too much love
Curtis Mayfield, Rest In Peace secure in the knowledge that your legacy and inspiration lives on.
