so it depends on my mood, sometimes this and #4 switch places. but lately, i'm thinking this is my #3 for sure. now we are getting into the really good stuff. and when i say that, i mean #378 on the list of the 500 greatest songs of all time by rolling stone. it's beyond epic. this is sone of those songs that you turn up super loud, and before you know it you're singing at the top of your lungs with your eyes closed. or at least i do. the song is written about martin luther king jr, which makes it all the more inspirational. to me, this begins the progression of songs that are more than songs - they are life philosophies. it's all in the name of love - fighting for what you believe in, fighting against injustice everywhere... whatever it is, it's all in the name of love.
this is pride (in the name of love), from 1984's the unforgettable fire.
one man come in the name of love
one man come and go.
one man come he to justify
one man to overthrow.
in the name of love
what more in the name of love.
in the name of love
what more in the name of love.
one man caught on a barbed wire fence
one man he resist
one man washed up on an empty beach
one man betrayed with a kiss.
in the name of love
what more in the name of love.
in the name of love
what more in the name of love.
early morning, april four
shot rings out in the memphis sky.
free at last, they took your life
they could not take your pride.
in the name of love
what more in the name of love.
in the name of love
what more in the name of love.
in the name of love
what more in the name of love.
in the name of love
what more in the name of love.
