This was my beautiful brother Michael’s favorite song. He was autistic and so troubled and this song soothed him during the bad times. We lost him in 1967. I hope he is surrounded by love on the other side.

"What the World Needs Now Is Love" is a 1965 popular song with lyrics by Hal David and music composed by Burt Bacharach. First recorded and made popular by Jackie DeShannon, it was released on April 15, 1965. That's 55 years ago in 2020! Even though the message was sent so many years ago. We can't give up. Spread the love people!

Do you realize this was a recording made to raise money following the horrific mass shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, FL eight years ago? Well, one thing that I realize is that in New Zealand such a tragedy would never happen and I envy you folks because of that. Be safe and always love the music.

[@marcussimkin8367]

​@@FredericKahlerHi. Just received your comment. Still a great song. I commented on the video five years ago because New Zealand did have a mass shooting incident. "The Christchurch mosque shootings were two consecutive mass shootings on two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand on 15 March 2019." One murderer killed 51 people and injured 40. NZ is fortunate to not have many incidents like this and we have had stronger gun laws since.

[@rubinlatz4256]

O M G ! Rest in Peace, and Heavenly Music, Burt Bacharach. Thank you for this, and for so many other touchstones and gemstones.

Perfection! I live in Brevard County & can appreciate the compassion these professionals were willing to put towards the victims in Orlando! Bless your heart for organizing all this talent & putting every cent where it belong! Hard to believe years have passed in 2022, seems like yesterday.

@Watson Everly it's not anti-earth, it's pro-love, food for the soul is love. I meant song for the earth, as in song for all creatures. With love, they're is peace. With love, there is caring. With love, there is combined work to make things better. The song is saying, God... We don't need another mountain, in that what's created is already beautiful, but what we lack, is love.

[@FredericKahler]

All these phrasings, these styles The great sadnesses behind the smiles As the Broadway personnel walk the miles and miles To Orlando, to Pulse, to the dead and maimed That it be now and forever proclaimed In heaven, on earth, in the darkness inhale And sing with all glory that "Love must prevail" With horns and melismas, chanting and wail, "Love is love is love is love is love" and "Love must prevail" It's the only thing we lack, only item left The easiest little offer yet the easiest theft Inside we must never forget, nor flag in our ways That pride is love is love for all of us 'til the end of our days!

[@shenny7106]

What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No not just for some but for everyone. Lord, we don't need another mountain, There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb There are oceans and rivers enough to cross, Enough to last till the end of time. What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No, not just for some but for everyone. Lord, we don't need another meadow There are cornfields and wheat fields enough to grow There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine Oh listen, lord, if you want to know. What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No, not just for some but for everyone. No, not just for some, oh, but just for everyone.
