All You Need Is Love

Isn't it foolish?  You hear a song so many times you stop hearing it.  Then one day you catch it on the radio and think -- wait, I've entirely misunderstood this.  I always took 'all you need is love' to be a general transcendental statement: this is the only needful thing in our being-in-the-world.  But I wonder if it isn't styled here more specifically.  The song says: so, you want to perform these various actions (you want to do something, you want to sing something, you want to say something -- you want to makesave, learn something ...) and you can't pull it off?  It's easy! You need this one thing, this missing ingredient ...

Here: see for yourselves.
