about

Hugo den Oudsten (bass) & Marle Thomson (ukulele / vocals) recorded this all time classic during the Covid-19 regulations (stay at home as much as possible!) trying to send a little love to the world. It was recorded at home using 1 mic for the the instruments and 1 mic for vocals.

lyrics

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, for everyone.

What the world needs now is love, sweet love
