  • This is a fabulous song. I'm in the music biz and didn't even realize I had this CD in my collection from when I programmed Electronica.  Amazing what we come across when we browse YouTube....

  • fair life when will we get the change

  • Amazing!

  • If love is the answer, what was the question?

  • Comment removed

  • I actually like this song better, much more smooth and mellow, though I do love Love is the awnser.

  • awesome song..

  • awesome music!!!!

  • The replacement is magic!

  • I hate it when WMG does that, but this instrumental music is very pretty and goes well with the video...

  • How Great God IS to give us such beauty!!! Thanks so much for sharing this with us. PLEASE tell me where I can find this song and buy it, download it, whatever!!!! Bless your heart for uploading it!!!!

  • cant you people just reminesce and enjoy a better time in this crazy old life, on a not so significant planet we call earth

  • @sadwings73 can't get your point

  • LOVE:)

  • This instrumental version is THE version I'd say. Is it available to purchase anywhere, or is it a edited version taken from the original vocal one (does not sound like an edit)???

    Need this version badly on CD, any one can help!!!

  • my daughter finally got it onto my computer without the video then u can download to a CD. if you still need the information I can get it from her. Let me know

  • Can someone tell me how to find this song to download on to a CD. I want the instrumental version, like this video.

  • i went to see the video on the link and it amazes me how powerful this song is. i hadn't heard it in years and never appreciated the lyrics like i do now. great video too!

  • If you have it [love], you don't need to have anything else, and if you don't have it,

    it doesn't matter much what else you have

  • The replacement is awsome!! =)

  • nice replacement song. HEY! maybe we could replace everything that says WARNER BROTHERS and remove them from our lives completely!!!

  • Thanks for the' more info'. I now know who sings the song. I listened to it, but don't like it as much as your version of it. I listen to it the last thing before going to bed. Thanks again for the post.

  • Like this song although I don't know what it is. Very soothing..

  • I agree, this was a good sounding instrumental. A cross between easy listening and Christian. Thanks for posting.

  • Once again, greed and studpidity committed by Warner Bros. amazes me. That said, this at least is a nice track to listen to, I actually rather like it. Enough so that i'd be willing to add their record to my collection. Good choice.

  • ¿qué pasó con mi canción favorita?

  • They took off "LOVE IS THE ANSWER" Which I love. However, I like the song they replaced it with. Do anyone out there know the name of this song and who performs it? I really like it. Help me find the answer.

  • See the side bar, click "more info", i added a screen shot at bottom of info.

  • @Jecohliah can you tell who's sing this song i love this version is smooth,love it

  • @TOPCOO I really like this also :}}

  • @TOPCOO -CINDY MORGAN...lOVE IS THE ANSWER...on cd...THE BEST SO FAR

  • splendid one.. it can help individuals meditate by listening to the music with a refreshing background.

  • youtube took the original song off due to it suposedly was against their rules.....

  • Yeah, I had some songs removed from my vids too even though in all cases the whole song wasn't used. There was one that I purposely made sound like a scratchy old record and they took that off too and suggested lame crap to replace it with. :( Oh well...

    I was looking for the karaoke of this. But nice to hear the original. It always reminds me of my parents. I had another "radioman" do a song dedication for them once.

  • This is very nice.

  • Thank you, muchas gracias, muito obrigado, maraming salamat, arigato gozaimasu, shay shay, kam sam ne dah.

  • you might hv better luck if you use Todd Rundgren's original of this song. More heartfelt..imho.

  • Great Song....Thanks for sending & sharing Mike....It might not be the only answer but it's certainly the BEST!

    Bob

  • great vid

  • wonderful.......

  • I came here looking for Dan Seals' "Love is the Answer" also! But, I fell in love with this song. Amazing!

  • the Dan Seals song was originally part of this video but got replaced.

  • excellent!!!

  • I came her looking for Dan Seals Love Is The Answer

    and this is awesome

  • Wow - what an inspirational video!

    I probably watch it more that anything on You Tube.

    I remember watching it before WMG removed the audio. I agree, it's a shame they couldn't just leave well enough alone! It always goes back to the bottom $!

    Thank you for reposting it on MySpace.

    There can always be subtle reminders of better days ahead in times like this!

  • I think it is really petty of WMG to remove the original recording from YouTube! Who was it hurting having it on here? So many of us loved this song so much! :(

  • This is a beautiful classic.  RIP Dan Seals.

  • Written by Todd Rundgren & first recorded by Utopia on 1977`s record 'Oops wrong planet'. COVERED by England Dan. (RIP)

  • True, but it's such a gorgeous cover compared to the original (yes, I've got Oops Wrong Planet on vinyl).

  • cool ..breezy.. jazz

    love it

    added as a favorite

  • Thanks for posting the song on your MySpace videos. Sorry the song was removed by the evil WMG. I like the song you have on here now. It reminds me of sailing on a ship...relaxing. :-)

  • love is the answer. treat as you would want to be treated, love always:)***

  • Dan Seals (England Dan) died today, may he rest in peace. The original song to this video was sung by England Dan & John Ford Coley.

  • Actually, I believe the original was written and recorded by Todd Rungren and covered by England Dan & John Ford Coley.

  • Love is THE answer.

    RIP Dan Seals,

    sing, sing, sing for the Kingdom.

  • Lovely and soothing. Thank you.

  • The Music Industry does not want any song with a Message thats points to God through Jesus Christ. Why do you think if RCA and Elvis Presley Concert workers had there way Elvis Presley would only song Rock and Roll Songs and no Gospel,Inspirational and Ballad Songs.

  • Elvis said by 1974 screw you all,I am going to do them. My Life does not revolved around Rock and Roll. I lost missed My Mother in her last days dying and lost My Wife Priscilla because of it.

  • I think this WMG trying to get people to go put and buy the music...what they don't realize is that youtube offers them FREE ADVERTISEMENT with these videos, if someone heard this for the first time altogether of in years, they might go out and buy it, but since they're doing this, they're shooting themselves in both feet with an elephant gun, since we can't listen to it here.

  • This really cheers my day up! I just wish WMG would see sense! I have always loved the song, and the way the visuals are put together shows real talent - so thanks for adding the link. Thanks x

  • Shame on the music industry for doing this...this was a moderate big hit in 1979...I bought the single. Ironic. But yet, you never hear this on the radio today. You call that promotion? The music industry doesn't get it...

  • What happened to the England Dan and John Ford Coley version?

    And I agree eli4777, it's a shame that you never hear this song on the radio.

  • Thanks for reposting this on myspace, i've just put it in my favorites! It really is a wonderful video......

  • Check out their stock (WMG) price since they went public. You can do that on Yahoo Finance, It was $30/share. Now $1.74. Soon to be a penny stock, I presume.

    Yes, a public company. So why not buy a share for $1.75 and you will be a voting stockholder. Enough of us could buy the company.

    They will be required to send you postal mail quarterly ( That alone will cut into their profits even more). In their annual report, you can see what the company is doing and who in the company owns what.

  • wow! the soul just oozes from you,why give broker advice on something that comes from the heart? let music be music.

  • I had this song posted in my blog on myspace. Just noticed it had been deleted. That was a great music vid. I am glad you still have your vid. It's also well done and will re post!

  • Im with everyone...this is BS...excuse my language. This song and video really meant something to me. Jecohliah...thanks for being U.

  • What is wrong with WEA / WMG?. For heaven's sake they need to get real. This is 2009 not 1979 (when this track was a single by the way). Listening to it on here actually made me search out the best of CD by ED & JFC. They got a sale out of me hearing it here.

  • That sucks. I loved this song. A big favorite. What's the big deal? All we can do is listen to it anyway. Not like we can download it off of here.

  • if you have the right programme you can dowload it from here...

  • I was wondering where you got the instrumental version of believe in.Cool song.

  • Since they removed the sound track i had originally on it, they would not even display my Vid without me choosing a replacement Sound Track from a list that was provide by Youtube and i just picked it from that list.

  • I loved the video you did to Love is the Answer. Why did they have to screw with it. You can't hear that song anywhere else on line. After a hard day's work , I listened to it to relax me and the video was beautiful. Can't you put it back up?

  • Thank you for such a beautiful video. It's so sad that it had to be altered. Why is Love always disregarded for money.  So sad. May God Bless you and all of us Always.

  • Thanks for the link to myspace! This was the first video I ever favorited! I sure would have missed it. It's just such a beautiful and uplifting song. You did an amazing video for it.

  • Thank you for the myspace link to this song....love this song!

  • Delete video if you can't go back to original song not understanding why??????? It was one of the best on Youtube Jecohliah what are you thinking???

  • I agree with you guys. It's a shame they removed the audio to this song. This song is an inspirational tune. We live in a lost world. Everyone should here about the wonderful news of Jesus Christ.

  • What happened to England Dan and John Ford Coley song?

    Probably people on You Tube hate Love and God.

  • What a pity that wmg took the audio away from such a wonderful song.This song and some others need to be heard daily.

  • Sorry, WMG (aka Satan) took down the Audio Track to this Video. Look at my Channel for a link to it on Myspace, thanks everybody for all the wonderful comments! Much LOVE!!!

  • @Jecohliah IF WE WANTO SEND AN EFFECTIVE MESSAGE, LET'S

    BOYCOTT ALL SONY PRODUCTS!!!!!!!!!!! WMG IS SONY , IT CAN BE DONE PEOPLE!!!!

  • @Jecohliah i love this version too who's play this song...?

  • Great...great music that is just amazing!

  • One of Todd Rundgren's great moments as a composer, and a cool cover of the Utopioa song by England Dan and John.

  • still brilliant brings back good memories.

  • It's songs like these that made the 70's such an unforgettable decade.

  • they should play this when abarma signs in today...england.

  • This is a great song and stellar video thank you.

  • Thank you Penny

  • Still makes me cry after so many years.

  • GOD IS LOVE

  • simply beautiful!! thanks penny for sending!

  • great message! wish more picked up on it!

  • I love this sooooo much! It is perfection in everyway..thank you to Todd Rundgren for writing this masterpiece.

  • This a great track. Are folks aware that the title is (most likely) inspired by a fantastic painting by Holman Hunt. Check it out, its amazing. I saw it in St Pauls Cathedral (London). It was positioned so that the mid morning sun hit it full on. Amazing!

  • All You Need Is LOVE, LOVE Is All You Need!

  • One of my all-time favorite songs...ever!!!

    I would have found it...

  • This song can save your soul...

    if you'll just let it.

  • This song is relevant today more than ever.

  • Beautiful song, Beautiful photos to go along with it. Excellent job tying the audio and the visual. I could listen to this song over and over and over again.

  • Most impressed with your interpretation. Thanks

  • Ain't it so true!!!...Love is the one answer that matters above all others...Great Song!!

  • God Bless You All!!! What Wonderful Comments!!!

  • This is indeed 1 of the best songs out there!It helps me when Iam feeling down and reminds me just how blessed Iam.Let the light shine on us all!

  • Well said pftdx. You are as deep as this song is! The best post I have ever read on youtube! The world needs more peeps like you and me who appreciate the small stuff of Life! Hope you read this!

  • I dont understand why it is that todays songwriters cant do music this good. I know times change and all, and maybe I'm just showing my age, but there doesnt seem to be any memorable melodies or harmonies in today's written music.

  • I need to listen to this more often. Prior posts asked what happened to the our carefree days. We now live in a world of envy,selfishness,materialism,a­nd fear. When these feelings start,I think of this song and try to remember to be thankful for the things I have,others,charity,and at least an effort to understand those in unfortunate/desperate circumstances (self inflicted,environment,or poor choices)with compassion.

    I've come to believe that most of us are good at heart, like you and me.

  • one of my all time favorites

  • Such a great song! There aren't songs like this anymore. Listening to this song brings back memories. The quality of today's song on the radio is crap. I remember listening to this song on the radio as a kid and I could never get the words right,(LoL) but the words I understood & sung was: Love is the answer. I guess those words are universal...even in today's society. Today's music has NO creativity, quality, or originality. It's a shame. Video to this song is very touching. Great job!

  • GREAT JOB! AND A GREAT SONG!!

  • Such an awesome song the lyrics are so beautiful. Super video and so touching. Thank you.

  • I have to agree with everyone, I loved this song in the 70's and then when Cindy Morgan redid it in the 90's... it's a beautiful song and it's actually been on my mind while doing volunteer work. It's inspiring to reach out to those around us who need an extra hand.

  • Peace b with all of u...

  • Very BEAUTIFUL song & vido,like this vido so very much!!!!!!!!!!

  • Simply one of the best songs ever written and recorded!!Need more of these.I have loved it since I first heard it.There are songs and their are songs of magnitude!!This one hits it out of the ballpark into the heavens.

  • The best video with a song I have ever watched! so very touching! thank you xoxoxo

  • Did anyone know this song was written by Todd Rundgren? That explains alot of the reason why song is so good.

  • Yes, I know that Todd Rundgren wrote this and so many other beautiful songs on his own productions. The song gives me such a good feeling that is partly nostalgic for the time of its release. This and many other wonderful songs from that and other eras are part of what keeps me going today.

  • Easy times, still a measure of innocense to be had. This song was one of those I drove around town listening to with my first love. Back in the 70's it was a great time to be in high school when we never had to worry about guns or violence. Just a light breezy time full of hope for ourselves and the world. What happened people? when was it taken from us? Did we create this world we now live in or is there some evil cloud sweeping over us. Take a stand before its too late.

  • You know I ask myself the same question, many a time..maybe it was the chase for the "almighty dollar"..and look where it got us today..but the 70's was a beautiful time to grow up..as you say.."Breezy"..keep the faith guy!

  • What a faboulous interpretation of this song!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!!!

  • light of the world shine on me,this is my favorite line in this song,the lord will shine on you if you let him.

  • GOOD STUFF. TRUE ??? Be Well & Blessings Bro !

  • i heard this song the day we brought our younger daughter home from the hospital. it has always reminded me of her. and 13 yrs later, the song describes her perfectly. she cares so much for other people, their feelings and if they are safe. such a beautiful soul and person. we are so blessed that god gave her to us.

  • Good song good vid

    Spread the Love around!!

    At the end of the day that's what the reason for living is for..
