No question, Neil Diamond was inspired to write this song after he had attended a Revival Meeting. A Spiritual thread is woven through many of Neil Diamonds songs. Seems Brother Love left quite an impression by preaching the words that speak to the soul. Never having met Brother Love, I admire him for his work and the influence he had on Neil. In time Neil's concerts emulated Brother Love and inspired the souls from young to old. May God Bless All the children that make up humanity.
BROTHERS!...I say Brothers!...Now you got yourself TWO good hands...and when your brother is in trouble you gotta reach out your one hand for him!...'cuz that's what it's there for...And when your heart is in trouble you gotta reach out your other hand...reach it out to THE MAN up there!...'cuz that's what He's there for...
You're emphasizing too much on the word "brother love" here. The preacher's name is "Brother Love" hence the apostrophe at the end of Love with a capital letter, mind you, in the phrase "Brother Love's Traveling Salvation Show" It's referring to a person. The song is about a revival hence the reference to "brothers" in the old southern gospel town near the end...not about war.

i say : music is open to indivual interpretation.....thats what music is about.
@italianman004 Sometime love is war. Abraham and Sarah were half brother and sister. It is an archetype of twin souls as discussed in Song of Solomon.

Remember when all the info was to the right of the video
Remember you could rate a video 1-5 stars
Remember the famous yellow subscribe button
Remember when the users controlled the site and now corporations?
WE MISS THE OLD YOUTUBE!

Just listen to the song, and it will be clear that he doesn't so much speak of church but at the very moment one is in war.
Just listen to every word itn it shall be quite clear, war is no doubt the time for brother love.
