Gary Wright - Love Is Alive (Midnight Special, 1976)

Keyboardist/Songwriter Gary Wright performing "Love Is Alive" on the Midnight Special TV show, 1976. Featuring a young Steve Porcaro {keyboards for TOTO, Michael Jackson, Herb Alpert, Pablo Cruise, Brothers Johnson, etc.} on synthesizers along with rockin' ladies on cowbell + tambourine ;-) Awesome Minimoog bass. Enjoy this great song from the 70's decade of musical innovation, legendary songwriting & musicianship : )

-= Lyrics =- ♪ ♫

Well, I think it's time to get ready
To realize just what I have found
I have lived only half of what I am
It's all clear to me now -

My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turnin'
My love is alive

There's something inside that's making me crazy
I'll try to keep it together
'Cause what I say may not happen the same way
Now could be, forever...

My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turnin'
My love is alive
My love is alive,

There's a mirror moving, inside my mind
Reflecting the love that you shine on me=-
Hold on now to that feelin'..
Let it flow, let it grow, ya, ya

My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turnin'
My love is alive =-

All "cowbell humor" aside that simple instrument really carries the song....

[rg2027x]

cowbell is a very underrated instrument

[bradleyhayman]

You have to love any performance that has 3 guys playing 6 synthesizers and two hot chicks in karate gis wailing on percussion

The world today could use a little more COWBELL!

How ANYONE could NOT like this song and video is beyond me, let alone 40+ people! Really people? Never knew who did this song, just looked it up today and found this awesome video! Wow, Gary Wright may well have been one of the first synth bands in history, right there with Kraftwerk! This is just awesome!
