Have you ever heard about Andrea Ross? For them who haven’t, just read her profile at www.andreaross.com

and here’s the link to the song: what the world needs now is love

I started to know her accidentally, when I borrowed my sister’s mp3s. I found Andrea’s album, Moon River. Because I’m a big fan of Henry Mancini’s Moon River – & also Breakfast at Tiffany’s – so I copied the album. I was lucky, I think, ‘coz the songs are wonderful! They’re all remade, but I don’t see anything wrong for it.

One of them titled ‘what the world needs now is love’. Yeah, this world’s really lack of love. If there’s enough love for everyone, not just for some, then there’ll be no wars or fights. Here are my fave lines of this song:

Lord, we don’t need another mountains. There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb, there are oceans and rivers enough ch to cross, enough to last ’til the end of time.

Lord, we don’t need another meadows. There are cornfields and wheatfields enough to grow, there are sun beams and moon beams enough to shine. Oh listen Lord, if You wanna know.

Yes, God created this world with enough mountains, rivers, meadows… But people destroyed them. Now we don’t have enough rivers or meadows. The lack of love made us lost those what God gave us. This song made me think a bit more about life, about what we’re really lack of. But then, who could produce love and spread it all over the world? I’d love to give as much love as I can, though I don’t achieve much. Giving is much better than achieving. So, spending life by giving love is enough, isn’t it?

Anyway, I wonder who composed this song. Does anybody know?
