about

One Love is the seventh track of Paradise Garage which is the third section of The Comedie Of Robert Kennedy. The Comedie Of Robert Kennedy is part autobiography, part epic poem, part spoken word piece, part musical collage assembled from the contributions of 217 friends, strangers and bandmates - it's Rob K's three and a half hour musical journey to the afterlife following the roadmap of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. The Comedie Of Robert Kennedy has been completely illustrated by Andreas Rausch (Zappaesque) who has added an incredible visual vocabulary and thoroughly remastered by Jim Waters (Blues Explosion, RL Burnside). The Comedie Of Robert Kennedy will be available later in 2022

lyrics

ONE LOVE

one love
believe it

her scent
slash of sunlight through wooden blinds
brilliant bars
splash blue afternoon walls
outside trade winds sigh
overhead a ceiling fan turns lazily
this perfect moment
that goes on and on and on
forever
surrender
one love
believe it

I believe that looking into the eyes of love-
looking into your eyes-
time and space cease to exist
nothing matters
is all that matters
until even we cease to exist

in each other

one love
believe it

in your eyes cerulean depths
unnamable azure waters
I see us at fifteen and sixteen
was that yesterday
or tomorrow

trancendental
elemental
essential
one love
believe it

truth may be subjective
news might be fake
I believe beauty exists
for its own sake
symmetry, sequence, chaos-
all of it-
everything inspires love
everything is love
love is supreme consciousness
sometimes called god
believe it

almost out of hearing waves break
children giggle quietly
cats purr with contentment
the taste of ambrosia is on our lips
incense in the air
gossamer curtains stir
skin silken touch
elemental fluid
vanquished by your eyes
again and again
and again

one love
believe it
