TFT: The Bellamy Brothers


Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world.  For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion.  Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Let Your Love Flow
The Bellamy Brothers
There’s a reason
For the sunshinin’ sky
And there’s a reason
Why I’m feelin’ so high
Must be the season
When that love light shines
All around us
So let that feelin’
Grab you deep inside
And send you reelin’
Where your love can’t hide
And then go stealin’
Through the moonlit nights
With your lover

Just let your love flow
Like a mountain stream
And let you love grow
With the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you’ll know what I mean
It’s the season
Let your love fly
Like a bird on a wing
And let your love bind you
To all livin’ things
And let your love shine
And you’ll know what I mean
That’s the reason

There’s a reason
For the warm sweet nights
And there’s a reason
For the candlelights
Must be the season
When those love lights
Shine all around us
See let that wonder
Take you into space
And I lay you under
It’s lovin’ embrace
Just feel the thunder
As it warms your face
You can’t hold back

Just let your love flow
Like a mountain stream
And let your love grow
With the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you’ll know what I mean
It’s the season
Let your love fly
Like a bird on a wing
And let your love bind you
To all livin’ things
And let your love shine
And you’ll know what I mean
That’s the reason
Just let your love flow
Like a mountain stream
And let your love grow
With the smallest of dreams
And let your love show
And you’ll know what I mean
It’s the season
Let your love fly
Like a bird on a wing
And let your love bind you
To all livin’ things
And let your love shine
And you’ll know what I mean
That’s the reason


Old Hippie
The Bellamy Brothers
He turned 35 last Sunday
In his hair he found some gray
But he still ain’t changed his lifestyle
He likes it better the old way
So he grows a little garden
In the backyard by the fence
He’s consumin’ what he’s growin’
Nowadays in self-defense
He gets out there in the twilight zone
Sometimes
When it just don’t make no sense

He gets off on country music
‘Cause disco left him cold
And he’s got young friends in a new way
But he’s just too frickin’ old
And he dreams at night of Woodstock
And the Day John Lennon died
How the music made him happy
And the silence made him cry
Yeah he thinks of John sometimes
And he has to wonder why

‘Cause he’s an old hippie
And he don’t know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new
He’s an old hippie
This new life is just a bust
He ain’t tryin’ to change nobody
He’s just tryin’ real hard to adjust

He was sure back in the sixties
That everyone was hip
Then they sent him off to Vietnam
On his senior trip
And they forced him to become a man
While he was still a boy
And behind each wave of tragedy
He waited for the joy
Now this world may change around him
But he just can’t change no more

‘Cause he’s an old hippie
And he don’t know what to do
Should he hang on to the old
Should he grab on to the new
He’s an old hippie
This new life is just a bust
He ain’t tryin’ to change nobody
He’s just tryin’ real hard to adjust

Well he stays away a lot now
From the parties and the clubs
And he’s thinkin’ while he’s joggin’ around
Sure is glad he quit the hard drugs
‘Cause him and his kind
Get more endangered everyday
And pretty soon the species
Will just up and fade away
Like the smoke from that torpedo
Just up and fade away

Yeah he’s an old hippie
And he don’t know what to do
Should he hand on to the old
Should he grab on to the new
He’s an old hippie
This new life is just a bust
He ain’t tryin’ to change nobody
He’s just tryin’ real hard to adjust

Yeah he ain’t tryin’ to change nobody
He’s just tryin’ real hard to adjust

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ryan!!! To tell you the truth, I hadn't heard either one of those songs, nor had any thoughts about The Bellamy Brothers, in years before thinking about what to match up with The Gatlin Brothers from last week. "Let Your Love Flow" was a big cross-over hit for them, and I fell in love with "Old Hippie" as soon as it hit the airways 30 some years ago (I think).
