Hear Robbie Robertson’s John Lennon-inspired new song 'Let Love Reign'
. “I guess I’m at an age now – a place in my journey – where I don’t care what you think. I’ll tell you anyway!”
That sentiment is clear on “Let Love Reign,” the latest release from the album, where Robertson talks about remaining optimistic in an age of paranoia and fear. “Woke up in a cold sweat,” Robertson sings over a swampy shuffle, “was that thunder that I heard, or bombs dropping from a jet?” He ultimately pushes these thoughts aside for a hopeful chorus, where he’s joined by Irish balladeer Glen Hansard.
In a statement, Robertson says the message of “Let Love Reign” was inspired by John Lennon. “Some people think John Lennon’s dream about love and togetherness went up in flames,” said Robertson. “I think that’s wrong. It’s everlasting. There was something a little naive about John Lennon going around singing about peace, but in that period young people celebrating love and peace helped end a war.
