Former Youngbloods frontman performs “hippie national anthem” “Get Together” and other songs from his home studio
Surrounded by his guitars from over the years, the singer-songwriter starts off the segment by reminding everyone that “it’s a time where we need to pull together; we need each other.” Then he jumps into an acoustic rendition of the 1974 track “Light Shine.” Young then performs “Walk the Talk,” the title track of a 2001 solo album where he collaborated with his son Cheyenne Young, godson Ethan Turner, and former Youngbloods member Lowell “Banana” Levinger.
Young closes with a fan favorite, “Get Together,” sometimes known as the hippie national anthem. “Come on, people now/Smile on your brother/Everybody get together/And try to love one another right now,” he sings. The song featured on the group’s self-titled debut and was released as a single in 1967.
“Join us in making a song quilt of the chorus of ‘Get Together,'” Young said. “Make a video of you and your people singing the chorus of ‘Get Together,’ or two. In the key of G would be best, but any way is good,” he added with a laugh. Young has been collecting videos of people all over the world singing the chorus to this track for the past few months. He tells his fans to use #GetTogetherAgain and tag Jesse Colin Young to embrace the message of the lyrics.
