Back in 2007 Brian Wilson was honoured by the  Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (you can read their evaluation of him at here: Brian Wilson | Explore the Arts | Kennedy Center). Some of the Libera boys performed his "Love and Mercy" at the concert in his honour. They’ve given more polished performances in the studio perhaps, but I like live performances, and as you’ll see in the video, Wilson definitely approved. Here goes. Lyrics below the video. Enjoy 🙂

Lyrics

I was sittin’ in a crummy movie

With my hands on my chin

all the violence that occurs

Seems like we never win

Love and mercy that’s what you need tonight

Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

I was lying in my room

And the news came on TV

A lotta people out there hurtin’

And it really scares me

Love and mercy that’s what you need tonight

Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

I was standing in a bar

And watching all the people there

Oh the loneliness in this world

Well it’s just not fair

Love and mercy that’s what we need tonight

Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight
