about

From Virginia: I wrote this as a message of pure joy, for our band and all bands; not as individuals but as the thing we create when we come together.

Often included as an encore track - a celebration of a good time spent together, and of course, providing the title of this compilation!

lyrics

Let The Music Speak – words and music by Virginia Kettle

We don’t do fashion,
Please don’t dictate to us what we should wear,
We have come here for the atmosphere,
To put a little rhythm in our blood.

We’re not conceited,
We didn’t come here for the ego ride,
But when we move together side by side,
Sisters and brothers we are u-u-unified.

Let the music speak for itself, itself,
Yeah let the music speak for itself, itse-elf.

I learned to kick it,
From a Bolivian in Pakistan,
And though he was not a wealthy man,
He was wise beyond compare, oh yeah!

He said that rhythm,
Has no place in politics and war,
But when we move together on the dancefloor,
There is no black or white, no rich or poor,

Let the music speak for itself, itself,
Yeah let the music speak for itself, itse-elf.


Although our future’s uncertain,
Trust in the music, your soul she will feed,
Losing our faith in possessions,
We only need what we need.

Although our future’s uncertain,
Trust in the music, your soul she will feed,
Losing our faith in possessions,
We only need what we need, what we need, what we need, what we need.

Let the music speak for itself, itself,
Yeah let the music speak for itself, itse-elf.

Let the music speak for itself, itself,
Yeah let the music speak for itself, itse-elf.
Let the music speak for itself, itself,
Yeah let the music speak for itself, itse-elf.
