about
Love is what we need to carry on. What else is there to say? Let’s be honest, the past year and a half has been pretty rough for a lot of people. There was a series of unfortunate events, and as a result, a lot of people are not getting along. If we can all have a little more empathy, show more kindness, and give a little more love, we can start moving that needle. We can’t solve all the world’s problems, but hopefully this song can help lift spirits and spread some positivity. If we’re going to carry on, and let’s hope we do, let’s do it with music and dancing and a whole lotta love!
lyrics
STOP! Attune your frequency to my words
Quit your running, truth is coming
LOOK! I'm up on the balcony, screaming, shouting
I won’t sew up my big mouth for you
LOVE! You better believe in all you’ve heard about it
Everyone’s hurting, we're burning alive
Everyone’s yearning to share a high five
Open the curtains and open your eyes
Love is what we need to carry on
Love is what we need to carry on
SNAP! Back to the reality of the world
Raise your peepers from your sneakers
CLAP! Along to the beat if you can’t live without it
Out of breath from diving deep for pearls
Still I’m thinking ‘bout
LOVE! You better believe in all you’ve heard about it
Love is what we need to carry on
Love is what we need to carry on
Everyone’s tryin' to kiss all their friends
Everyone’s cryin' and missin' romance
Baby I’m dyin' to go out and dance
Love is what we need to carry on
Love is what we need to carry on

Cory Hotline is a cosmic collision of funk, pop, rock and disco; the kind of band you might expect to see at a raucous dance
party in space. Comprised of meticulously selected talent from Toronto's live music scene, Cory Hotline is a synthesis of retro nostalgia and future-facing funk with the pop sense of Maroon 5 and Michael Jackson....more
