We Are All God’s Children
The New Birth
Love Potion, 1976
Friendster/MySpace are more than worthless time-wasters! Here’s a great example: I listed New Birth as one of my favorite groups on my friendster profile last year and a DJ in Tokyo sent me a message telling me had recorded about 6 of their albums from vinyl would be happy to mail me copies of them. I have to say I was a little suspicious at first but I checked out his website and he had clips of New Birth lip-syncing on Soul Train and everything so I decided to send him my address. A few weeks later I got three CDRs in the mail and one of them had this song on it.
Now, I’m not a religious man but there is something really…redeeming about this song. It always struck me as a song about hardship even though its not directly in the lyrics. I’ve been listening to it off and on for months but it’s definitely moved back up my most-played list since the hurricane.
