Everybody's Gotta Live

Love's song 'Everybody's Gotta Live' is a poignant reflection on the universal experiences of life and death. The lyrics emphasize the inevitability of both living and dying, urging listeners to embrace the present moment. The repetition of the lines 'Everybody's gotta live / And everybody's gonna die' serves as a reminder of our shared human condition, highlighting the importance of making the most out of life while we can.

The song also touches on the highs and lows of life, acknowledging that while there are moments of joy and fulfillment, there are also times of hardship. The verse 'Sometimes the going gets so good / Then again it gets pretty rough' captures this duality. However, the presence of a loved one provides solace and a sense of completeness, as expressed in the lines 'But when I have you in my arms baby / You know I just can't, I just can't get enough.' This suggests that love and companionship are essential in navigating life's ups and downs.

A particularly striking image in the song is the blind man playing the blues on the street corner. Despite his inability to see, he finds a way to express himself and find joy through music. This serves as a metaphor for resilience and the human spirit's ability to find beauty and meaning even in challenging circumstances. The song ultimately encourages listeners to live fully and appreciate the time they have, as encapsulated in the recurring line 'Everybody's try to have a good time / I think you know the reason why.'
