about
This relaxed reggaeton groove features twin Takamine acoustics (panned in stereo) playing a smooth arpeggiated pattern with lots of open strings. There is also a Fender Rhodes playing sustained chords in the A section and then switching to staccato quarter notes on two and four in the B section. The cowbell plays in the B section and the triangle plays in the A section. They both play during the bridge. The high tenor vocal is complimented by two baritone backing vocals - also panned in stereo. The beginnings and the endings of the major sections of the piece are also nicely flavored with an Oriental gong and a rainmaker.
The lyrics are simple and to the point: If there is no tribulation, there is no love and there is no celebration. The bridge expresses the sentiment that peace is to be taken down from the heavens and allowed to flow freely. It is then up to everybody to pass it around the world...
...so there may be peace around the world.

LYRICS
'Cause this ain't no love song (ain't no love song), 'cause this ain't no celebration, no no no...
'Cause this ain't no love song (ain't no love song), 'cause if there ain't no tribulation, just...
Take what you see (take what you see), and all that you feel (all that you feel), and eventually, it's real...
'Cause this ain't no love song (ain't no love song), 'cause this ain't no celebration, no no no...
'Cause this ain't no love song (ain't no love song), 'cause if there ain't no tribulation, just...
Take what you see (take what you see), and all that you feel (all that you feel), and eventually, it's real...
Takin' it down, Follow it through, Pass it around, It's all up to you...
'Cause this ain't no love song (ain't no love song), 'cause this ain't no celebration, no no no...
'Cause this ain't no love song (ain't no love song), 'cause if there ain't no tribulation, just...
Take what you see (take what you see), and all that you feel (all that you feel), and eventually, it's real...
Well this ain't no love song, well this ain't no celebration.
