About

Use of the label “world music” reached its peak in the 1980s and ’90s, with albums like Paul Simon’s Graceland and the launching of record companies like Putumayo World Music. As with “Punk Love” and “Experimental Music Love,” Merritt is having a dig at a few musical styles.

World Love Lyrics

Love, love, love, music, wine and revolution

So if you're feeling low, stuck in some bardo
I, even I, know the solution
Love, music, wine and revolution
