What's a Matter you People
Kelly Family · Other Songs - Kelly Family
where there is injury they sow pardon
where there is friction they sow union
and error thruth doubt faith
where there's dispair they sow hope
where there's darkness light and where there's sadness joy
what's a matter you people, what's a matter you say
what's a matter you people, it's gonna be a bright sunshiny day
where there's love there is also pain
they do not seek to be consoled as much as to console
or to be understood as to understand
or to be loved as to love for it is in giving that they recieve
and in pardoning that they are pardoned
and in dying that they are born to eternal life
what's a matter you people, what's a matter you say
what's a matter you people, it's gonna be a bright sunshiny day
to save one's soul save one's life
save one's soul save one's life
to save one's soul save one's life
save one's soul save one's life
these are the instruments of peace
what's a matter you people, what's a matter you say
what's a matter you people, it's gonna be a bright sunshiny day
save one's soul save one's life
save one's soul save one's life
save one's soul save one's life
pilgrim walking pilgrim talking pilgrim walking
What's a Matter you People
Kelly Family's 'What's a Matter you People' stands as a defining track within their extensive catalogue of folk-rock and country music. Recorded in the late 1960s, the song exemplifies the band's signature blend of acoustic instrumentation and socially conscious lyricism. As part of their broader body of work, the recording captures the era's spirit of questioning authority and addressing everyday struggles with a distinct, unpolished authenticity. The track has since become a staple in their discography, often cited alongside other notable releases such as 'She's Crazy' and 'Brother Brother' for its raw emotional delivery and melodic structure. It remains a significant example of the genre's evolution during the mid-to-late 1960s.
