about

A lot happened in 1963... so much so we felt there should be a song about it.

lyrics

I've never seen a hero
On the streets of the city in the night

And there goes the old man, he's as lonely as he seems
And his daughter, Diane, she's as lovely as can be
And his wife passed away back in 1963
Ohh ohh ohh

I'm on the road going nowhere
Sailing my ship across the seven seas

And everybody's singing Please, Please Me in their head
And MLK is fighting for all the rights of his kin
And JFK passed away back in 1963
Ohh ohh ohh

Words can only divert a disaster
You and I must flee the scene at once

And there goes the old man, he's as lonely as he seems
And his daughter, Diane, she's as lovely as can be
And his wife passed away back in 1963
Ohh ohh ohh

about

The World At Large Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The hooky, harmony-threaded songs of The World At Large are both pleasantly retro and quite refreshing. The group blends Beatle-esque melodies with arrangements that heavily feature their intertwining vocals.
