"With our love, we could save the world"
About this Quote
The phrasing matters. “Could” is a pressure-release valve: it avoids preaching, keeps the claim open-ended, and smuggles in accountability. If we could save the world, why aren’t we? And “save” is deliberately big and slightly embarrassing, the kind of word pop music usually earns by committing to it without flinching. Harrison does that thing great songwriters do: he takes a grand concept and makes it feel like a daily practice, less utopia than discipline.
Context helps. Coming out of the Beatles era and into his spiritual seeking, Harrison was steeped in the idea that inner transformation has outer consequences. The subtext is anti-cynicism without being naive: love as a method, not a mood. It’s also a rebuke to technocratic salvation narratives. You can’t “fix” the world like a machine; you can only repair it by changing how you treat the person in front of you. The line works because it risks sincerity at a time when sincerity is the easiest thing to mock and the hardest thing to live.
