About The Song

Released in 1979 on their album “Oceans of Fantasy”, “Let It All Be Music” doesn’t have the immediate name recognition of some of Boney M’s other hits like “Daddy Cool” or “Rasputin.” But for those who were there dancing the night away, it holds a special place. It’s a song that transcends the disco genre, offering a timeless message about the unifying and uplifting power of music.

The song opens with a gentle piano melody, setting a calming mood before the rhythm section kicks in, introducing a steady, infectious beat. The unmistakable voices of Boney M’s female vocalists, Liz Mitchell and Marcia Barrett, take center stage, singing the opening lines: “You Music is a mirror, Mirror of my soul”

Here, the listener gets a glimpse into the core message of the song. Music isn’t just entertainment; it’s a reflection of who we are, our emotions, and our experiences. It becomes a mirror held up to our soul.

As the song progresses, the tempo builds, and the message becomes more explicit: “Music is the spirit, Come on, let it go” The call to action is clear – let go of your worries, your inhibitions, and surrender to the rhythm.

The lyrics explore the multifaceted nature of music. It’s a source of comfort even in times of hurt: “Music is my nature, Even if you hurt” It’s a guiding force, shaping our future: “Music is my future” And ultimately, it becomes a representation of the world around us: “Music is the world”

With a soaring chorus and a driving beat, “Let It All Be Music” isn’t just about listening; it’s about actively engaging with music, letting it course through you, and allowing it to move you both physically and emotionally. It’s a call to celebrate life, to find joy in the everyday, and to express yourself freely through the universal language of music.
