Hasn’t it been an age since we heard from My Morning Jacket? Yeah – three years (unless we’re really counting the Christmas Album ‘Happy Holidays!‘). And here we are with a timely song that celebrates that which we have in common and rejects unneccery divisiveness. What could have prompted Jim James to pick up this topic? Hang on, I think we might have the answer here. Mr James? Mr James? What made you turn to a theme of unity and togetherness and acceptance of individuality?
“Music is the invisible architecture holding up the entire universe. Music is the great reminder that life, despite its challenges, still brims with so much beauty. Music connects us back to the source — the heartbeat of existence, the force of love that binds us all, that boundless ocean of cosmic energy. In these times of great confusion and shifting energies, let us remember love, equality, and unity. Let us move past the divide-and-conquer mentality holding us back and come together to uplift one another and heal our planet. A rainbow is the greatest example we have of this in life, where all of the diverse colors come together to form something much greater than they ever could have done on their own. No matter what walk of life one may stroll- who doesn’t enjoy the majesty of a rainbow out in nature?! We are all part of that great ever-changing living rainbow called life.
Let us act with compassion and listen to the heartbeat of the universe, the voice of conscience within our souls, guiding us towards peace, reminding us that we are all one… all part of the same love.

Thanks Jim, that all seems very sensible and reasonable. Who wouldn’t want to embrace fairness, equality, peace and the majesty of the rainbow? And now the song:
