1973 album for Columbia that reached #25 in the Billboard album charts that year. Nine tracks, including 'Love, Devotion & Surrender', 'When I Look Into Your Eyes' and a cover of John Coltrane's 'Welcome'.



On the group's fifth album, "The New Santana Band," as it was called, was an octet. Musically, the album was something of a companion piece to Carlos Santana's duet album with John McLaughlin, Love Devotion Surrender, even including a song by that title and, like the earlier record, containing compositions by McLaughlin and John Coltrane. In addition to the jazz influences, there was also a new blues sound courtesy of Leon Thomas, a smooth-voiced singer in the Joe Williams tradition. The record was musically adventurous, but as Santana continued to diverge from its Latin rock roots, its popularity eroded.

Going Home

(Instrumental)


Love Devotion and Surrender

Listen,
if you're tired of walkin' around and getting nowhere,
I know, there's a path that's leading towards the Master.

Chorus:
Love, devotion and surrender
love, devotion and surrender
love, devotion and surrender
love, devotion and surrender.

Oh, brother, listen to the rhythm of your heartbeat,
It's keeping time with all the universal children (Chorus)

Sister, sing the song created for your brother
louder, till the (your) heart embraces all the harmony (Chorus)


Samba De Sausalito

(Instrumental)


When I Look Into Your Eyes

Ooooh, ah ah
When I look into your eyes,
I see the ocean in the shore
and I know just what I'm living for
when I look into your eyes. Yeah,

When I look into your eyes,
all the love there is arrives
And everything around me dies,
when I look into your eyes

When I look into your eyes,
the sun melts deep into the sky,
And plants a seed inside my soul,
and takes me up into the sky. Yeah, yeah


Yours is the Light

Yours is the light that will always shine
and shine eternally, eternally
Mine is the search, never-ending search
until I am with you.
For you fill my life,
all my days and nights
with (light) memories of you.


Mother Africa

(Instrumental)


Light of Life

All the people I knew
seem to have become one, and that one is you
In your hands I find myself
growing to be near my eternal goal
You are the sun, air and soil, helping grow

Life has found a way, at last
showing me the true light, and that light is you
In your hands I find myself glowing and embracing my eternal goal
You are the sun, moon and stars, helping glow


Flame-Sky

(Instrumental)


Welcome

(Instrumental)
