The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood is a song by the band Jefferson Starship, which explores the themes of unity, love and human interference with nature. The lyrics describe the beauty and harmony of nature, with tides, colors and winds blending together as one. The song also portrays the idea of brotherhood among all living beings, with the oak and weed, mare and stallion rising together, regardless of differences. However, the song also highlights the destructive impact of human intervention, where man has come to plough the tide and cut down the oak trees. This interference has led to the loss of harmony and love in nature. Overall, The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood is a poignant reminder of the importance of love, unity and brotherhood in our lives, and the need to preserve and respect the fragile balance of nature.
