Peace

[JOSweetHeart]

God bless you always!!!

[OldLady]

Ring the bells (ring the bells) that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything (there is a crack in everything)
That's how the light gets in

That made me cry the first time I heard it.

 

[Weatherman2020]

Alright, gentlemen; good points all. May I please remind you, though, that this is a Peace Music thread in the Music forum?
The political hacks are getting triggered by the dirty word "Peace."

Hypocrisy is the trigger.

Dumbest lyrics ever.

 

[OldLady]

Sorry playtime. You're not a gentleman, are you?

 

[Lysistrata]

These mist covered mountains
Are a home now for me
But my home is the lowlands
And always will be
Someday you'll return to
Your valleys and your farms
And you'll no longer burn to be
Brothers in arms

Through these fields of destruction
Baptisms of fire
I've witnessed your suffering
As the battle raged higher
And though they did hurt me so bad
In the fear and alarm
You did not desert me
My brothers in arms

There's so many different worlds
So many different suns
And we have just one world
But we live in different ones

Now the sun's gone to hell and
The moon's riding high
Let me bid you farewell
Every man has to die
But it's written in the starlight
And every line in your palm
We are fools to make war
On our brothers in arms


This song always makes me tear up, as does Imagine.
How long does it take before human kind finally figures it out?

What is it good for? Absolutely nothing. Say it again....
Is that the one? I haven't got headphones right now, can't listen.

Another version.



10,000 Maniacs- Peace Train

 

[konradv]

10,000 Maniacs- Gun Shy

 

[konradv]

The Grateful Dead- Ripple

 

[westwall]

A great song but I prefer the 10,000 Maniacs version...

 

[playtime]

Sorry playtime. You're not a gentleman, are you?

lol.... nope but that's quite alright.

 

[Marion Morrison]

One of the best songs ever! Some people forget things like this, but I don't.

Nobody is better than anybody else, and we're all in this thing together.

True Story.

Warning:

Slow opening thread with a lock-up threat.

 

[OldLady]

A great song but I prefer the 10,000 Maniacs version...

I hadn't heard this before, but I agree--Cat Stevens' version needed the soles scruffed up a bit.

Yeah, Cat's version is a little too folksy for me. The Maniacs really rev the song up, and Natalie Merchants voice is the perfect instrument for the lyrics....

 

[Montrovant]

John Lennon sucks
Listen to this version

Or try this:

And because this should go into any music thread about peace.
