Elvis Costello “Peace, Love and Understanding”
As I walk through
This wicked world
Searching for light in the darkness of
insanity.
I ask myself
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred, and misery?
And each time I feel like this inside,
There's one thing I want to know:
What's so funny 'bout peace love &
understanding? ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love & understanding?
And as I walked on
Through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
'cause each time I feel it slipping away,
just makes me want to cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love &
understanding? ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love &
understanding?
So where are the strong?
And who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony?
Sweet harmony.
'cause each time I feel it slipping away,
just makes me want to cry.
What's so funny 'bout peace love &
understanding? ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love &
understanding? ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love &
understanding?
There is much music about peace. The topic may
sound difficult and heavy for others, but some of the artists make this kind of
music as and exciting song. Elvis Costello is one of these artists. He made a
song “Peace, Love and
Understanding.” You can guess that this
song is about peace and loving others. It was a surprise to see and hear this
music for the first time, because the music was so exciting and interesting. As
you can see in the video clip, the audience is so into this song. Speaking
peace in a cheerful way is a way to make the people understand. And also the
form “Music” can make people more understand about peace. Now,
if you look at the lyrics, there is a man. He looks around him, and sees that
the world is a mess. No more love, nor peace and understanding. So he is saying
that the world needs a change and needs the three important sources back. In
the song he says this world needs love, peace and understanding.
So
