“No more hurting people. Peace.” – Martin Richard, age 8.
Can’t think of anything else to add. I think young Martin’s got it covered.
Well, just a few things…
Here’s what s coming down the pike for the rest of April and May. A lot of new and reissued music out there from new and old artists. Hope you find something to enjoy and take your mind off of the crazy times we live in. Sometimes we’ve got to take a step back and count our blessings and a little music can help be a salve for the wounds perpetrated by the few.
Peace, Love and Understanding…

LYRICS of the MONTH:
“If blood will flow when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the colour of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain will wash the stains away
But something in our minds will always stay
Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star, like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are, how fragile we are
How fragile we are, how fragile we are.”
Sting, the song “Fragile” from the album ...Nothing Like the Sun released in 1987.
and
“As I walk through
This wicked world
Searchin' 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 wanna 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 slippin' away, just makes me wanna 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 slippin' away, just makes me wanna 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?”
Nick Lowe, the song “What’s So Funny ‘Bout (Peace, Love & Understanding)?” originally found on the album The New Favorites of Brinsley Schwarz by Nick Lowe’s band Brinsley Schwarz released in 1974. It can also be found on any Nick Lowe compilation. It was most famously covered by Elvis Costello and has also been covered by the likes of Midnight Oil, Steve Earle, The Wallflowers, Lucy Kaplansky and Chris Cornell among many others.
Peace, Love and Understanding!!!
See you in June…
Chris
