Discovering Inspirational Songs Imparting Peace And Harmony

By Catherine Cook


What the world needs now is love sweet love, are often considered lyrics to live by. While this is the case, the world also needs inspirational songs imparting peace and harmony. For, while What The World Needs Now is a beautiful song, love alone is not often nearly enough. As such, in order to overcome the ongoing troubles and wars of the world, peace and love are equally important.

As with past music artists, performance artists and poets, current and future ones will continue to tackle issues related to peace and harmony in the world. Currently, those doing so seem to be more focused on issues related to economic, racial and social justice. For, most believe if progress can be made in these areas, then a peaceful world is more likely to become a reality.

When it comes to songs which have the power to change the world, there are some which are better than others. In the 60s and 70s, there were a number of folk artists who provided this type of music during the anti-war movement. Whereas, today, lyrics are often more associated with economic, racial and social class.

Whatever the cause, it is important that these singers and songwriters continue to provide the public with this music. While music often gets more radio play, there are also a number of artists, poets and writers working to promote peace in this troubled world. Whether artists, performance artists or poets, it is important to support the work of these individuals. For, many of these artists are often overlooked when it comes to arts and entertainment.

It is also essential that individuals interested in changing the world for the better become involved in community action and organizations. Whether community or politically based, working with people on the local level can often lead to global change. As such, the best way for a community to have an impact on the larger world is through the participation and work of those involved in local events.

Whether listening to a radio station, video channel or sites such as YouTube, there is music which can be gratifying, uplifting and at times, awe inspiring. For those whom can afford cable or satellite, there are often a number of full concerts and channels offering a number of different genres of music. Whereas, others can find this type music online, or through local radio stations and other media outlets.

Groups which were great at spreading this type of music in the 60s and 70s still have music available today at local libraries, in-store and online. As the world is currently going through similar experiences to those of that time, listening to this music can often calm have a calming effect on body, mind and spirit. Some good examples of this kind of music would be that of The Beatles, Crosby, Stills And Nash and Peter, Paul and Mary, just to name a few.

When it comes to inspiring music which can promote peace and harmony, some is better than others. While this is the case, any music in which the intention is to create a more peaceful world is often worth checking out. After which, even if one does not necessarily enjoy the experience, it can often be good to share the work with others.
