Wherever you are in your spiritual journey, Rev Peter Unger’s “Song for Peace” is a universal message of peace and hope that everyone can embrace. The music commences with a 12-string fingerpicking coupled with a nice melodic phrasing on the electric guitar as well as melodic bass. You get a nice tranquil feeling that creates a nice space for the vocals to fit in. The electric guitar continues as gentle motifs fill in the peaceful music landscape.
Peter keeps on singing the meaningful lyrics with a genuine tenderness that touches the core of the heart of the listener as very evident in the lyrics, “in grief and anger the mother cried. For your war my son has died.”
Through the lyrics, Rev Peter Unger tries to convey the message of humanity’s perpetual history with war and hatred — “There’s always been war. And war will always be.” The song has a beautiful chorus that runs like a dove carrying the message “I heard a whisper in the wind…there’s a way for all this to end” and “shalom, salam, pace, nabadda, shanti.”
