Singer-Songwriterfest- (What`s So Funny About) Peace, Love, and Understanding)

[Gnasty]

Sorry I haven`t been around everyone. Just too busy, but will comment on the backlog of your music soon.


This would be my first live performance. It`s about time! I`ve practiced this song for a bit.  Recorded on the mbr Guitar=Mic together.

This one is for Geir and dedicated to the people of Norway.

I know it won`t be a quick recovery but the world is here for you. This is my fave Elvis Costello tune and this song just opens up to what i`ve been feeling lately. Why can`t people just be happy for what they have and what`s in front of them instead of having to hurt others in their process of not thinking clearly?? That`s all i have to say.

Hope you enjoy

       

          Peace, Love, and Understanding

                                                      
          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?

I`m working on an off site Mp3 Player for this. I`l upload it back on then.

Oops i just found out he didn`t write the song ...haha


It was written by Nick Lowe. Sorry..If it doesn`t qualify just change it!

[Oldrottenhead]

bloody brilliant eric, and yes it should qualify as the song is associated with him, i know harry nilsson never wrote his two biggest hits but you couldnt dissacciate him from the songs.

will say again bloody brilliant and very apt in these troubled times.

Superb performance, Gnasty! Love the live feel you got here, man. A timeless message, and you've made this one your own.

An uplifting, energetic performance. Great choice Eric and very well done.

Well kick me in the balls, I thought I commented on this yesterday. What a massive performance man! The energy on both the guitar and vocals is superb. That's how you let it rip brother!

Hell YEAH!

[Rata-tat-tat]

Wow Eric... what a vocal performance... and Live... You are the man.  Great tune... Love it.

[Geir]

I missed this having left for Berlin the day after that horrible day last year (which is now on the news 24/7 due to the trial that started last week).

But where is the song Eric I would love to hear it and get another one for my Gnasty folder!
