Discovering Inspirational Songs Imparting Peace And Harmony

By Catherine Cook


When a country or world is in crisis, there are few things which can bring calm. In some cases, listening to, playing or singing inspirational songs imparting peace can help. Whereas, in other times, it seems there will never been an end to the ongoing search for lasting peace and harmony throughout the world.

For, past and current music artists and lyrics have long played a role in promoting peace and love, unity and courage. In fact, many artists have fought long and hard for justice against violence and uprisings. Whether fighting for justice against established societal norms, or helping people to recognize the importance of freedom, many have done so through song writing and performance.

There have been a number of artists whose songs have no doubt had a major impact on the world, John Lennon and Leonard Cohen to name a few. While this is the case, it is still important that current and future artists continue to work in this area. For, whether a song can change the world, or only bring peace and harmony to a community during a crisis, there is still an ongoing purpose and need for this music.

Whatever the action, the cause, the movement, it is important that singers and songwriters continue to promote a resolution through lyrics and performance. In addition, there are also artists, poets and writers working in this area. While these individuals often present work at local art galleries, open mics and theaters, most are overlooked.

It is also important to become active in local groups and organizations working to promote harmony and stability at the local level. For, these groups are often vital in getting news related to current events to community members. As such, the best way for a community to stay informed is through the people it serves.

Most often, individuals lucky enough to have cable or satellite television can listen to a number of different artists and genres on numerous channels. Whereas, there are others whom live in rural areas or can not afford these services whom may only get a few radio stations. For those whom have internet, Internet Archive dot org, YouTube and Facebook Live can often provide a great deal of music which is often gratifying and uplifting.

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.

It is important to note that when searching for this genre of music and associated artists, some are better than others. For, songs of this nature can be found in almost every genre. As a result, since listeners often have difference of opinions and taste when it comes to music, not all will enjoy a song as well as others. While this is the case, if the individual can share songs of this nature, whether one enjoys the music or otherwise, doing so can often spread the message of peace and harmony to others and the world.
