Peaceful Playlist Ideas
If there is one thing this world needs now, more than ever - it's peace! Peace between nations, neighbors and friends. Finding a balance that allows us to live comfortable, free and without judgement seems almost insurmountable at times. When the outside world gets to be too much - one of the healthiest things you can do for your mind and spirit is to allow yourself to get lost in music. That is exactly why we've put together this Top 10 to get your Peaceful Playlist started!
We have even included a few Snapper renditions of some of these hits so you can chill out and relax with members of your favorite virtual family!
Blowin' in the Wind by Bob Dylan
Recorded by Stella_56-1964
Stella delivers a stunning cover of Peter, Paul and Mary's version of this classic and poetic Dylan original. The song outlines the frustration people feel when constantly faced with turmoil and war and beautifully brings everyone together under the umbrella of hope. Hope for a better, peaceful world.
Imagine by John Lennon
Recorded by EricM2322 and Ggal100
"Imagine all the people, Livin' life in peace" Those lyrics speak for themselves. Lennon's hit will forever be a timeless classic that paints a picture that is so simple, yet so beautiful.
Holiday by Green Day
Green Day calls on the people to basically stop living life like they're on 'Holiday' and start standing up and demanding change. The lyrics motivate the listener to face the reality of the situation and empower themselves to bring about the change they so desperately desire.
Heal the World by Michael Jackson
Recorded by MamaLuplow
This is a beautiful song that speaks right to your heart. Much along the same lines as 'Holiday', Jackson's tune attempts to inspire people to create and make a better world that is worth living and thriving in!
Give Me Love by George Harrison
Recorded by Mike1668
A catchy tune by the great George Harrison calls on its listeners to "Give me love, give me peace on earth". Pair that with a bundle of hope and you've got the first essential ingredients to a peaceful song (and world!)
Peaceful, Easy Feeling by The Eagles
Recorded by JACIII
This may not feel like your typical Peace/Save the world type of song as some of the others but its core and foundation speaks volumes and highlights the essence of what peace is all about. Feeling relaxed, loved and surrounded by uninterrupted beauty. JAC's version of this Eagles hit gets you right in the feels.
XTC: Melt The Guns
XTC wrote several songs in the 80s about the on-going wars and their social commentary found them some success! From the title, you can guess the subject matter of this song and whether one agrees with it or not, one thing is for certain - this is a great song with a strong desire to live in a better world.
What's Going On by Marvin Gaye
Recorded by DRAGON65
"Father, father - We don't need to escalate - You see, war is not the answer - For only love can conquer hate" Really. What more needs to be said? Dragon did an incredible job delivering this powerful song!
Zombie by the Cranberries
Recorded by VioletSkys
This song lays it all on the lines and makes no apologies. VioletSkys does an amazing job and giving it the powerful delivery it deserves.
We Shall Be Free by Garth Brooks
Recorded by TheBrim
We had to throw in a tune for the country music fans! Brooks hit "We Shall Be Free" is an anthem that tells its listeners the strides we must take to ensure every human on earth feels the glorious thing called freedom!
