I was lucky too have seen them live at a dance camp, at burning man 2003, these guys put on an
incredible show.. Ethno tekno tribal..

So Bill, I just noticed that you hadn't played this in 2.5 years.  Looking for a good laugh, perchance?

...i try to be a generous listener, but to be completely fair, this is just too sophomoric for prime time:  the artist needs some time to mature...

The whole album is an incredible stress-reducing experience.  Please play this song all you can.

I wouldn't go out and buy this either, but nobody is obliging me to do so.  This is okay as a background groove while I'm working, though.

Though it isn't really my thing, your response makes me feel the need to defend it. It's "a call for peace." I hope the irony of your response was intentional .. if not, then I just feel sorry for the people that have to spend time around you.

I'd rather Lenon's "Imagine" was in this song's spot on this day.

Honourable sentiments, didactic and clichèd expression. 3 from the Nottingham jury.

Vaguely ironic, since the Middle East decided to tear itself apart after this song was recorded.


Wouldn't it be beautiful if Jews and Arabs could say this to each other?

It's too bad the parts I can understand are so terribly insipid, because everthing else is quite pleasant.

Elementary school poetry set to interesting music.... This band does that a lot.

This song is OK if your not listening to it.

You see we just had a couple of beers at work and as I tried to work effectively I was really enjoying it. Then I made the mistake of listening to the song closely... The word bollocks comes to mind.

I really don't like the "spoken word" thing and whispering that are often present in such songs. Don't find it paricularly touching. Reminds me of really cheesy French songs that talentless, unable to sing, pseudo-singers often make. You can usually hear such songs on "soft-rock" radio stations back home...I have nothing against world peace though...;)
