Establishing the mood with textured drums, an astral guitar, saxophone and emotive synth, Dario Cohen opens Peace In Our Time with a dimensional and timeless nature before sharing the words, “I heard about those people who love each other good…”
We are immediately drawn in by the narrative that the artist is sharing, and the conscious depth that manifests as the song expands. The poetic prowess feels tangible and conscious. The vocal harmonies add a high emotional quotient to the piece, whilst the overarching sentiment of the song invites us to connect with notions of peace.
Peace In Our Time feels important, at a time when we, as a society, need it the most. The cinematic picture that Dario Cohen paints with his words evokes a mindset that we need to share on our planet. Essentially, the song is about wanting kindness, love and peace in a world that often feels sad and hurtful.
Dario Cohen shares portraits of the gentle, loving people who exist, but wonders why that kind of goodness doesn’t seem to show up more consistently. There are many “broken hearts,” and the blues keep coming back, yet simple images like children playing and people loving each other show us that warmth and connection are still possible.
At the centre of the song is a clear wish for peace. Even if others laugh or tell us that it’s unrealistic, Dario believes that peace matters more than anger or violence. He shares how he doesn’t quite understand why people rush towards harm or death when living feels strong and meaningful. The repeated mantra of “peace in our time” feels like a steady hope and a refusal to give up on the idea that things can surely improve. It is this unrivalled optimism that feels so refreshing. Speaking on the release, the talented artist simply says, “This new single Peace In Our Time, offers hope in uncertain times.”
Needless to say, we are in awe, and deeply connect with what Dario Cohen is manifesting along with his masterful instrumentation. We have added Peace In Our Time to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS playlist, whilst we continue to stream the wider discography of Dario Cohen, including If Your Have To Go, and Love Of The Hurt.
