Today's song was written by Nick Lowe and released by his band Brinsley Schwarz on their 1974 album The New Favourites of... Brinsley Schwarz. The most famous version was released a few years later by Elvis Costello & the Attractions.
Cheekface are a trio from Los Angeles comprising of Amanda Tannen (bass guitar and backing vocals), Greg Katz (vocals and guitar) & Mark Echo Edwards (drums and percussion).
They've just released a very decent version of the song and you can find it here : https://cheekface.bandcamp.com/track/whats-so-funny-bout-peace-love-and-understanding
It's called (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding...
As I walk through this wicked world
Searching 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 and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
As I walk 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 slipping away
It just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Searching 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 and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
As I walk 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 slipping away
It just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
Oh, what's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
