Nick Lowe - (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding (Live on 89.3 The Current) 

God do we need this sentiment so badly in 2024!!!

One of the UK's greatest songwriters on one of the USA's best radio stations. Perfect!

Beautiful. One of the greatest songs ever. Dislikes are you kidding?

great song beautifully sung as ever by the maestro.........who doesn't like this ?

Oh crap I’ve already like this once can I like it like you know 100 times more?

Perfect song for the times we're in now.

Lovely version. Played this recently and played it with a band in the 80s. Love this song and this version is great !

one of my fav songs - the dude is a living legend.

Anyone listening 8/12/24. Beautiful.

I just saw Nick and Los Straitjackets at the Tarrytown Theater this past 6/25/24, Tarrytown NY, Incredible Concert!

Elvis may have made this song well known, but it's Nick's song. His versions are great!!

I have played this version 20 times this week. Nick Lowe & Los Straight Jackets... trying to learn it on my ukelele. It's perfect.

Great song! This is probably my favorite version.

I love the song , and I love nick Lowe doing it, the orohinal.

Beautiful, if only we could all live this

"(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love and Understanding", I think we could all take a big dose of Peace, Love and Understanding nowadays. Nick's slowed down version with Los Straitjackets makes this song more insightful and probably more relevant for today. Elvis's version is more "Protest Song Style". I love both but they almost take on a different meaning. I remember my last talk with my dad before he died. He was a 3 tour Vietnam Vet and I was about to retire after 26 years in the military. I had a pretty hard heart and held some grudges that were in retrospect useless and hurt me more than anyone else. He told me to start forgiving people regardless of who was right or wrong in my mind and move on with my life. When I play this I often think how much better my life has become because ultimately I'm the only one I can change, but I can walk out the door each day and try to be better. You have to try. Forgiveness is a powerful thing. My life is so much better now. Sure I still have bad days, but as the great Ray Wylie Hubbard said "The days I keep my gratitude above my expectations, I have pretty good days"

In my toughest times I sing this song. It’s always helped.

Boy do we need this now! Summer 2022. Crazy times. 😢

omg we are old but still cool

One of our greatest living songwriters! He is an international treasure!

Aw…brings a tear to one's eye. Ian "Mac" McLagan was to open for Nick on his "Quality Street" tour, Dec. 2014. He died of a stroke, and Nick said such wonderful things about him on the tour. Good on ya, Nick. 'Love this version by the way.

Old song still relevent. I love nicks versions the best. Soulful. Reaches my heart. Ty Nick!

Saw Nick & the Boys last night. What a superior show. They had fun on stage and we had fun in the audience. It is a privilege to see your show Nick!

Sending out peace love and understanding to the world! We will get through these troubled times. Thank you for posting this song ❤️

I watch a LOT of RU-vid. I have searched before for Nick's original of this song, but to no avail. Of course I know the Elvis version, I play it in solitude in my bedroom often wondering how the world got so fucked-up. Thanks fore this.

Beautiful.

Thank You!

This is/was one of my all-time favorites! 👀👩‍🦳

The original is one of my most favourite songs, but I love what the other musicians bring to this version. It very much suits Nick in His later years. Just lovely.

What an amazing song

That Fender and Nick is all I need. Heaven🙏🏻🕉

An amazing song by one of the greats….rock on Nick.

Just so true. Thank you nick.

Never gets old

What a song! Had almost forgotten about this and so delighted to have rediscovered it, thanks both Nick and Elvis, Stu X

I was today years old when I found out Nick wrote this.... I'm 52🤭

Makes even more sense today

Saw Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets two nights ago. This song, and the entire show, were terrific. Don't miss the tour if they come to your town.

Wow unbelievably great !!!!!!! So nice

Oh my. That was wonderful. Thank you!

Beautiful!

An absolutely gorgeous interpretation

I saw the Nick Lowe / Los Straitjackets show in Madison Wi last night and it was awesome! Great mix of music and fun! The opening band the Cactus Blosoms was great too!

Thank you, Nick.

תותחית! כל הכבוד!

Beautiful tribute from one genius to another, RIP IM

Nick still RULES.

Love Nick’s thumb-strum. He’s a great understated rhythm player.😎😁

He really is great. ❤❤

We had Nick at our theatre in Phoenixville, Pa. He was a really nice guy and did a terrific show.

このテイクほんとに好き 何回も見てる

Hey, Nick wrote it! That's about as sincere as you can get. World on the edge of a great war...this one may really be the "war to end all wars!"

Nick Lowe rocks. So does Ian. Love you guys.

i love this song so much.

What a great way to start off a New Year! Thanks for the great tune Nick! And a great job backing him up L.S.!

Great song. Thanks Nick.

An amazing song!!!❤

Needed this today.

The beauty of music...Thanks Nick.

Excellent!!

Beauty of a rendition. (who would downvote this?)

Love this guy. Great artist.

did not know that Nick wrote this, Brilliant

A song for the ages.

Saw him live with Rockpile. Great artist.

Beautiful! It's simply beautiful!

what a gem!

I couldnt help but to share this to my social media...the words are lovely as well as thought provoking considering the current political state of the world.

Los Straitjackets both rock and roll. Superb!

oh time, time is a hard taskmaster. this makes me cry too.

A song for our times. All times. Beats the shit out of Imagine.

nice song thanks nike lowe😍😍

Great Nick Lowe. I love this song

Amazing song, master Nick. Brinsley S., Rockpile, Ry Cooder, Little Village, Costello....how many adventures!!!

Merry Christmas to all!

This has been my theme song since 1974 at age 10...

Those are the same glasses Buddy Holly wore, and the same model of Gibson acoustic guitar Buddy played on many of his hits. A wonderful way to pay tribute to one of his heroes.

That's a great great song.

beautiful vocal

Genius ..again

I love this super creatve and cool man. Such a gem!

Thanke Nick!

Nick is a genius!

A Million Little Things, brought me here. I love this version.

que grande Nick Lowe !!!!!!!!! amo esta canción ,no me canso de escucharla.

The song is so void of false pretense the masked musicians detract not one iota from the message. How is that for understanding? Love this.

What a great anthem for a new 18-24 party. Absolutely beautiful melody. So simple and sincere and, sadly, forever relevant. .

great song.

Yeah !!! Mr Nick Lowe.... thanks so long

One of the best songs ever❤ Watch out our (Stunde x)version !

Los Staitjackets and Nick Lowe. A dichotomy that created something new. Rockula is cruel to be kind

just awesome. thanks Nick!

This, the Elvis Costello version and the Sharon van Etten/Joshua version are all worth listening to. Folksy, rock and whimsy....

Light and airy rhythm section, with Nick's sweet voice on top. Soooo tasty!

i love this song omg

A brilliant song also written with the fabulous Ian Gomm

Love this

marvelous ..

Like a Prayer…
