about

In the spirit of peace for all, today I’m releasing a song I wrote called
‘Place of Peace’. Wayne Horvitz and I recorded this at The Royal Room in Seattle, WA on January 7, 2021. My heart was heavy from watching broadcasts of the event at the U.S. Capitol. So I felt moved to share this song in particular.
In my view, art is essential. It has the power to hold and uplift us through challenging times.

‘Place of Peace’ I’m releasing as 'pay as you will' so it’s available to all. If free works best for you now, that’s great. Please enjoy and feel free to spread the word. Thank you. If you feel moved to pay for the music, please pay as you will and feel free to spread the word. Thank you.

Many thanks @waynehorvitz @royalroomseattle
And thank you for tuning in.
(((Love)))
JR

lyrics

Mama Mama
They gone dropped the bomb on you again
The news man's sayin'
And I think of hurt I've done
And those I've not yet forgiven
How is it any different?

Still here we are
Be wrong or right
Our faults despite
And for what good reason?

There must be
A Place of Peace in us
Our hearts must keep
Peace on Earth

Papa Papa
Where does the mind find rest?
When your night sky cries blood red
When will we end this 'us and them'
When Love knows only we
And no other false pretenses

Still here we are
Be wrong or right
Our faults despite
And for what good reason?

There must be
A Place of Peace in us
Our hearts must keep
Peace on Earth
