[@rivaldybrian5257]

As I walk through this wicked world Searchin' 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-oh What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? And 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 slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? Oh-oh What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? So where are the strong, and who are the trusted? And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?

I had this album in 1979 when I was a senior in high school. He carried me through the bullshit in my life.

[@samenoname4927]

...Yes, truly transcendent!!!

[@tomodonovan5931]

The fact that you are typing this today says that you have pulled through all of that BS. To me, that is a great achievement on your part. Costello only did a small part in helping you deal with reality. In 1979, you found out that you were grown up. No more peanut butter and jelly sandwiches in your school lunch box. Life was starting to get a little more complicated. We both graduated the same year. So we and others the same age were dealing with the same issues that life throws in your direction. And that was an uncertain future! Nobody without a crystal ball has any idea what it holds. And that is something a young person has to worry about. But first you have to prove to the adults around you that you can handle it. Parents, Teachers, and Bosses, or Managers. It would have been much easier to just put this album on a turntable and let it spin forever, but something tells me you were not cut out to sit and watch a spinning turntable forever. You had to take off the headphones and make a decent living somehow. Now it's time to really enjoy Costello. You've dealt with the BS , and now have the time to watch that turntable spin for a little while.

[@evenbet9603]

He has a way with words. I can only imagine you find his lyrics about women mostly hilarious though sometimes sad if not tragic. I discovered Mr. Costello the same year I graduated highschool, 1979.

[@giovannaparente917]

Love the 70's and 80's and even 90's but forget the millenium.. It all went down hill from there. THis song is so relevant in these times ....

[@tomodonovan5931]

@@giovannaparente917 We all know those years are gone forever. But music? No. There may not be the wave of great music from those decades, but sometimes if you listen closely, you may hear the ripple of a good song here, and there. Listen to what the kids are listening to. Sometimes you find yourself asking who is that? They do the same thing when they hear a song that you listened to years before they came into this world. I had a few co-workers who were into Rap music. They formed a band and invited me to their first concert. I knew it was their passion in life, and once I got over the shock of being frisked before I got into the venue, I actually enjoyed the experience. They opened for The Notorious B.I.G. I got to go to the greenroom after two or three security checks, and it was all Los Angeles back there. Diamond rings and Diamond things all over the place. Rich, and stylish cultured males, and very beautiful females. Friendly, yet very curious about me being there. The point is, I am always fascinated by culture. If it is music, art, tradition, I always remember to be respectful when discovering it. Maybe my co-workers did not succeed in their musical dreams, but they succeeded in opening my eyes to a new and positive experience. You don't have to travel to another country to see, or hear new things. They can be closer then you think.

Is he just incredibly happy as, each day, he sees another, and another and, yet, another victory for fascism, racism, cruelty and oppression, ignorance, divisiveness, and, on top of those, destruction... of nature, beauty, art, kindness, humanity, knowledge, learning, tolerance, friendship, caring, Democracy, reality, scholarship, and, basically, all around decency, or does he see it without actually "seeing it"? Is he, simply, a moron or, rather, is he just a douch bag...a total jerk?

Fortunately, however - and, for some reason, I think you may agree with me on this one - he just, well, aside from each of us taking a moment to stop to comment on his inanity and what is, clearly, his obvious lack of education and utter absence of even a fraction of intellect, isn't worthy of another second's worth of time..🤷‍♀️ Have a beautiful day, a wonderful wkend and - and I do hope this for ALL of us - a safe, friendly and healthy one, too!! OH!!! BY THE WAY, I FORGOT TO SAY THIS EARLIER, BUT, IN MY OH-SO- HUMBLE OPINION, Nothing... ABSOLUTELY F - ING NOTHING IS FUNNY, AT ALL; NOTHING IS, IN ANY WAY, FUNNY ABOUT PEACE, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING, OH, NOTHING IS FUNNY ABOUT PEACE, LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING.

"So where are the strong? And who are the trusted? And where is the harmony". So f'ing good.

Saw this live with my 63 yo Dad and my 8 yo daughter. A timeless classic, relevant to 3 generations! Thank you EC!

I think about this song often.

Needed as much as ever. Once again our leaders start a War. They stay safe in their offices giving orders while innocent people die. Talk to each other Violence just breeds Violence.

One of THE TOP songs by Elvis Costello and the Attractions. Their 'back-in-the-day' look in this video takes me back to the GOOD days of rock n roll. Driving melody with a touch of the punk feel. SO cool!

Obviously filmed in and around Vancouver Canada!!! SUCH A POWERFUL ANTHEM!!!! I get choked up every time I try to sing along, I'm so frustrated with the world....this song says iy all for me.

I just stumbled upon this video and had totally forgotten that it was made in Vancouver back when it was just a bump on the map.

Such a positive message delivered so aggressively. It's awesome

Stanley Park. I was there on vacation with my family when I was 14, while this was being recorded.
