"The Dove On The Olive Branch" by Per-Olov Kindgren

Tabs and Sheet music are available here: shop.per-olovk...
I am so sad and frustrated when I see what is happening to children and women living in the Gaza strip! There is nothing that can justify what is happening there! Nothing!! Not even the horrible terrorist attack by Hamas! I’m not on anyone’s side, Israelis or Palestinians… only on the side of innocent people suffering from war!
The Dove and the Olive branch are symbols of Peace
Let there be Peace between all people on the only planet we have!
Guitar: Per Hallgren, Sweden 2016

Our world suffers from the lack of empathy. Our world needs more empathic people and more empathic artists, like maestro Per-Olov. If we teach children empathy, compassion, nonviolence, to take care of one another, to respect nature, to not hurt animals. Only then humans have a chance to survive. The horror that has been done to nature on our planet is beyond imaginable. The degeneracy of modern culture is also beyond imaginable. But even more horrific is the violence and hate toward one another which is "the norm" in our world. The most impactful thing each of us can do in this world is to be empathic, loving, caring and respectful in our actions, words, thoughts and intentions. And especially as artists we can express empathy, love and kindness through art (which is exactly what maestro Per-Olov does). Thank You, Sir. From your fan in Ukraine.

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Thank you Oleg! I am moved and honored by your words. I wish you and your country was free again and we all could live in peace! Slava Ukraini!

[@OlegBagriy-jl1jj]

Героям Слава! Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

[@MrGUSARIK]

Great musician and wonderful human being. Thank you for the beautiful music and your commitment to humanitarian values.

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Wow, thank you!

[@little_lamplighter]

Thank you, dear Per-Olov! 🙏 These difficult times have shown who is who. Many people of art in my country simply ceased to exist for me when they took the side of the war, and began to serve bloodshed with their talents. As a rule, not even because of any beliefs, but for fear of losing your audience and money. No matter how scary it may sound, there is a silver lining, and this war, in a sense, played some good role: it tore off the masks from the hypocrites, and separated the wheat from the chaff. Now the talent of a person who supports the hands of villains has no value for me, and I will not even watch films with those actors who supported the war, or listen to songs of singers and musicians posing as “patriots”. Thank God that there are true servants of art left on earth who did not sell their souls to the devil for 30 pieces of silver.

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Thank you! I cannot agree more with you. Period.

[@OlegBagriy-jl1jj]

Спасибо Вам большое за ваши слова. Мне от них очень радостно на серце. Я из Украины. Я искренне люблю настоящих добрых русских людей. Я верю в них. Война, насилие и убийство - это самое страшное, что существует. Это преступление против Бога, против всего святого, против совести и души. Пусть у Вас все будет хорошо. Желаю мира, добра и сострадания всей нашей планете.

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

well said!

@@OlegBagriy-jl1jj Большое Вам спасибо, дорогой Олег! Очень люблю Украину и украинцев, и всей душой презираю ту мерзкую агрессивную пропаганду, которая ведётся сейчас по всем каналам российского ТВ. Очень много моих соотечественников зомбированы пропагандой, так же как немцы в своё время были зомбированы пропагандой Геббельса, и превратились в одураченную нацию, ведомую на убийства и на собственный убой. Не могу даже смотреть на эти омерзительные лица Соловьёва, Скабеевой, Симоньян и им подобных. Даже их лица, как губка, пропитаны ложью и грехом. Эта война затеяна ради удержания финансовых кормушек олигархов и миллиардеров, а народу это всё втирают как защиту национальных интересов. И льётся кровь рекой, и разрушаются целые города, и ненавидят друг друга некогда близкие и родные люди. А кто-то делает на всём этом немыслимые деньги, и совесть их ничуть не осуждает за это. Потому, что у них нет совести. Это законченные психопаты, социопаты, у которых отсутствует совесть, эмпатия и сострадание, у которых в голове только личные корыстные интересы. Но придёт их час расплаты, и конец их будет по делам их.

[@OlegBagriy-jl1jj]

Спасибо огромное за добрые слова. Искренне верю в то, что этому режиму и кровавому террору придет конец. Они пожнут то, что посеяли. От расплаты за содеянное никто не убежит. Очень уважаю тех россиян, которые остаются на стороне правды и добра. Также российских музыкантов и людей искусства, которые высказывают свое слово против этого безумного кровопролития. Пусть всех Вас и нас Бог хранит.

[@cameliagliguta9156]

It sounds "pretentious" to say... but I know for sure that your music will heal the world because it has miraculous powers. ❤with all my heart, Peo❤️

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Dear Camelia. I wish you were right… I know that all music heals and makes people less eager to fight. With all my heart, thank you. Per-Olov

[@michelloiseau]

Dear Per-Olov, History has always unfortunately shown that it is sometimes necessary to wage war to have or more simply maintain peace. How many wars could however be avoided even if it seems that it is in the DNA of certain leaders. As you express very well, whatever the cause and the outcome, there are many innocent people affected by this war... which is not really one. The Dove and the Olive Branch are undoubtedly far from the daily concerns of these people who have everything and nothing in opposition, but it is always good to deliver such a beautiful message of peace as yours. Your composition is from the beginning so significant of the pain perceived but I very quickly feel a form of possible appeasement, like a call to return to calm, to reason, to peace. There are conductors who, with a simple baton, plunge everyone into harmony, we also speak of the heart. With just your guitar and your immense talent, you are a conductor who mobilizes and mobilizes us each time to send messages of peace. This should be broadcast in the soldiers' helmets Thank you my friend for your music Love Michel

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Dearest Michel. again your comment is literature and like a wise old man. Thank you so, so much. Love and Peace my friend. Per-Olov

[@michelloiseau]

@@Per-Olovkindgren Can a man be a wise and does one have to be old to be one? Many think so, but then perhaps that is the reason for so many wars. Dear friend, I will learn and I will play this sweet composition under one of my old olive trees, much older than me :)

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Good to know, young man. ;-)

[@relaxing-guitar]

Per-Olov, I think many of us are distraught by the suffering of the innocent in Gaza in they way that you describe. Your composition helps to bring us together because we can share in the sentiment of the music which is a unifying gift. You music brings us some peace and healing in our hearts. Thank You! Bill

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Thank you so much Bill. I hope it will soon end in peace! Per-Olov

[@evabodenstein3575]

Dear Per-Olov🕊❤, yes, that' s exactly that: there is not the slightest reason for this escalation. There are always the weakest ones who suffer from war, especially women and children. Mother Earth is weaping, but with your peaceful and healing music you are calming souls and hearts and contribute a lot to peace on earth. It gives hope and optimism, the melody together with your sensibel playing and the symbols of the pigeons on the olive branch. Thanks a lot for this! ❤🕊❤🕊 ❤🕊❤️🕊, love and peace to you, Eva

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Thank you for those words dear Eva. We have to select other leaders. Clearly those that has the powers now, isn't up to the job. I vote for more women! :-) Thank you!! ❤ Per-Olov

[@gardalino]

Dear Per-Olov! I believe that you are truly an Ambassador of Peace. I would like to believe that one day there will truly be peace in the world and the evil forces will be eliminated. But I always find out that this is just a dream. But I ask You to keep dreaming and help us to keep dreaming. As long as such beautiful pieces are being created, I don't want to wake up from this dream. Thank you so much and God bless all innocent, suffering people! Love and Peace, Gardalino

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

Dear Gardalino. Thank you so very much! Let's keep dreaming! And fighting for peace! It is also a fact that the more we make war, the less we take care of the planet and climate changes will go faster... it's all very worrying. So let's keep making music! While listening, people can't kill! (But I doubt Put-n, Tru-p, Xi, and Netanya-u listens to music... ) Love and Peace! Per-Olov

Hi my friend! Do I hear a quiet plea for peace and tranquility in the world? Think that whats mankind needs. I can nearly "take on the feeling" you creates. The melody and the way you play is exquisit! Congrats! Vilken fin komposition! Gitarren blir en förlängning av din kropp, ditt sinne! Du förmedlar en känsla, ett lugn, förgyller med dynamik och tänkvärda vibraton.... Så himla fint! Stort tack! //Tobias

Sweet Blondie. Thank you so much for your comment. I don't understand it either but I guess it's in human nature to fight and make war. See how we have had wars since the sone age!

@@Per-Olovkindgren I pray you see this Peo.. Hubby and I have left California and relocated to Tennessee with a view is of the Smoky Mountains. It's absolutely gorgeous. We arrived in Tennessee end of January and moved into our exquisite home a few days ago.. ( March 12, 04 ) Unfortunately, California has become so - well - 'congested' - is a polite description. Tennessee is the country music center of the USA / Nashville. Although, I am not a country music fan, the Grand Ole Opry is an exquisite stage. I have performed on that stage. ( a million years ago) Much love to you. 💖

[@Per-Olovkindgren]

WOW! You moved away from beautiful CA?! No wonder you weren't there when I knocked on your door!! :-) Well, I can see why with all that traffic and too many humans. And! the luring danger of a major earthquake. I am happy to know you are safer now! :-) The sound of the words "Nashville - Tennessee" brings many musical associations to me. :-) Thank for telling me Blondie!
