With over 200 unreleased songs under his belt, songwriter Greg Jones explains his inspiration for this special recording. 'I would turn on the news each day and see how so many world leaders resort to war as a means of settling conflict, as if human life is expendable. It would make me sick. They always say that if you want to see a change you have to do something, whatever you can, even when you're just one person. I've always been inspired by the powerful messages of greats like John Lennon, Bono and Bob Dylan so I did what I could do. I wrote a song.

Jones selected one of the hottest new studios in Cleveland, Ohio, Ante Up Audio to record this special project. The anthem was co-produced and engineered by old friend Bruce Seifert, who has recorded with Jones in the past, and music tracks performed by Michael Seifert (his son) who further enhanced Jones' music. Both Bruce and Michael are highly acclaimed Award Winners in the music industry. 'We go back over 20 years. Michael used to run around Bruce's studio touching all the knobs on the board when he was like five years old. It was just great working with them again, states Jones.

Promoting a song of Peace isn't normally very easy. You have a few folks out here believe it or not who are actually anti-peace. That's why it is up to those of us who are pro-peace, to do everything we can to promote the musical message of Peace. I'm so very thankful for the response worldwide that the anthem is receiving. It's great how so many people just love the song … and the snowball effect has been incredible!'
