subversive

[jenk]

There's something about Peace Tonight that feels marvously subversive. I think it's that I first heard it at a 2005 concert and I didn't catch the verses so well - but the chorus came through loud and clear:

Let's make peace tonight
The moon is bare and shining bright
Let's make peace tonight in a good time

Of course the arrangement had something to do with that too; the chorus was done almost prayer-like.
