when you meet other addicts who share your story, when you thought you were on the right track, reality sets in. I have turned my life around....but somehow those struggling just keep coming BACK to share their own stories with me. For all the success in my life, those demons are still out there. Grew up in a good home, good family, became obsessed with the corruption drugs and people who use them had on me. Now, I am still very successful. But my journey continues to just understand. I am almost 34. Soon, my adventure may get me killed. But I have faith.
the entire emotive cd is an amazing gift to us as people it speaks to some people in more than one way not jsut music or the beat but the lyrics and the meaning for those who dislike i spit in your faces
Gluttonie890 I always felt the whole album had such a feeling/sound of hopelessness to it. So many songs that are lyrically uplifting, but played to melodies that make the message unattainable.....kind of like blind melon. Just what I took away from the album.
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? Ohhhh What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? And as I walked 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? Ohhhh 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 'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Ohhhh What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Ohhhh what's so fun about peace, love and understanding
This album has a happy and sad side to it because I associate it to my ex fiance whom I loved very much, we were both fans and the last time I saw her I made her a copy... it now takes on a much more surreal feel
I read a book of short stories in the zombie apocalypse genre while listening to this album and listening to this always sends me there. It's so awesome.
I love this album of APC. Maynard has really put his feelings into this cd, and I feel especially connected to it because the main point of the album is peace over annihilation. I love it 3
It's so different from the original, but I really love the way A Perfect Circle does their covers. It's cool how them just changing the musical background and tempo really change the message of the song, but yet the lyrics don't really change.
When I was a gunner in Iraq, I used to play this with headphones on when shooting my 50 Cal. Couldn't of done it without the inspiration of this ban, as every song spoke to me, made every fight meaningful.
Omg dude are you fucking serious! If Maynard saw your comment I'm 99% sure he would, let's just say this, if you can be over seas, murdering people in their own god damn cunt-tree while listening to their, I dont know what to call it, a cross between music/art/honesty/truth(in it's TRUE sense) if you can hold a gun and shoot at another person, fuck your reasons dude, then you missed the point, knowing that people like you exist makes me sick to my stomach and so angry that stupid shit I wont mention begins making a lot more sense
Thank you for your service, you'll have to excuse my tongue. You a grown man, ignorance cannot be claimed, did you ever watch in the news when Nazi soldiers were held accountable at like fucking 90 yrs old and shit, I bet they said the same shit people like you do, but no matter, you live by the sword you die by the sword. Soul dier Sol dier soldier, let me guess, you drink folgers?
Shooting at people while listening to this music is the most contraditory shit i've read in a long time. I respect the fact that you've must have been through some rough days, but fuck that. That's why i deserted from the army, they never cathed me till today, nothing bad ever happened to me from deserting. I would play this song while running away from my post, now that would make sense, Sir.
It so sad to see some poeple argue so badly about a peace and love song... Before to "Love" or "Hate" the song, try to listen, to hear AND understand the meaning of it
It is what a cover should be: a re-interpretation of a song the artists love. They totally changed it up and made it their own and that is what the majority of this album was about, really. I'm rambling but the point is this is a cover that doesn't deserve much flak.
people who complain about this, saying it is "poorly re-done" don't look deep enough into it, maynard is trying to show the darker sides of these masterpieces, and put his own feeling into them, i personally think they are amazing
seriously you guys!!??! A perfect Circle is one AMAZING BAND. yeah i said it THEY ARE AMAZING. i have heard that original and i think THIS version definitely TOPS the original. the music is magnificent and artistic. And his voice actually shows the feeling of the song itself. I love it.
Ive been listening to a perfect circle for pretty much all of my thirteen years of life and I just dont know how they do it. I love mayard and especially in tool, don't get me wrong I love this song but might have loved it more if mayard sung it
UGHH...... THIS IS NOT MAYNARD'S VISION. APC, for the most part, is BILLY's project in which he writes the majority of the lyrics/music. I'm sure Maynard has some influence during the writing process but he doesn't deserve all the credit just because he's Maynard.
all these years, i still get that tunnel vision but like for my whole body like going through a wormhole in hyperspace at hyperspeed because i finally found the white hole inside the black hole that lets me back out into the beautiful expanding universe free of constraints and pressures
What's "funny" : People who think "feelings" are a weakness are the weakest ones of all because there is nothing stronger than Heart. Also, on the other hand, a lot of cheesy self help books are rediculous, and deserve the ridicule. Actual peace, love, and understanding isn't funny at all, but beautiful. Nothing cheesy about life.
@ironmanLLXL agreed. its molded so much to the style and soul of apc that it strays from even being a cover and therefore from being subject to judgments based on the original.
i don't understand how some people can focus their entire life force to hate/ a little okay/I feel sorry for the ones that do they will forever be damned in finding and understanding love /this is a message from the devil of new castle
@ironmanLLXL Honestly, I don't like this cover, but I APPRECIATE that APC performed this as if they had written it, and ultimatly, that's what makes a stand-out cover. Who wants to listen to another band do a cover EXACTLY the way the original was done? You might as well just listen to the original then, sheesh.
WHAT'S SO FUNNY BOUT (PEACE LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING) As I walk on through this wicked world Searching for light in the darkness of insanity I ask myself, Is all hope lost?

A perfect example is their live act of pushit c.f the studio recorded version. They simply change the tempo and some other things and it was turned into this completely different song yet it was the same.
really? People complain about this song? Why? Is it too beautiful for their ears or somthing? Dose it have too much actuall value than what beiber shrieks? my my some people i dont see why this song is being complained about
I think °^#thAt°^ is the perfect song for these strange & twisted times on #PlanetLockDown no matter who may be singing it. °^*~=MP=~*^° P.s. Much appreciation to you WtfFtw1551
I know the original, but for whatever reason I more strongly identify with APCs cover.....his voice is hypnotic.
Maynard's voice is that of the angels.
+Ryan Gilpin exactly hes too good at singing and if you listen to his other bands he has such a variety of vocals too hes so awesome
+Ryan Gilpin like
i agree but billy is singing here.. and he did an excellent job with this cover, highly emotional.
Yeah I think most of the tracks are sung by Billy with Maynard being the exception of some counted tracks.
Can’t stop listening to this beauty...
Just da same in this World insane
Its comforting while I'm dying. This song gives me hope
This is the 3 things we all need. Peace, love and understanding. It's a shame that people forget that...
It's not that they forgot.
They never knew.
I am somtimes asked if any covers are better than the originals... This album proves my opinion..
YES!
My husband keeps saying "I can't believe you didn't get into APC sooner", and I can't either...this album is going to get a lot of replays from me
I grew up on this album and a lot of the singers works.
Best version possible. So many mornings with coffee brewing and this playing.
Love the heartbeat base throughout this song

the soul of the activist is both in so much joy, revelry, but also so much constant pain and struggle.
Stronger than ever brother ✊🏽
Billy kills it in this version
Have you listened to their version of What's Going On?
Peace, Love and Understanding. Three words to live your life by.
the entire emotive cd is an amazing gift to us as people it speaks to some people in more than one way not jsut music or the beat but the lyrics and the meaning for those who dislike i spit in your faces

Beautiful song, version and lyrics.. full of emotions, peace and darkness collide here
".. 'cause each time I feel it slippin' away,
just makes me wanna cry."
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? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding?
And as I walked 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? Ohhhh
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
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away, just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Ohhhh
What's so funny 'bout peace love and understanding? Ohhhh what's so fun about peace, love and understanding

I'm a WW2 fan, so listening to this sends me to that.
My favorite song in the world!!!
Word
Mine too. Just got out of the hospital with nothing, but pain again.
This old favorite tune just makes it all better.
I used to play Fallout 3 to this album. Very nostalgic.
Your mother is calling, best go run to her, child.
Your grandchildren are calling, best go run to them, old man.
Best video game ever
''Peace, pot, love and understanding'' :-)
🌫🌫🌫🤙
we must stop treating drug addicts as criminals. Morality, yes. But we are all still human beings.
love this remake
ahhh me encanta este temaa
Been listening to this album a lot lately.
Truly and amazing song. Maybe one day this song will become reality.
it already is. world is in chaos. and strongmen around the world use police to CRUSH peace love and understanding.
I love this album of APC. Maynard has really put his feelings into this cd, and I feel especially connected to it because the main point of the album is peace over annihilation. I love it 3
I've been searching for 40 years for a better one...still haven't. Therefore, they are the greatest band of all time.
This song is SICK. A perfect circle ftw!!!
still listening to this in 2022. this song is way too relevant today. i hope this world gets better, for us all. we all humans, lets stop the hate.
i love the strings in this song soo much
because they're fucking epic
such an inspiring violin backdrop......beautiful, tragic
It's so different from the original, but I really love the way A Perfect Circle does their covers. It's cool how them just changing the musical background and tempo really change the message of the song, but yet the lyrics don't really change.
hauntingly beautiful. a terrific cover
so prophetic

This is such a good cover.. APC always manages to bring out the dark reality of a song
Another great song
It so sad to see some poeple argue so badly about a peace and love song...
Before to "Love" or "Hate" the song, try to listen, to hear AND understand the meaning of it
scream your voice, stand up and shout, even if your voice trembles!
The best things in,my life are music and apc
It is what a cover should be: a re-interpretation of a song the artists love. They totally changed it up and made it their own and that is what the majority of this album was about, really. I'm rambling but the point is this is a cover that doesn't deserve much flak.
WE ARE LEGION
people who complain about this, saying it is "poorly re-done" don't look deep enough into it, maynard is trying to show the darker sides of these masterpieces, and put his own feeling into them, i personally think they are amazing
Billy did a great job singing this 😍
i think it is the best song of all perfect circle!
Good memories 😔🤘
Truth is included with love and understanding.. freedom is a bi-product of peace.
Freedom has become a death sentence
seriously you guys!!??! A perfect Circle is one AMAZING BAND. yeah i said it THEY ARE AMAZING. i have heard that original and i think THIS version definitely TOPS the original. the music is magnificent and artistic. And his voice actually shows the feeling of the song itself. I love it.
How many people came here because of LEGION?
p.s. WE ARE LEGION
ye. haven't listened to this version in years, didn't realize i missed it.
I love legion
hehe
Yes
I already listen to this band but didn't know they did a cover of this.. we are legion.
Ive been listening to a perfect circle for pretty much all of my thirteen years of life and I just dont know how they do it. I love mayard and especially in tool, don't get me wrong I love this song but might have loved it more if mayard sung it
You left me with this, love is the only way.
The outro is amazing!
It is beautiful
❤️
THIS SONG IS SO AWSOME!!! :D
I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!! I just discovered this band and I loooovee it! :D it's a shame that I didn't know anything about them earlier though.. :)(
My 2020 ANTHEM
My personal favourite from this record!
Great song!
More relevant than ever
im stuck between, this, fiddle and the drum and counting bodies like sheep... and aniahlation... FUCK!... I JUST LOVE IT ALL! XDXDXD
Welcome to the world of an Elvis Costello cover!
UGHH...... THIS IS NOT MAYNARD'S VISION. APC, for the most part, is BILLY's project in which he writes the majority of the lyrics/music. I'm sure Maynard has some influence during the writing process but he doesn't deserve all the credit just because he's Maynard.
I just love all the animals 2
here is the answer.
Fun is not about, fun is With
I like the original a lot, but I also like their cover. They put some really interesting twists on some fantastic old songs on this album.
They're good too!
i'm 10 and I love this
My high school days. (Bush era)
yes, mine too, just after high school as well. activism every day!
all these years, i still get that tunnel vision but like for my whole body like going through a wormhole in hyperspace at hyperspeed because i finally found the white hole inside the black hole that lets me back out into the beautiful expanding universe free of constraints and pressures
gotta love apc
@FaustusWasTaken though i agree with your statement, it is impertinent to this video mainly because this is Billy Howerdel singing :P
What's "funny" : People who think "feelings" are a weakness are the weakest ones of all because there is nothing stronger than Heart. Also, on the other hand, a lot of cheesy self help books are rediculous, and deserve the ridicule. Actual peace, love, and understanding isn't funny at all, but beautiful. Nothing cheesy about life.
Well said
Laura Gilbert I agree with you 100% piece, love and understanding creates strength that is stronger than all.
@ironmanLLXL agreed. its molded so much to the style and soul of apc that it strays from even being a cover and therefore from being subject to judgments based on the original.
i don't understand how some people can focus their entire life force to hate/ a little okay/I feel sorry for the ones that do they will forever be damned in finding and understanding love /this is a message from the devil of new castle
I do agree
Maynard might be my favorite vocalist ever.
@Nessera07 It definitely is disappointing. There a few people, far and in between, that can truly appreciate something so beautifully remade.
Cc cover! Whoop whoop
On the road to enlightenment
Peace, Love, and Understanding. It seems many of those who comment on this video do not fully grasp these concepts.
I listened to the other versions but I guess it's just not my taste. This is the best to me.
@JoonasFinland its actually billy howerdel singing on this song
This version is...interesting. The Elvis Costello version is awesome. Listen to it now if you haven't. This is totally different. More low key.
i find this one better. Perhaps because I heard it first or b/c I'm from another generation.. I admire MJK a lot.
True. But still, I do like Elvis Costello.
Chris Herring
He's good too.
Chris Herring the original is from Nick Lowe tho
DxSteve Oh.
@ironmanLLXL Honestly, I don't like this cover, but I APPRECIATE that APC performed this as if they had written it, and ultimatly, that's what makes a stand-out cover.

I do it everyday
36 people found this song so awesome there thumbs are upside down ^^
🙏
I prefer Nick Lowe's own version but this is one of the most original cover version I have ever heard. Plus Maynard is a great singer.
A perfect example is their live act of pushit c.f the studio recorded version. They simply change the tempo and some other things and it was turned into this completely different song yet it was the same.
@ProjectileBurn he has an own band if you like him: ashes divide. maybe you didnt know :)
What's so funny bout peace love and understanding
really? People complain about this song? Why? Is it too beautiful for their ears or somthing? Dose it have too much actuall value than what beiber shrieks? my my some people i dont see why this song is being complained about
2018 ?
@TheLoveNotWar1000 This song is a cover. the original is by Elvis Costello
"I wanna play a game"
Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?..
there is nothing funny about peace love and understanding
@Toby John You are incorrect.
Its hilarious
_ Esta Canción me relaja much :o
I think °^#thAt°^ is the perfect song for these strange & twisted times on #PlanetLockDown no matter who may be singing it.
