Bryan Adams wrote a song calling for peace talks “in response to global conflict.”
Ryan Adams said he wrote an anti-war song in response to the “lack of peace talks” amid conflict around the world.
The Canadian singer, known for hits like ‘Run To You’ and ‘Summer Of ’69,’ has released the track ‘What If There Were No Sides At All,’ which he co-wrote with collaborator Gretchen Peters.
In the music video, co-directed by the music star, the 63-year-old can be seen holding a white flag with a black peace sign as he walks through a dystopian warscape.
In a statement to the PA news agency, Adams said: “The song is a response to global conflict, the lack of constructive peace talks and the billions of dollars governments are spending to fund these endless and aimless wars.”
“The song is not a reaction to any particular war, but to all conflicts and the human struggle to get along.
“The locations are not specific to any particular location and are meant to be representative of conflicts wherever they erupt in the world.”
The lyrics say, “Why should one side win and the other side lose?”
A statement on Bryan Adams’ official website said the track’s goal is “to stimulate thought and maybe even encourage governments to sit down and talk about peace.”
It continued, “Right now there is only increasing division and death – a consequence of the billions of dollars governments are spending to fund these endless wars.” #peacenow.”
Adams is best known for releasing a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s, including Heaven and (Everything I Do) I Do It For You.
