“PEACE, LOVE, & UNDERSTANDING”

        FORMAT: NEW THOUGHT_POP_SOFT ROCK_PIANO/VOCAL

Combine great lyrics, great chords with an aesthetic piano/vocal arrangement and you have the newest CD from Tom Burns. "Peace, Love & Understanding" is brilliantly simple in execution, yet rich with spirituality.

    I could probably use this space to write something meaningful about how the songs on this CD provided answers to all the problems in my life. I could even write about how a certain song was a catalyst for some big change I made or how another song held a "Zen" moment for me, because they did, but I won't.
     My purpose for making "Peace, Love, & Understanding", is to share a special treasure with you. I want you to experience some of the music that over the past thirty years has literally become the soundtrack of my life. These are the songs I have loved to sing along with, music that has influenced me, and lyrics that have given me guidance. This is a collection of the true musical masterpieces, so seldom heard, that to leave them on the shelf any longer would be like leaving "Mona Lisa in a closet".
     "Songs with great stories, great chords" was my mantra throughout this whole process: to take highly produced songs and strip them of their production, revealing great music supporting great stories. What started out as a list of forty-three "Mona Lisa's" is now this collection of eleven songs with one common narrative thread..."Peace, Love, & Understanding"... Tom
