For, while What The World Needs Now is a beautiful song, love alone is not often nearly enough. As such, in order to overcome the ongoing troubles and wars of the world, peace and love are equally important.

In fact, many have been part of a never-ending revolution to bring about courage and unity through music.

There have been a number of artists whose songs have no doubt had a major impact on the world, John Lennon and Leonard Cohen to name a few. While this is the case, it is still important that current and future artists continue to work in this area. For, whether a song can change the world, or only bring peace and harmony to a community during a crisis, there is still an ongoing purpose and need for this music.

It is important that performance artists, poets, singer-songwriters and bands continue to provide this integral music. For, while there often seems to be no end to the troubles at hand, the music can at lest work to calm the souls of people in the present.

Whether community or politically based, working with people on the local level can often lead to global change. As such, the best way for a community to have an impact on the larger world is through the participation and work of those involved in local events.

Most often, individuals lucky enough to have cable or satellite television can listen to a number of different artists and genres on numerous channels. Whereas, there are others whom live in rural areas or can not afford these services whom may only get a few radio stations. For those whom have internet, Internet Archive dot org, YouTube and Facebook Live can often provide a great deal of music which is often gratifying and uplifting.

Groups which were great at spreading this type of music in the 60s and 70s still have music available today at local libraries, in-store and online. As the world is currently going through similar experiences to those of that time, listening to this music can often calm have a calming effect on body, mind and spirit.
