Sobre el álbum
Este álbum de 1999 es la obra que marca el regreso del dúo tras casi una década de silencio, y una pieza de madurez en la discografía de Eurythmics. 'Peace' es un trabajo que, como su título indica ("Paz"), está impregnado de un mensaje de reconciliación y de esperanza. El disco fue el apoyo de una gira mundial cuyos beneficios se destinaron a Amnistía Internacional y a Greenpeace.
El sonido del álbum es de un pop-rock adulto y muy pulido, con un gran protagonismo de las guitarras y los arreglos de cuerda. La producción es exquisita y busca un sonido orgánico y atemporal.
Las letras de Annie Lennox reflexionan sobre el paso del tiempo, los conflictos del mundo y la necesidad del amor y del entendimiento. El sencillo "I Saved the World Today" es un ejemplo perfecto de esta nueva sensibilidad, una balada de una belleza sobrecogedora.
'Peace' es un regreso triunfal. Es el sonido de dos artistas que, desde la madurez, utilizan su música para lanzar un mensaje positivo al mundo. Es una obra de una gran elegancia y profundidad.

Letra
Yea though we ventured through the valley of the stars You in all your jewellery and my bleeding heart Who couldn't be together and who could not be apart We should've jumped out of that airplane after all Flying skyways overhead it wasn't hard to fall And I had so many crashes that I couldn't feel at all And it feels like I'm seventeen again Feels like I'm seventeen again Time might break you, god forsake you, leave you burnt and bruised Innocence will teach you what it feels like to be used Thought that you'd done everything, you didn't have a clue And it feels like I'm seventeen again Feels like I'm seventeen again Looking from the outside in some things never change Hey hey I'm a million miles away Funny how it seems like yesterday All those fake celebrities and all those vicious queens All the stupid papers and the stupid magazines Sweet dreams are made of anything that gets you in the scene And it feels like I'm seventeen again And it feels like I'm seventeen again Yes it feels like I'm seventeen again Seventeen, seventeen again yeah yeah yeah Sweet dreams are made of these Who am I to disagree ? I travelled the world and the seven seas Everybody's looking for somehing yeah - I Saved The World Today4:53

Letra
Something that I said Made you wear a frown The way you hang your head Has made the tears come down But don´t you wear a sigh My beautiful child You know it doesn´t burn When you touch the sun So don´t be concerned My golden one You´re gonna reach the sky Fly Beautiful child There is no other place The human race Is running out of space There is no better love And human love is what it takes And I´ll be at your side When you´re falling down You´ll be feeling fine When you hit the ground So don´t slip away Stay Beautiful child - Anything But Strong5:04
Letra
Why do you hurt yourself? You do it very well You do it so politely That you couldn't even tell When everything has changed You think you're not to blame How come you keep on talking When the whole thing feels so strange?... But seeing is not the save as believing When everything goes wrong You're anything but string It's a bittersweet Outside in the street The grass is growing greener Underneath your feet We come and go The deep water flows Tiny leaves from small seeds To tall trees do grow But wanting is not the same thing as needing There's no need to pretend You can't turn back again And loving is so different to keeping The hurting that we send Is so difficult to mend (Hold on to the good thingd) (That keep you from falling down) How my heart aches More than I can take What are we really learning When we make the same mistakes? Where is your hope? It's all gone up in smoke You used to be so funny Now it's just the same old joke And laughing is so very close to crying When there's nothing to defend It gets you in the end And living is very close to dying You struggle on and on To find where you belong Where do you belong? - Peace Is Just A Word5:51
Letra
Stop the world Turn out the sun I'm so tired of it turning round Stop the world Call it a day Leave it all behind Leave it that way Peace Is just a word Is just a word Stop the world Just let it bleed Well we've taken more Than everything we need Stop the world Just shut it down [Just shut it down shut it down]* There's no point in it Spinning round Peace Is just a word Is just a word Stop the world Take it any where It's just that Living here is more Than I can bear Stop the world Just pack it in Well we've reached the point Where no-one ever wins No-one ever wins Peace Is just a word It's just a word - I've Tried Everything4:17

Letra
My true love is sitting on a pile of stones And he's wondering to himself Oh where did I go wrong? My true love has found himself alone And he's sorry for it all And for the hurt we've done And I've given more than I can take Fallen for the same mistake Promises were made to break What will save us now? And I don't want to remember And I don't want to remember My true love is a saccharine kind of pill That tastes too sweet for words And cannot be fulfilled My true love is a dangerous china cup With all the broken pieces That cannot be picked up Now all the colours left to run All the dreams have been undone Love has left me standing here Raging at the sun And I don't want to remember And I don't want to remember - Forever4:08
Letra
When we were young With time to waste Everything was clear and good Thought we could live For a thousand years But yesterday is done And tomorrow's yet to come You'll never know Forever Now that you're gone Gone forever But the day goes on Forever Yea yea yea Forever And I remember when we were fools Everything was me and you Thought we were kings With time to kill But yesterday is done And tomorrow's yet to come You live and learn Forever Now that you're gone Gone forever But the day goes on Forever Yea yea yea Forever Some people never take the time to try The way you live's the way you die The stuff of life's in short supply And if it sometimes hits you strong Remembering that things go wrong The song of life is just a song And everything goes on and on [You know I ran right up to the top of the hill And then I fell right down but I made it still You know I thought I'd die but I never will You gotta live this life alone]* Forever Now that you're gone Gone forever But the day goes on Forever Yea yea yea Forever - Lifted4:49
Letra
Don't be afraid when you Walk through the dark Just when you feel that Your day fell apart Stay strong Keep holding on Clear skies ahead and the dark day is done Keep on lifted Keep on lifted I wish you everything That you could want Just when the day finds you Turned back to front Stay clear Rescue is near When you feel That you're drowned in despair Keep on lifted keep on lifted You're a bird in the sky now baby Earthbound Feet on the ground Now you can find peace at last Now you can find peace at last
