After college, Anne continued to play the band circuit in and around town, brought out a self-titled debut album, followed by Fishhead label's "Thinking of You", and wed her favorite fan and attorney. Once she began growing her little family, the gigs pretty much came to a halt, but Anne continued to pursue a successful career as the familiar voice of hundreds of well-known television and radio commercials.
Anne with Jim Brickman in younger days Jim Brickman was taking big strides out west at that time, but the pair had a forever friendship that would bridge the distance. The turning point came when he asked Anne to be his vocalist on an Asian tour in the wake of "By Heart "success. Jim was convinced his fans would love Anne's voice and her radiant persona. Their duo worked its magic and soon the pair had a first big date at Lincoln Center, fine-tuning their playful banter and polishing their sound: "Jim lured me back on stage and into the mainstream. After my 'big amp' experiences in rock, it was simply amazing to hear my own voice again!"
Peace
Anne Cochran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
Someone shoots a gun in the midnight air
And I don't know why
Somebody lives, somebody dies
Somebody wrongs and a mother cries
And I don't know why
Other things you change if you can
Peace, you'll find it where the heart is
And the heart is right where love lives
And love can always find a way
Hope is the something that reminds us
It's not too late to find us
One day we may be in peace
Haven't spoken in thirty years
After angry words and bitter tears
And I don't know why
Best of brothers and best of friends
One mistake and their story ends
And I don't know why
Some things we'll never understand
Other things you change if you can
Peace, you'll find it where the heart is
And the heart is right where love lives
And love can always find a way
Hope is the something that reminds us
It's not too late to find us
One day we may be in peace
It's all about forgiveness
With God as my witness
I wanna live to see peace
Peace, you'll find it where the heart is
And the heart is right where love lives
And love can always find a way
Hope is the something that reminds us
It's not too late to find us
One day we may be in peace
These poignant lyrics from Anne Cochran's song "Peace" reflect on the complexities of life, the struggles we face, and the quest for harmony and reconciliation. The imagery of someone shooting a gun in the midnight air and the subsequent ripple effects of violence and sorrow set a somber tone. The repeated refrain of "And I don't know why" conveys a sense of helplessness and confusion in the face of senseless suffering and tragedy, highlighting the often inexplicable nature of pain and loss in the world.
The verses touch on the themes of forgiveness, regret, and the enduring power of love to heal wounds and bridge divides. The breakdown of relationships, whether between siblings or long-lost friends, serves as a reminder of how fragile connections can be and how easily misunderstandings can lead to irreparable damage. The reference to "angry words and bitter tears" evokes the emotional toll of unresolved conflict and the longing for reconciliation.
Despite the darkness and despair depicted in the verses, there is a thread of hope that runs through the song. The idea that peace can be found where love resides speaks to the transformative potential of compassion and understanding. The notion of hope as a beacon that guides us towards a future where peace is attainable underscores the resilience of the human spirit and the possibility of redemption and healing, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.
Ultimately, the call for forgiveness and the declaration of a desire to witness peace, with God as a witness, encapsulate the song's central message of embracing compassion, choosing love over hate, and working towards a world where conflicts are resolved, wounds are healed, and harmony prevails. The lyrics remind us that while we may not always understand the reasons behind pain and suffering, we have the power to sow seeds of peace through acts of kindness, forgiveness, and love, paving the way for a brighter and more harmonious future.
