This one is Mishka Frith.… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one band called Mishka.
This one is Mishka Frith. Like his older sister, singer/songwriter Heather Nova (born Heather Frith), pop-reggae singer Mishka grew up at sea, traveling from island to island in the West Indies on his Canadian mother and Bermudian father's sailboat, where he received most of his education and listened to whatever music he could. When his parents returned to Canada, he completed school and returned to the Caribbean, eventually becoming a competitive windsurfer and representing Bermuda at international meets. In the meantime, he had also taken up songwriting, and he chanced to meet and impress Creation Records head Alan McGee with his vocal ability in late 1996; with prodding from Nova, Mishka was signed to a record contract the following year. His eponymous debut album, a mix of pop, reggae, soul, and singer/songwriter folk-rock, was released in 1999.
The other Mishka is from Ireland, currently living in America. Fronted by Lauren Norton. They have one EP - 47 Varieties Of Hindsight. Myspace: www.myspace.com/mihskamusik
Peace And Love
Mishka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As peace and love
You'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love
You'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love
You said you're tight with the fashionable scene yeah
You said it's all about champagne and limousine
And what fills your cup
But you'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love
So you tell me that it's peaches and cream yeah
And all your pretty stuff
You'd said this sweet life that we're livin' is a dream
But I'm callin your bluff
Because you'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love
You said it's all about goin' to the gym now
And getting real buff
But like the big bag wolf you can't come in
Tought you'll find a sweeter combination
As peace and love
Peace and love (x4)
All over this Earth people grieving
Who have had it so rough
So don't you try to deceive no one
And act like you're tough
Because you'll never find a sweeter combination
You'll never find a sweeter combination
You'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love
you'll never find a sweeter combination
You'll never find a sweeter combination
You'll never find a sweeter combination
As peace and love
Peace and love
Peace and love...
The song Peace & Love by Mishka is a powerful message about the importance of the harmony between peace and love. The first verse talks about how there is no combination sweeter than peace and love. The second verse focuses on how the fashionable scene seems to be all about food and drinks, but it's empty and superficial. The third verse is about how some people may pretend to live a sweet life that is really a dream, but they are just bluffing. And in the last verse, the song brings up the reality that there are people all around the world who are struggling, so pretending to be tough is not the answer. The lyrics show that the combination of peace and love is the key to a happy and fulfilling life.
One interesting fact about the song is that Mishka was inspired to write it after giving a talk at the United Nations about the importance of peace, love, and compassion. The song was later used by the United Nations for their International Day of Peace campaign. Another interesting fact is that the music video for the song was filmed in the Bahamas and features Mishka playing his guitar on a boat in the ocean. The video highlights the beauty of nature and the message of peace and love.
