After the Kruder and Dorfmeister releases "DJ Kicks" (!K7, 1996) and "K&D Sessions" (!K7, 1998) became global bestsellers, he followed up with his solo project Peace Orchestra. Peace Orchestra is also the title of an album recorded by Kruder and released to critical acclaim in 1999. The album's most well-known track is "Who Am I", which received a great deal of exposure through its use in the The Wachowskis' Animatrix project alongside tracks by Photek, Death in Vegas and Juno Reactor. It was also used in the movies Stay (2005), and Memento (Christopher Nolan, 2000).
An album of Peace Orchestra remixes by such artists as Gotan Project, Chateau Flight, Beanfield, DJ DSL and Trüby Trio was released in 2002, entitled Reset. In addition to releasing under the "Peace Orchestra" moniker Peter Kruder´s solo remixes were in demand by artists like Bebel Gilberto, Fauna Flash and various other artists. With Fauna Flash - Munich DJs and producers Christian Prommer and Roland Appel - Kruder kicked off the Voom:Voom project in 2001.

Peace Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm shining
There's no love today
I'm laughing
Everything I gave, I loved to
Anything from me is yours
There's no light today
There's no love today
I'm laughing
Everything I gave, I loved to
Anything from me is yours
There's no light today
I'm shining
There's no love today
I'm laughing
Everything I gave, I loved to
Anything from me is yours
There's no light today
I'm shining
There's no love today
I'm laughing
Everything I gave, I loved to
Anything from me is yours
There's no light today
I'm shining
There's no love today
I'm laughing
Everything I gave, I loved to
Anything from me is yours
The lyrics of Peace Orchestra's song "Shining" can be interpreted in multiple ways. On the surface, the repetition of "there's no light today" and "there's no love today" can be seen as a description of a dark moment in someone's life. However, the following line "I'm shining" and "I'm laughing" challenge that initial interpretation. The singer of the song is claiming that even in the absence of light and love, they are still able to shine and laugh. The lines "everything I gave, I loved to, anything from me is yours" can be seen as a message of generosity and love that the singer is sharing with the listener. The repetition of these lines throughout the song reinforce the message of the singer's enduring generosity.
Another interpretation of these lyrics can be related to the concept of self-love and self-care. Even in moments of darkness and despair, it is important to shine and appreciate the things that we have given to ourselves and others. The lines "anything from me is yours" can also be seen as an invitation to the listener to take what they need from the singer. This can be interpreted as a message of community and interconnectedness.
Overall, "Shining" by Peace Orchestra is a song about resilience and hope, even in the midst of challenging times.
