Ooberfuse Bring Hope and Honesty on “To Love To Peace Today”

Musical backgrounds sometimes gives songs meaning and purpose. In as much as artist put in much work, this song right here has been something beautiful and meaningful with the amount of work the artist put in. So if you think your commute is tough, imagine traveling to Bethlehem right now to record a song. That is exactly what the London duo Ooberfuse did this past December. They didn’t just sit in a fancy studio in the UK and sing about world peace. They actually went to the source, setting up their gear in a small spot called Soul Bar in Bethlehem and gave the world and listeners something meaningful to listen to and enjoy.

Well Ooberfuse is a pair of songwriters from Woolwich who have played everywhere from the London Palladium to tiny neighborhoods in Brazil. They’ve even had the Pope listen to their stuff. They recently toured with Heather Small from M People, so they know how to write a catchy tune. But their new song, “To Love To Peace Today,” feels a lot more urgent than your typical pop track and that what makes it interesting. The thought process regarding the song makes it a whole mood, then the energy put in gives the song the edge that listeners need to enjoy the song.

No, recording in Bethlehem wasn’t just a publicity stunt. The band wanted to capture the real sounds of the city. You can hear the local musicians playing the oud and regional percussion right alongside the keyboards. It doesn’t sound like a cheesy holiday card; it sounds like a real city that is tired of fighting. So are we gonna sit there and ruin the peace we have? Are we gonna sit down and let the men in suit bring war to us? When we can actually choose to love to peace today, and save our future tomorrow. Cos if we don’t then there would be no future for our kids tomorrow. So choose peace everyday.

The song is dropping just in time for Peace Sunday on January 18th. The message is pretty simple: peace shouldn’t be something we only talk about once a year when we’re eating turkey. For the people in Bethlehem, it’s something they need every single day. The song comes with a music video that complement the track perfectly with the serenity and calmness it oozes.

Whilst listening to the track, you’d realize it’s got that alternative pop vibe Ooberfuse is known for, but with a much deeper soul. It’s the kind of song that makes you stop scrolling and actually listen. They managed to take a huge, complicated topic and turn it into a personal request for the world to stop looking away.

Well “To Love To Peace Today“, doesn’t come in begging for attention, the moment you hit the play button, those horns just invites you in, then those silky smooth guitar strings just keeps you glued and before the vocals land, you’re already singing “Hey you! Where’s the future for us now”. So if you’re tired of the same old radio hits, give this one a listen. It’s got a lot of heart, a great beat, and a story that actually matters. Plus, any band that can get a thumbs up from both DJ Mag and the Pope is probably doing something right.
