"Love in a Peaceful World" is a song by English jazz-funk band Level 42, released in July 1994 by RCA Records from their final studio album of the decade, Forever Now (1994). It was written by Phil Gould and S. White, and produced by the band. The song peaked at No. 31 on the UK Singles Chart, and is the last single of Level 42 to enter the charts. The music video of this song is the final video recorded by Level 42, with Jeff Baynes as director. The single was released only in the United Kingdom.[1]
The song appears on the compilation album Past Lives – The Best of the RCA Years, released in 2007 which features their greatest hit songs from 1991–1996 when the band was with RCA.
Critical reception
Alan Jones from Music Week complimented the song as "a restrained ballad which is likely to follow the first two into the To 40. It has definite radio appeal, though the lack of a dance track on the flip (a device used for their last two singles) may count against it."[2] Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "M. King could of course mean Martin Luther King as well. Mr. bass guitar has a dream about love, peace and understanding too, but more focused on personal relations. A soap-box-love-ballad."[3]
