ALIVE - Peace on Earth
play

02/25/22 • 2 min

I am taking the time today to wish peace on Earth. To wish the end of all wars, wherever they are. It saddens me to see Russia invading Ukraine.
I just wanted to share that the theme music of Alive was composed last year by an Ukranian musician. Tim Moor did that to celebrate the 30 years of independence of Ukraine.
I hope that we all will take a moment of reflection here: Peace on Earth.
