Zilli Henneberg’s original single, “Peace in the World” is a strange and unexpected work of art. This song critiques our society’s goals, warfare, and nuclear threats with sharp sarcasm. It delivers a strong message by combining dark humour with fiction, which makes it incredibly terrifying but thought-provoking at the same time.
The lyrics of the song, at first, can seem like a set of powerful yet peaceful lyrics, but if you listen further, you can observe how Henneberg is focusing on the absurdity of violence-filled global conflicts through satire. In addition, phrases like ‘Weapons will end the education emergency. Just shoot down the schools’ and ‘Peace with extremely green weapons’ displays the grandeur of political posturing. He highlights the neglect to address underlying issues of education and health care by justifying military spending. Slammed apart from its witty appeal is the dark lyric content of the song, and the sound musically is rhythmic and has a lively touch to it. The sarcasm is elevated as G, h7, a7, and D7 sharpen the punch line. Combining ‘When everyone drops their atomic bomb, there will finally be peace in the world’ is said over and over again, which purposefully gets the listeners to think thoroughly over the disturbing logic behind nuclear warfare.
Elements of boogie, ska, jazz, rock, reggae, and schlager are unified in a unique way by Henneberg. Mundharmoni gave live performances, which made the sound richer, which in turn led to heart-throbbing, unforeseeable music. Music with a message is truly what appeals, and even though his work does not comply with mainstream trends, it really does carry pure energy. A satirical wake-up call is exactly what “Peace in the World” is. To think critically about not just politics, but war and societal values, all in one while grooving to the beat – now that is impressive.
