Set to an R&B rhythm base, “World Peace” begins with the sound of thunder, and a daughter asking her Mother ‘when is Daddy coming home?’ Through the song, the Mother replies to the daughter that she’s not sure, and that they have to pray for all troops to come home safely. Calling on all listeners to play a role in ending the war, Jemini accentuates the fact that the ‘Highway of Hero’s’ is not the way home.
The Highway of Hero’s, is a stretch of highway that extends from Glen Miller Road in Trenton and the intersection of the Don Valley Parkway and Highway 404 in Toronto which was so named in honour of Canada’s fallen servicemen and servicewomen. This length of highway is often travelled by a convoy of vehicles carrying a fallen soldier’s body while enroute from CFB Trenton, to the coroner’s office at the Centre for Forensic Sciences in Toronto.
“I wrote this song because of the Soldiers we have lost here in Canada and around the world. There are so many children crying because their Moms and Dads aren’t coming home because of war. We need to focus on peace. It’s saddening to see people line overpasses on the highway to salute our soldiers,” said Jemini.
In addition to recording the song, Jemini has reached out to MP’s, select leaders and the Military in the hopes that “World Peace” will be implemented in presentations, and to give voice to a younger generation of Canadians who would like Canada’s peace keeping missions to remain a focus of the federal government.
Jemini is prepared to travel to cities across Canada, the United States and the world performing “World Peace” to encourage unity. President Barack Obama’s recent decision to withdraw troops from Iraq by December 2011, signals the possibility that Jemini is heading in the right direction.
