"'''Peace'''" is [[Depeche Mode]]'s second single from their studio album, ''[[Sounds of the Universe]]'', their 47th UK single overall and the first not to be issued on 12" vinyl since "[[Dreaming of Me]]" in 1981. It was released on 15 June 2009. Martin Gore told ''[[The Sun (United Kingdom)|The Sun]]'' newspaper that he thought "Peace" is one of his favourite songs that he has ever written. He explained that both "Peace" and "Little Soul", "give the album a kind of thread. Both of those songs have a real spiritual feel, though we have to be really careful using that word." <ref>[http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=15369 Peace Songfacts]</ref> The song charted at #57 in the UK charts, equal to their first ever single, "[[Dreaming of Me]]" in 1981. This is the band's second lowest UK singles chart position after "[[Little 15]]", originally intended to be a [[France]]-only release which reached #60 upon limited UK release in 1988. In [[Germany]], "Peace" reached #25.

Background

[edit]

Martin Gore told The Sun newspaper that he thought "Peace" is one of his favourite songs that he has ever written. He explained that both "Peace" and "Little Soul", "give the album a kind of thread. Both of those songs have a real spiritual feel, though we have to be really careful using that word."[1] The song charted at #57 in the UK charts, equal to their first ever single, "Dreaming of Me" in 1981. This is the band's second lowest UK Singles Chart position after "Little 15", originally intended to be a France-only release which reached #60 upon limited UK release in 1988. In Germany, "Peace" reached #25.

The music video for "Peace" was filmed in Negoiești, Prahova, Romania by French duo Jonas & François, it features Romanian actress Maria Dinulescu and marks the first Depeche Mode video to not include any of the band members (because of Dave Gahan's illness), save for a promotional poster near the end.
