22 June 2025 – Songs for peace

Work began on this playlist last night as reports of the United States bombing Iran began to appear. It was “completed” this morning. Note that this list deviates from the rules (well, guidelines really) of playlists in two ways. Some artists appear more than once. Some songs do as well. Although not every song with the same title is the same song.
