Internationally Acclaimed Children’s Music Artist and Performer Daria Returns With an Uplifting and Universally Resonant Anthem, “Peace Like a River”
In a world that sometimes gets the better of us, it is the simple pleasures of life that make it worth living—like the sight of the morning sunshine in its radiant glory beaming on our faces, or perhaps a walk in the park, watching children play joyfully outside, or listening to music so good it makes you want to cry. For more than 4 decades, globally acclaimed artist and performer DARIA has been performing in the USA and around the world, her music a beacon of positivity, unity, joy, and love for all the children in the world. While she does not do any of this for fame or critical acclaim but for the goodness of her heart as much as her own selfless dedication to making the world a better place by appealing to children from a young age, her efforts have not been futile as she has won numerous awards and continues doing so. Her mission is so much bigger than her; she is seeking to make a positive impact on as many children across the world as possible, one song, one performance at a time.
“Peace Like A River” is her latest project and one that is uplifting, inspiring, empowering, and universally resonant. A Kenyan producer has produced this jam, which marks a slight departure from her signature folk sound to a livelier, Afrobeats-flavored soundscape.
The stunning, contemporary, and dance-induced beats with an African feel provide a striking backdrop for the lead angelic vocals, with the backing choral-like harmonies adding that haunting allure to the song.
While the production is delightful, the lyrics are more fulfilling with the catchy and repeated hooks of “I’ve got peace like a river…I’ve got joy like a fountain…I’ve got love like the ocean in my soul” encapsulating the track’s purpose of spreading that inner peace, love, and joy to kids all around the world, and indeed everyone navigating a troubled world the best way they can.
“Peace Like A River” is the kind of music that hits so close to home. The solace you get from this performance is beyond words can measure as DARIA’s tenderly nourished and emotive vocals vividly paint a peaceful, joyful, and loving world that we could all do with, now more than ever.
The song has beautiful cover art that was created by a prodigy of creative talent from Belarus and the accompanying anime-inspired visuals that complement the song were done by a Ukrainian. As you can see, DARIA is someone who believes in the power of collaboration and unity, and even without saying it out loud, her actions do: when we come together, great things happen.
Check this anthem below and let it infuse your listening days as well as those of your kids or kids close to you. Thank You.
