In the words of Nigel Potter about his song, No More War (Upon The Green Earth)
"Another song that came out of discussion on the original Mixposure.com circa 2006. I was presented with a picture in a private message for my part in the discussions,it was a picture of the Nobel Peace Prize medal. So,I thought I had better try to warrent it. Love really can heal the world. I sat and imagined a world where we suddenly turned our backs on war forever,and felt the triumphant cry:"NO MORE WAR!!" :)"
