dbpprop:abstract
  • "Pipes of Peace" is a song written by Paul McCartney, which was first released on his album also called Pipes of Peace on 31 October 1983. It was also released as a single on 5 December 1983 and reached #1 in the UK singles chart for two weeks. In the United States, "Pipes of Peace" was issued as the B-Side, and its British B-Side, "So Bad," was issued as the A-Side. "So Bad" climbed to No. 23 on the US Billboard charts. At Chobham Common, Surrey, a video was shot for "Pipes of Peace", depicting the famous 1914 Christmas truce between British and German troops. It portrays a British and a German soldier, both played by McCartney, who meet up in No Man's Land and exchange photos of their loved ones while other soldiers fraternise and play football. When a shell blast forces the two armies to retreat to their own trenches both men realise that they still have each-other's pictures. The video was produced by Hugh Symonds, featured more than 100 extras, and for added realism McCartney had his hair cut short especially for the shoot. The same story is told in the French film Joyeux Noel. "Pipes of Peace" was originally recorded during September/October 1982. Despite featuring on 22 UK number one singles, this was his only number one as an entirely solo artist. Subsequently he had number ones as a member of Ferry Aid and Band Aid 20.
  • パイプス・オブ・ピース(Pipes Of Peace)1983年にポール・マッカートニー(Paul McCartney)が発表した楽曲、及び同曲を収録したシングル。 ポールのソロ・アルバム『パイプス・オブ・ピース』からの第二弾シングル。ベストアルバム『オール・ザ・ベスト』『夢の翼〜ヒッツ&ヒストリー〜』に収録されている。全英1位を記録。なお。アメリカでは本曲に代わって「ソー・バッド」がシングルとしてリリースされたが、チャートは21位に終わっている。前のアルバム『タッグ・オブ・ウォー』で問いかけた問題の答えとして、「in love our problems disappear(愛の中では問題はなくなってしまう)」と、ポールらしく楽観的に歌っている。 プロモーションビデオは、1914年(第一次世界大戦中)のイギリス・ドイツ間のクリスマス休暇を題材にしている。なお『オール・ザ・ベスト』のライナーノーツにおける本曲イラストも、英独両軍が握手しているところである。
