Usually, the lyrics change to "oseh shalom bimromav/Hu ya'aseh shalom/aleinu v'al kol Yisrael/v'imru amen" on the last repetition of the melody, but in this particular rendition they don't really do that in full. But the tune really speaks to me too.

(I was very sad to find out it is a "borrowed" tune, I.e. not originally Jewish, and never acknowledged by the Jewish artists who made it popular:
)

So I can't see the videos because of filter blocking, and I'm pretty sure this is not what you had in mind, but the first thing that popped into my mind was from Marvelous Middos Machine - was it the 3rd one? My kids have been listening to it a lot lately. "Shalom means peace, and shalom's the way, someone who loves shalom seeks peace every day..."

Op here. Thanks for this! I totally forgot about this song. It's definitely one of my favorites.
Ps. I didn't know that re the origin. Interesting.

Seeker, that was my first thought too. Abie Rottenberg is so hartzig.

Ahem. Uncle Moishie, volume 12, to the tune of l'shana haba'ah.

Shalom means peace, peace means no more war. No more war means time to serve Hashem for ever more.

Also, in the realm of the great Abie Rottenberg, Shalom Rav by Dveykus.

I think that song is beautiful! It actually popped into my mind, too. I love the slow songs from the Marvelous Middos Machine -- the teshuva song is also terrific, and of course the Ahavas Yisroel song!

Will I be drawn and quartered for saying I love the song "Imagine"?

I don't think the one or two objectionable lines should take away from the message.

(Sighs with relief that anonymous posting is enabled in this forum...) Confused

"All of you brothers over in Africa
Tell all the folks in Egypt, and Israel, too
Please don't miss this train at the station
'Cause if you miss it, I feel sorry, sorry for you"
