The phrase “when the war is over” can refer to several songs and moments in music, most notably:

• Cold Chisel song: “When the War Is Over” from the 1982 album Circus Animals. It’s a distinctive track with an unconventional structure that has become one of the band’s most covered songs. It was released as a single and has seen renewed interest in later years.

• John Farnham song: a lyric line used in his piece “When the War Is Over,” which features themes of stepping away after conflict and finding a new path.

• John Lennon’s famous seasonal song: “Happy Xmas (War Is Over),” a well-known anti-war piece that has become a perennial holiday season staple. While not titled exactly “When the War Is Over,” it’s commonly associated with the same wartime-to-peace sentiment.

• Eric Clapton/J.J. Cale collaboration: a track titled “When the War Is Over” on The Road to Escondido, representing a different artist’s interpretation of the war-ends themes.
