| - Vrede was the Dutch entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 1993 in Millstreet performed by Ruth Jacott. The song is an up-tempo number, with musical influences from the urban styles rising to prominence at the time. Among these influences is the first appearance of DJ scratching (in the instrumental break) in Contest history. Lyrically, Jacott sings about the successes that humanity has experienced through science and how beneficial they appear to be. She cites the fact that "something is done to the asphalt" on roads to make braking easier in cars, as well as genetically engineered apples, heavier-than-air flight and "a lightbulb that never burns out" among other triumphs. Importantly, however, she concludes the chorus with the comment that none of these things will help "to keep the peace", suggesting that solidarity among the human race is more important than scientific progress. The song was performed twentieth on the night, following the United Kingdom and preceding Croatia. At the close of voting, it finished in sixth place with 92 points.
