THE WAR and 2016 I started recording a new album in May, songs I'd spent the previous winter writing. We were mixing said album by September and as the finishing line grew nearer I mused more and more on the events of the summer. I had been recording as seismic social change happened, as Britain voted to leave the EU... recording as shocking news feeds appeared on my phone...recording the day after the Florida shootings, and on the day of Jo Cox's murder. My last few records had contained songs about love, relationships, parenthood, personal circumstances - but for the first time in a decade I knew I was making an album of songs which were my take on the tone of the times, the social and dare I say political climate... and by September we were living in a changed world. Having felt that my new batch of songs presented a cohesive statement, suddenly - in amidst shock, numbness and bewilderment about all that had gone down - came a feeling that there was more I needed to say. So in the course of 2 hours one evening during mixing I sat down at a keyboard and "The War" appeared. And now I offer it up, prompted by a nagging notion that it should be heard in the dying days of the year which invoked it. I humbly request that you watch right to the end of the video. I offer it in love and respect to those to whom the year was not kind, and I trust that anyone listening hears not just the darkness in it but also the hope. THE WAR She took a walk Past rebels and boys who talk Raised up her hand and fought To bridge a divide And the screen ghosts moaned Flickered in every home The teeth of the times grew long And glittered with pride Cos the war It isn’t out there Like before It isn’t out there But they’ll show you the blood on the face of a child They’ll sell you your heartbreak so perfectly styled and they’ll tell you to take your position and man the frontier But take a look at that box on your desk Take a look at that heart in your chest Take a look at those thoughts in your head The war’s already here From sea to sea From GTA to MTV The language of absentees Is zeros and ones And Orlando aches The French Riviera shakes That avalanche overtakes The roar of the guns Its so easy to hide Behind imagined Ironsides Nostalgic and misty eyed When the wolf’s at the door In the tide of hate Throw down the counterweight Tear up that flag and say You’re worthy of more Cos she took a walk Past rhetoric and empty talk Raised up her hand and fought To bridge a divide You can cut that stem But wild flowers grow again All you can do is just tend to them And know that you tried
