New Model Army - High

Every now and then, something moving and thought-provoking finds its way onto my playlist. A few months ago, I saw New Model Army live and this song just blew me away. In the midst of an amazing gig, full of passion and energy, one song stood out a mile. It left a lasting impression on me, one of those songs that lyrically changes your perception, with a score to match.

"The movers move, the shakers shake, the winners write their history..."

Isn't that just the truth...

New Model Army - High

The live versions available on Youtube are a bit ropey, but they have the benefit of including the visceral intro that lead singer, Justin Sullivan, gave when I saw them:

When you’re feeling under pressure from life, relationships, work or the modern world around you, you need to get some perspective: climb the biggest hill you can find and take a long look at the undulating landscape around you, land that has been there for thousands of years and will be there for thousands of years after you are long gone, dead and forgotten. Then you can see that our daily pressures are really nothing…

Get some perspective, drones...
