“We live in Orwellian times”

(Originally posted on Wednesday, 4 August 2021; updated on 20 September 20201)



My favourite parts of the lyrics:

“Everywhere you look, everywhere you turn
The future fights the past, the books begin to burn
Words wage war, meanings being missed
I'll walk you through the apocalypse

We live in Orwellian times
A deepening sense of fear and crime
On the playing fields, in exclusive clubs
And the people machines still making fools out of us”

The song above is the first single from the 14th studio album by my favourite music band Manic Street Preachers. The album is called “The Ultra Vivid Lament” and I consider it almost a masterpiece. Below there is the second single from this album.



The song The Secret He Had Missed features vocals from Julia Cumming (Sunflower Bean), but the video for the single stars actress Aimee Ffion Edwards (Peaky Blinders).
