Following Polaris, the stirring, tender offering serves as the closing track of the Blur and Gorillaz frontman's upcoming second solo album, 'The Nearer The Fountain, More Pure The Stream Flows', due out on November 12 via Transgressive Records.
It was influenced by an unexpected conversation between Albarn and a fellow passenger on a plane to Reykjavik, Iceland, which focused on the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic and, as a press release describes, "the acknowledgment that disruption is impossible to maintain as peace always prevails."
To accompany the song, the second in a series of cinematic films called Sublime Boulevards - Performance Films is available to stream below, directed by Transgressive Records founder Toby L.
This weekend, Albarn will appear as a guest headliner at End of the Road Festival. He'll also play rescheduled gigs in London and Dublin, as well as rearranged stops across Europe, in early 2022.
