| New Model Army – Green And Grey Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
On the face of it this song appears to describe how two people no longer see each other, one of them has moved on the other has stayed… But this being New Model Army suggests there are other things going on. The song seems to be dealing with loyally, and loyalty to the place where you come from. Well received when played live in Yorkshire, the area that the song appears to describe. Local people can connect themselves, the places described and their lives with the song. It’s interesting that away from the region it sometimes doesn’t go down well, perhaps either people see it as geographically not describing their own patch or maybe the listener has indeed been lured to ‘To the land of gold and poison’. The song ends by suggesting that by leaving you have betrayed. As a metaphor the song could be seen as how people are not ‘awake’ to their environment and leave in pursuit of something unattainable, forgetting their past, where they have come from and the people they have known. |
