listen hear! spotlights a song we like and think you will too!
It’s the feeling that we’ve been sharing. Frank Turner has the song that perfectly sums up what we’ve all been missing: the live music experience. “The Gathering”, his first new music in two years, nails our pent up frustration of not being able to share that communal feeling and excitement.
It’s a high energy anthemic blast that features fiery guitar work from Jason Isbell and powerful drumming by Dom Howard from Muse. It's a song for our times.
“[‘The Gathering’ is] about that moment when you come together in a room full of people, and you lean on a stranger and sing along with the chorus and get the words wrong,” Turner said in a statement. “It’s a song about what we’ve been missing, that sense of coming together, and how ready I am to get back to it. The last year has been incredibly difficult and frustrating for everyone, not least the people who work and revel in live music.”
