This fourth and final single from The The's recent album Ensoulment was a bit of a surprise, as I bought a bundled trio of singles just recently. But as Matt Johnson explained: "Having now had the chance to perform the new album live across the
UK, Europe and America, we found that these two songs were amongst the
most popular. ‘Where Do We Go When We Die?’ was written for my late
father Eddie Johnson (author of
Tales From The Two Puddings) whilst
‘Risin’ Above The Need’ is a philosophical muse upon addiction and
materialism and the power of the human spirit to overcome obstacles."
I ordered the single the minute I received the newsletter from the band, afraid that I might miss out if I waited. This is a limited edition physical release, after all... It neatly completes this particular mini-collection.
My collection: 7" single no. 7527
Found: The The website, received 10 December 2024
Tracks: 'Risin' above the need' / 'Where do we go when we die'
