:: David Ford - State Of The Union

David Ford

With an accent as distinctive as that of James Blunt, David Ford addresses the hard-hitting issues of today’s world, with a song that, in its own quite way, shouts out about the stupidity behind many of the decisions people make. Its subtlety is what makes its message so strong. It doesn’t force itself down our throats, but presents it to us almost calmly. Drugs, senseless killings, and the seemingly hopeless plight of man are all included in this song. And the punch line, which repeats itself over and over again, reveals just how lost we are: ‘it’s a shame.’ A good wake up call.
