Spartan Records and Chris Simpson are excited to announce the music video for ‘War Kids’, the latest single to be lifted from the Friday, October 25th release of the Texas-based indie-rock veteran’s new full-length album under his celebrated Mountain Time moniker.
“The song alludes to a very real sense of the actual horrors of war, but, as the song’s protagonist exemplifies: for most of us in the world — no matter how compassionate or empathetic we may be — these horrors only ever take place in our imaginations,” Simpson says of ‘War Kids’. “Equally important to the song’s message is a contemplation of the sorts of wars we all fight — and often lose — throughout our lives, specifically the struggle to maintain our childlike wonder, openness and vulnerability in the face of the world, and what/who we perceive as the other, when everything we are taught is to isolate and protect ourselves at all costs.”
