Love's A Revolutionary Act — Steve Barton
Steve Barton's new single is out now, evocative and filled with truth and tension...
Steve on the new track:
"I was playing around with the riff that runs through the song and the words ‘love’s a revolutionary act’ popped out. Using that as the chorus, I wrote the verses. Lyrically, it is more existential than political - but it sits in both arenas. I play everything on this one. With the mean-spirited rhetoric, threats to democracy, violence and chaos everywhere - with people feeling tense and nervous, unsettled, but somehow finding hope at the same time - love is truly a revolutionary act. The timing of the release? - it is coming on November 1st 2024, prior to the US election. I think that says it all! The photo was taken by me. It was San Francisco. The lady is Janene - now my wife! We’ve been together ever since. I love the visual aspect of the photo. The position of her hands, and her sleeping face. Is she dreaming? It's a mystery!" — Steve Barton
This single is drawn from the forthcoming album Juggling Lightning: The Singles Collection, expected late January 2025.
