Bob Vylan have released an important new single, Health Is Wealth
Watch the video for Bob Vylan’s new single Health Is Wealth, which, as the title suggests, is about how “it’s even harder to eat healthy and look after one’s mind, body and spirit when the price of food is going up”.
Ahead of the release of their upcoming album Bob Vylan Presents The Price Of Life in April, Bob Vylan have shared another incredibly important new single: Health Is Wealth.
As the name suggests, the duo's latest effort is about how, "It’s becoming harder and harder for people to eat… Full stop. But it’s even harder to eat healthy and look after one's mind, body and spirit when the price of food is going up, the cost of living is going up but the wages stay the same! We want to encourage people to eat and live as healthy as they possibly can and remind people that when living with a government that is poisoning you with the food that is affordable, lack of investment in the mental health sector and is actively killing the planet with their agricultural and environmental practices, eating healthy and looking after yourself both mentally and physically is an act of revolution."
Of the accompanying video, Bob Vylan continue: "There's no glitz and glamour because it isn't needed. There's a message here that we're passionate about, especially at the moment. We wanted the video to be candid so we got our friend Leon to come join us as we went about a day performing some of the activities and training that we do. The main point is the message and we didn't want to distract from that message with the video so we thought, 'Well, what does the song talk about?' It talks about fruit, veg, juices, lentils, chickpeas, activities, reading and a general healthy lifestyle etc, let's show exactly that in a raw manner and let people digest the message.'"
