My Morning Jacket’s Jim James has shared a second song off his forthcoming protest album Eternally Even. “Here in Spirit” was written in the wake of the Orlando shootings:
I was feeling so utterly gutted that things like this keep happening. It’s a song about speaking out and trying to be there for people in spirit even if you can’t be at every rally and battle. We have such a duty to speak out for equality and for each other. I will always lend my voice to whatever the civil rights issue is of the day, to whomever needs the most help and love.
You can listen to “Here in Spirit” and first single “Same Old Lie” below.
Eternally Even is out November 4 via ATO. Jim’s tour with Twin Limb hits NYC’s Terminal 5 on November 20. Tickets are still available
