You’ve seen the new trailer for Andor: A Star Wars Story, poured over the images and started hypothesising about the things we’ve just seen, but….that trailer features a striking soundtrack, a very pertinent song called The Revolution Starts Now by Steve Earle, best known for his 1988 hit Copperhead Road, and you can listen to it in its entirety here and chew over those lyrics.
The Revolution Starts Now
[Verse 1]
I was walking down the street
In the town where I was born
I was moving to a beat
That I’d never felt before
So I opened up my eyes
And I took a look around
I saw it written across the sky
The revolution starts now[Refrain]
Yeah, the revolution starts now[Verse 2]
The revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear
And tear the walls around you down
The revolution starts here
Where you work and where you play
Where you lay your money down
What you do and what you say
The revolution starts now[Chorus]
Yeah, the revolution starts now
Yeah, the revolution starts now
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
What you doing standing around?
Just follow your heart
The revolution starts now[Verse 3]
Last night I had a dream
That the world had turned around
All our hopes had come to be
And the people gathered around
They all brought what they could bring
And nobody went without
And I learned a song to sing
The revolution starts now[Chorus]
Yeah, the revolution starts now
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
So what you doing standing around?
Just follow your heart
The revolution starts now
Yeah, the revolution starts now
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
What you doing standing around?
Just follow your heart
