An Ordinary life is the third album by Long Earth. It addresses life as a three act play. Most of us experience the same things – growing up, leaving home, finding a place in society, finding a home. We form friendships, fall in and out of love, start a families. We encounter good times, bad times and face up to heartbreak and inevitably death.
And taxes! We all have hopes and we dare to dream. We endure political uncertainty & upheaval, manipulated by those we elect to serve us. We all witness war, whether at close quarters or vicariously via the media, because there is always a war somewhere. These themes are explored across 65mins of melodic prog rock, releases July 5, 2024
