Bob Vylan have released a video for their new single Health Is Wealth, taken from their forthcoming album Bob Vylan Presents The Price Of Life which is set for release on 22nd April 2022 via their own label, Ghost Theatre.
Discussing the meaning behind their latest single, the band say: “It’s becoming harder and harder for people to eat… Full stop. But it’s even harder to eat healthy and look after ones 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.”
The video for the track was directed by Bobby Vylan and edited by @leonxwavey. Speaking about it the band comments: “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.”.
