New Model Army - Ballad Of Bodmin Pill

[@cartoonvandal]

Sigh... back when I thought youth would last forever. This song is sad and joyous and the same time. Memories and feelings , just indescribable .

[@simonwilson8602]

Some of us never let go of this...me included....anger keeps us driven....xx

[@lefty5221]

This song and band still floor me almost 30 years later... although it's sad that they never received the accolades and respect that they deserved, the rest of the music listening world doesnt really deserve THEM

bullshit band thats why !

Kate - A huge part of my life. and yrs too I'm guessing.

no other art work in any field has produced such great feelings as New Model Army is doing since I discovered them in '87, thanks God for this great band !

[@patrictraut1636]

Another incredible NMA song. Justin Sullivan is a truly gifted songwriter who has produced so many masterpieces!

[@patkelly3966]

Never a truer word spoken my Metal lovin' namesake!!

[@waywardanarchist]

..years might pass but still one of my favourate songs ever...every time i play it i get reminded just how special this song is...

[@gregbooth9680]

Words can't describe how superb this album is.

[@MatthewTaylor-rf1hp]

Artistically, I can't comment. As in, i can't play an instrument. Nor can I sing.

[@MatthewTaylor-rf1hp]

Personally. They have been part of my life since I was 13 yrs old. Talk about family.

[@footshotstube]

thanks MrRetisas Damm this brings up some memories !! i discovered NMA when i left the army and landed in harrogate bedsit land ,, and the songs were a kinda therapy for me

[@cartoonvandal]

Sigh - memories. Youth and racing, thrilling excitement. Some bands, some music reaches right inside you, understands you and yet changes who you are :)

[@meervi77]

Back in the days of record stores you could mention New Model Army and in the store you see a head or two slowly turn. A hidden fraternity..

[@dirkrichter293]

Yes yes it s so Great these bass line...perfect Songs

[@phredkat7799]

Wow, I just found a favorite from 30+ years ago. Sounds just as awesome now in '21 as in the 80's. The KZbin time machine works again :)

[@jmuk9165]

[@NICKYG2X3.]

i dont no why i havent made a conscious effort to go see the band live. 35 now im still a pup. see you in 2020 what a fantastic band

[@thechri5357]

Playing in London in December. Your chance!!! 👍🤘🤘🤘See you there. Greetings from Vienna

[@sandibeers9280]

Go.. You won't regret it

[@abdallateefschannel6206]

I saw them couple a times 86-87. Proper crazy when they had a posse of wooden clog wearing nutters followed them every gig. Seen them half dozen times 2006-2015, shadow of those earlier days. Its part of a whole twisted masonic social program to tame popular culture

[@ttyyrrdd]

Their sound has changed, I really love some of the recent albums, and I can guarantee you won't regret seeing them live. They were the last band I saw 3 days in a row the week before lockdown. The world could have ended. Brutal concerts

[@Simian-bz7zo]

@@thechri5357 Just booked my tickets. Never got to see them the first time around, looking forward to travelling down from the valleys of green and grey (AKA Lancashire) to finally see them live.

[@rogerkay8603]

Love NMA, hard to have a "favourite" album but if pushed would be this one, saw them live in 1989 at Portmouth Guildhall, happy days! "as the spotlight turns towards me...."

[@veronikapohl3523]

I ' ll never stop to love their songs, all, what a wonder of the World, thank you NMA !

2:16 is stuck in my head for whatever reason. one of the best examples of a great guitar solo being possible with one note

[@LucianoCouras]

Lyric: "Smash glass against the wall Curse the music on the radio that the neighbours play. Door slams, she turns her head Watches through the window as he pulls away Funny how your racing brain drives you so mad When all the while you feel so numb Too old to be clean far too young to be broken Like an army we come Cut back, left behind I watched you self-destructing oh so many times Shot down, once again Sitting in a chair crying what am I going to do with my life? Just learn to hide the way that you really feel Never let them know that you're scared But understand that you're not the special only one Watch us now, watch us real close How we all dance with this fire 'cause it's all that we know And as the spotlight turns toward us, we all try our best to show We are lost we are freaks, we are crippled, we are weak We are the heirs, we are the true heirs, to all the world Let's go build a fire down on the empty beach when the waves are crashing high White heat purify, as the sparks fly up into the great black sky Sacrifice these crutches to the crackling flames Stand as silhouettes against the dawn It's far too late to try to sleep now, seems I'm never tired any more I want to dance with this fire 'cause it's all that I know We are lost we are freaks And we try our best to show I am lost I'm a freak ha ha." In Portuguese: Letras "Quebre o vidro contra a parede Amaldiçoe a música do rádio que os vizinhos tocam. A porta bate, ela vira a cabeça Observa pela janela enquanto ele se afasta Engraçado como seu cérebro acelerado te deixa tão louco Quando o tempo todo você se sente tão entorpecido Velho demais para ser limpo, jovem demais para ser quebrado Como um exército chegamos Cortar, deixado para trás Eu assisti você se autodestruindo tantas vezes Abatido, mais uma vez Sentado em uma cadeira chorando o que vou fazer da minha vida? Apenas aprenda a esconder o que você realmente sente Nunca deixe eles saberem que você está com medo Mas entenda que você não é o único especial Observe-nos agora, observe-nos bem de perto Como todos nós dançamos com esse fogo porque é tudo o que sabemos E à medida que os holofotes se voltam para nós, todos nós tentamos o nosso melhor para mostrar Estamos perdidos, somos malucos, somos aleijados, somos fracos Somos os herdeiros, somos os verdadeiros herdeiros, de todo o mundo Vamos acender uma fogueira na praia vazia quando as ondas estão quebrando alto O calor branco purifica, enquanto as faíscas voam para o grande céu negro Sacrifique essas muletas às chamas crepitantes Fiquem como silhuetas contra o amanhecer É tarde demais para tentar dormir agora, parece que nunca mais estou cansado Eu quero dançar com esse fogo porque é tudo que eu sei Estamos perdidos, somos malucos E tentamos o nosso melhor para mostrar eu estou perdido Eu sou uma aberração ha ha."

[@zetetick395]

Not thought about this band since like 1988, they just popped into my amnesiac-y skull Mind boggling that they're STILL making albums!! '@.@'

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Love this whole album and this is one of many great tracks

[@seasider15]

The last great NMA album. Fond memories. A great Family. X

[@patkelly3966]

Not by a long shot. Despite some hiccups they have released several great albums since this one. you just have to open yr mind a bit as well as yr ears :-)

[@abdallateefschannel6206]

Subjectivness aside, this was their folky/ polished era. Vengeanc was where they began. High their metal phase. And now hes mellowed into an old punk rocker poet. The only dodgy one perhaps was eight. Love to the Family!

[@Albrecht777]

Not true. "Between Dog and Wolf" tops... well, probably anything that they've done, in my opinion. For me, it's closely followed by "Vengeance" and this.

"Fist slams against the wall, Curse the music that the neighbours play..." The neighbours were Polish, and invited me in and shared food, (and Polish Vodka) So, sometimes, it works.

Mcgonagles Dublin, anyone remember when they played think it was 1989, club long since gone....

[@dillanma]

Was at that McGonagles gig.Working on a ship arriving late in Dublin.Taxi booked by pilot(bless him)Ashore with the first rope in orange boiler suit and clogs(working gear)Missed the first 3 songs,probably looked a prat,but made the gig.Still going to see them.Best band ever

I only recently learned that Robert wrote and played bass on this. Apparently Moose just couldn't get it.

[@TheBenzer9]

Great band :)

[@Novadrome]

The song that started it all for me and NMA. A Life Muse gave me the cassette in high school, saying this song in particular reminded her of me, right down to Justin's chuckle at the end. I didn't feel that way then, but I loved the album, and the track ended up being incredibly prophetic as the following years unfolded. They are incredible.
