New World - The Irrepressibles

NEW WORLD is taken from The Irrepressibles 2nd album NUDE released 2012.

New World the music video tells the story of a boy who discovers his nature through the realisation of his unconventional love for his friend. His feelings of desire so strong he can't help but show them. But his closest friend seemingly doesn't feel the same and instead retaliates by publicly outing him to other boys who viciously physically and mentally bullying him. Eventually the the boy gives up. He decides to take his own life. He writes a note to his parents and walks out into the night eventually reaching the bridge over the lake. He jumps in and begins to drown. But the ghosts of other boys and men who have done the same over decades at the same lake awake. They decide that enough is enough and that he will not die. In the boys unconsciousness the object of his desire comes to save him and breathes air back into his lungs as the ghosts push him up and out of the water. He dances in a field as the sun rises on a new day as if dancing in a club as he finds acceptance with himself . He is at one with himself and his nature. He dances as a beautiful homosexual man.

No it's acting in the video, don't worry, but sadly this bullying happened to both the lead actor and the singer of The Irrepressibles as a child. X

so many voices are not heard....so many are hurt for being who they are...this is an example of this...sad but beautiful. The song is amazing Jamie

There was a comment from a 68 year old man of four years ago I was trying to reply to, but I got disconnected and could not find after. He said that why am I still listening to this at 68 and still loving it…or something close that. My reply to him was this:

Beautiful things in life never really die. We learn how to love by looking at it. We die by hearing the sounds they have left in our hearts and minds😌❤️

Beautiful, Poetic, Poignant, Cathartic, The perfect marriage of music & visuals.

And Theo is perfection....my heart is in my mouth.

Jamie, you make the most beautiful and haunting music I've ever heard x

[paulbooth]

Only heard this for the first time today. Totally blown away. One of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. And as a gay man it really hits home.

I clicked the like button and I had only listened to 48 seconds of the song. What an amazingly powerful and touching song.

Thank God for SYTYCD, and how they bring music like this to the attention of a wider audience. LOVE this.

Wow, I didn't thing the Irrepressibles could top In This Shirt or Forget the Past, but they definitely did. The song alone makes me cry but when I watched it with the video I was literally sobbing uncontrollably. This is so good!

[SteveVanHerreweghe]

Make love, not war. We are all different in that we all are alike. This is pure music if you listen with your heart instead of your mind :-)

[jypetersen]

I can’t stop hearing this song, it’s kinda peaceful.

[loganvorrias]

Listening this in July of 2020💓 this song gives me nostalgia for some reason and hits me to the core. It awaken feelings I have suppressed for so long that I forgot I have them.

The espiritual journey of falling in darkness and then reborn as a new self. Just like a caterpillar transform itself into a butterfly. That's something we all have to deal with in more or less degree. This video is awesome! I feel deeply identied with it.

[Dreamcastle]
