"Glory" is a song by English indie pop band Bastille. It was released on 5 June 2017 as the fourth and final single from their second studio album, Wild World (2016).[1] The song was written by Dan Smith, who handled the production along with Mark Crew.
Background
[edit]In an interview with NME, Dan Smith said, "The song is about friendship and those woozy middle-of-the-night chats that drunkenly seem so important at the time. It's my favourite track on "Wild World", and we wanted the video to be a celebration of storytelling, relationships, and how two people can remember things completely differently."[2]
Music video
[edit]A music video to accompany the release of "Glory" was first released onto YouTube on 5 June 2017 at a total length of five minutes.[3] The video was filmed in Dallas during the band's US tour and sees Dan Smith on an epic road trip. According to a press release, the band "attempts to make sense of a post truth era" in the video.[2]
