With a voice capable of commanding your heart, body, and soul into standing to attention, Jack Orlove’s hymnal triumph, Why We Fight?, delivers a sermon for peace that seduces the doors of perception wide open.
Featuring the Santa Cruz Chapel Choir, this introspectively transcendent anthem strips away any sense of reservation, replacing it with the sheer mesmerism of Orlove’s gruff-in-all-the-right-places, euphonic-in-the-rest vocal register. If anyone can challenge Hozier’s reign, it’s Orlove, whose tour de force transforms a plea for unity into gospel that transcends mere lyricism.
Born out of the uncertainty and brutality of modern times, Why We Fight? is a call to arms for pacifism, set against the stark reminder that for all our innovations, we are still plagued by the primal carnage of war.
The accompanying music video echoes these themes, offering a sobering reflection on how leadership and decisions can lead us astray from what truly matters. Orlove challenges us to choose love, peace, and understanding over division and struggle. With Why We Fight?, he stands poised at the vanguard of a revolution for unity.
