The World Over
One of the greatest gifts music gives to us all is a creative outlet to express our most vulnerable emotions, it is what moves arenas, theatres, and underground clubs of people all over the world. It unites songwriters from all walks of life under a shared emotion. In the dynamic song, “Rewind/Replay” by the band The World Over, Tiaday Ball, granddaughter to our very own Ernie Ball, recounts the lyrics with Alternative Press.
“I wrote the lyrics to this song shortly after my father passed away in 2015 as an outlet for the roller coaster of emotions I was experiencing from losing him so abruptly,” Ball says.
The band held on to the song till 2018 stating that it did not fit with their EP, Mountains and felt it deserved its own acknowledgment. The music video takes you on a journey looking through a family album conveying the universal bittersweet feeling of loss and remaining memories. The World Over is currently on the “Art Of Dissent” tour where they’ll be supporting Otep. Tickets are available here.
