Rise Against have shared a new acoustic version of the title track from their recent album ‘Nowhere Generation’. The new version of the song is a stripped back take of the punchy original and features vocals by Meg Myers. Check it out below.
“When we released the acoustic version of ‘Nowhere Generation’, we found that it really connected with a lot of people,” says Tim McIlrath of Rise Against. “We heard from a lot of unique and beautiful voices, and we knew that we needed to add another beautiful, unique voice to this song. Meg was the perfect choice and we are thrilled with how it all turned out.”
Myers adds “When Rise Against asked me to sing on ‘Nowhere Generation,’ I felt an instant connection to the song. There is a power and a purity about this song that is so healing and unifying. It’s the voice of a younger generation who feels unheard. I feel it is so important right now for our consciousness evolution, and for society to take a look around and ask ourselves, ‘who are we, what are we doing here, where are we going and why?’”
