Mark Newman - At The Border
Mark Newman is an acclaimed singer/songwriter from New York. Performing both as a sideman and fronting his own projects, Newman has traveled around the world, sharing both his music and beliefs with a global audience. Today we are excited to share our thoughts on Mark Newman’s powerful single, “At The Border”!
“At The Border” comes in at nearly six minutes in length and effortlessly holds your attention throughout. This song is one with an important message, recognizing the global refugee crisis; originally inspired by the Ukraine War, the meaning grew to encompass tragedies throughout the world - and history. Newman’s lyrics and vocals are stirring, sharing his message in an easily digestible yet deeply emotive way. The instrumental is equally powerful, combining with Newman’s vocal performance to make this the kind of song that will make you feel what Newman was feeling while creating this song.
Newman is no stranger to writing songs about tough, important topics, with “Tulsa” being another standout song from this artist, remembering the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre. I feel like “At The Border” and “Tulsa” are splendid pieces that have an incredible amount of power and value.
“At The Border” really is a song you do not want to miss and I am glad Mark Newman shares his beliefs and desire for change through his music.
