Across the albums 22 tracks, Songs For A Nervous Planet highlights the bands transcendent live performances as they journey through The Tipping Point Tour setlist and beyond. Along with the live recordings, the album features four new studio tracks: “Say Goodbye To Mum And Dad,” “Emily Said,” “Astronaut,” and just-released single “The Girl That I Call Home.” These new songs expand on the career-spanning setlist, covering love, isolation, mental health, and escapism.
On the new track, Roland Orzabal recalls, “My wife Emily has been on at me for years to try and write her a love song. So eventually I did it. I was in Hawaii, I took my phone with me and every day I would sing over the backing track, many, many times. But I couldn’t for the life of me, think of a title. Then one night, I went to bed and I did that thing where we ask the universe, ‘please gimme a hand, gimme, a really good title.’ I woke up the next morning with ‘The Girl That I Call Home.’ And my wife loves it.”
