Other Side of Town Anidroc Video Release.

Anidroc has released a new video for "Other Side of Town" from the LP 'My Prayer.' The lyrics are about the bridges that people break down. These bridges that man burns and the walls he builds separate people, ruin people's lives, makes us ignorant, intolerant, brutal, violent and their consequence is misery, hatred and war. It is intended as a message to those who are responsible for taking such decisions, the world and political leaders to think about the human suffering and the repercussions of their actions for present and future generations. Forced immigration, forced slavery, forced separation, the biggest enemy to making is ourkind.

The video is a cartoon, ragged and film grained, produced by Anidroc Film Productions to visualise the theme. The track was recorded at Anidroc Studios Szczecin Poland 2015 and will be the last track from the 'My Prayer' LP of that same year. Anidroc Studios have moved to the idyllic island of Malta where work on the new Anidroc Album is reaching its end.



ANIDROC - Mario Cordina
Jagoda Beltrani-Cordina
"My face is all over this video. I have always wanted to have a cartoon of myself." Mario Cordina, vocalist, guitarist, keyboardist and basically the heart of Anidroc, AMP Productions and Anidroc Film comments. "The reason why this video took so long to come out was that there was an idea to use people from different nationalities but it was a little too windblown and time and financial restraints held the production back. So we took a very different tangent and turned back to our animation workshop crew just as we had done for the 'So Much For Love' video. We just decided to try cartoons and figure a way of animating them and make them tell the grim story and message that fit this song so well. Apart from my face there is also the cartoon of Jagoda Beltrani Cordina, and other characters in traditional Asian, Arab and Indian Costume. We are all one people."


  





Other Side of Town
lyrics: Mario Cordina for ANIDROC

I hear, they're burning down bridges,
On the other side of town.
I guess they've got their reasons,
For burning the bridges down.
Yes, I guess they've got their reasons,
For cutting us off, the other side of town.

I guess I won't be able to get to work,
On the other side of town.
Giess I won't be able to see my friends,
On the other side of town.
Guess I won't be able to see her,
On the other side of town.
Maybe me and you is all over,
Me on one side,
You on the other side of town.

Shall I go down to the river,
See them burn the bridges down?
Maybe me and you is all over,
Me on one side,
You on the other side of town.
