Spiritual Beggars Take a Little Time in New Video for “Turn the Tide”

Perhaps it’s a mark of my own nerd-dom, but I haven’t heard the phrase “turn the tide” since The Two Towers came out and not thought of Lord of the Rings. Actually, there’s no “perhaps” about it: It’s definitely a mark of my nerd-dom. In any case, a new clip has emerged from Swedish heavy rock forebears Spiritual Beggars — whose lineup has changed but whose mission of paying homage to the best of heavy ’70s classics while keeping a modern edge has remained steady lo these last 20 years — for the song “Turn the Tide,” and whatever my sci-fi/fantasy associations might be with the title, there’s very little about it that has to do with elfin magic.

If that sounds like a disappointment, it’s not. Aside from being a lesson in frantic editing and how to use psychedelic effects and bleeds to make performance footage look more exciting — why you’d watch this Spiritual Beggars clip on YouTube versus any other one, let’s say — it’s got that singer-walking-down-the-street-mouthing-the-lyrics thing going as well, and that’s always a good time.

Enjoy the clip below, followed by PR wire-style info and tour dates:
