His old success British singer and songwriter Tom Odell (Tom Odell) with Title “Another Love” re-enters the UK charts and peaks at number 17 in the UK, gaining popularity from TikTok.
The 2013 song started to become popular again when several protest videos about the situation in Iran used a clip of it. In particular, a short clip filmed at a Tom Odell concert was isolated and used, in which the crowd can be heard singing the lyrics: “And if someone hurts you, I wanna fight/ But my arms have been broken too many times/ So I’ll use my voice, I’ll be so*** rude/ Words always win, but I know I’ll lose“.
The women in Iran in recent days they have been using the clip to audio-dress their protest videos in response to the death of 22-year-old Mahsha Amini, who was arrested for not wearing her hijab (headscarf) properly and her hair showing.
The 22-year-old died while in custody, with police denying ill-treatment and claiming she died of a heart attack. Mahsha Amini’s family disputes this and her death has sparked daily protests in Iran that have killed more than 40 people.
Commenting on videos of the protests, Tom Odell, who is in the middle of a major European tour, said: “I am shocked by the events taking place in Iran. I send my love and thoughts to these incredibly brave people who stand up for human rights and stand up for women.” “Everyone should have the choice of what to wear or what not to wear,” he added.
The singer also dedicated “Another Love” to the protesters during his concert in Germany: “Tonight I want to dedicate it to the brave people protesting in Iran.”
“Another Love” has become the background music mainly in videos, in which women in Iran cut their hair in solidarity with Amini.
