“The revolutionary leader said, we’ll meet in secret
Our names will be code, so that no one will know
With a new ‘nom de guerre’ and the smell of your hair
Falling in love as the smoke filled the air
I said I will be George Orwell,
You said you can call me Mandalay”

‘Mandalay’, the new single from Patrick Burgess is OUT NOW!

‘Mandalay’ tells the story of two student activists who fall in love in the intoxicating atmosphere of the ongoing fight for freedom in Burma (Myanmar.) They are arrested and imprisoned for their beliefs but hold on to the memories of their love and their promise to meet up again… in Mandalay.  Finally, the singer is released from prison. Will he be reunited with his beautiful lover in her white dress? You will have to listen to the song or watch the video, including footage shot inside Burma, to find out.

Background: In 2021 the Burmese military junta forcibly removed the democratically elected government in Myanmar, replacing it with a regime that imprisons anyone who advocates for freedom and democracy. The vast majority of Burmese people continue their resistance to the brutal regime, courageously standing up to reject their oppressors despite great risks.

This is a photo of my close friend Ko Chit.

As a young university student in Yangon (Rangoon) Ko Chit attended two demonstrations where the students demanded an end to military rule and a return to democracy. He was arrested by the military dictatorship and sentenced to 31 years in prison just for attending the demonstrations and handing out pamphlets. After surviving horrific treatment and conditions for almost 14 years Ko Chit was released when Myanmar began its decade of ‘semi democracy’ in 2011, before the military brutally took over again in 2021. I am honoured to have Ko Chit playing guitar and singing backing vocals on “Mandalay.”
