“Hallelujah (So Low)” is from the Editors upcoming sixth studio album, Violence. With both the song and the album, the English rock band was heavily influenced by the current political climate. Concerning “Hallelujah (So Low)” specifically, lead vocalist Tom Smith made the following statement in a Billboard interview: “I wrote the words to “Hallelujah (So Low)” when I got back from a trip with Oxfam, visiting refugee camps in Northern Greece. It was obviously an incredibly moving trip, seeing people living in dust, surviving only on the help of others was very moving.”
