The story behind the song

This song comes from George Ezra's debut album, "Wanted on Voyage." The music video for "Listen To The Man" features actor Sir Ian McKellen, who lip syncs the lyrics, a choice made because Ezra wanted to avoid singing in the video himself. It plays like a playful invitation to heed some wisdom, perhaps from an unexpected source.
