"State Of The Union" is the debut single from British singer-songwriter David Ford. It had previously been featured as a demo on his official website, before appearing as a track on a CD entitled "Apology Demos EP," only on sale at live shows. The song was released as a single in the United Kingdom on 26 September 2005 on CD/7" formats through Independiente Records and preceded his debut album I Sincerely Apologise For All The Trouble I've Caused. The music video received numerous plaudits for its originality. It was recorded live-in-one-take, with David, using a looping machine, playing all 12 instruments used in the song. "State Of The Union" has been described as a "rant about lying politicians", and Ford himself has described it as "a song about greed and politics and war and power, where we've been and where we're going". It is a popular live track for Ford.
