about

“Crush The Fear” is a gut reaction to Donald Trump’s unexpected win in the U.S. presidential election. The song is a call-to-arms to not accept the “new normal” of fear and division. Politics has always included backroom deals, corruption, and abuse of power but Trump’s presidency has dragged the whole world into uncharted - and dangerous - territory.

The last line of the song. left hanging, gives the marching orders: “It’s not a time to be silent”. By writing, recording, and releasing “Crush The Fear”, John Pippus and David Puzak have joined the informal network of songwriters who have lent their talents to calling out Donald Trump and all he represents. It’s not a time to be silent.

“Crush The Fear” is the fourth release from the writing and performing team of John Pippus and David Puzak who call their project THE SARNIA BOYS, Based in Vancouver and Toronto, respectively, the duo meet up occasionally for writing and recording sessions. They have also played a few dates in Ontario, as a duo and with a backing band in 2016, touring as The Sarnia Boys. See: www.sarniaboys.com

lyrics

Can’t believe it happened
Can’t believe he’s here
Self important dummkopf
Stoking all our fears

Silent conversations
Tension in the air
Can’t trust the president
Bad omens everywhere

It’s getting heavy… crush the fear
It’s getting real now… crush the fear

History is written
Bad guys sometimes win
When they game the system
Gotta take them from within

Gonna fight with humour
Gonna fight with truth
We gotta pull together
Until our voice is heard

It’s getting heavy… crush the fear
It’s getting weirder… crush the fear

It seems so clear now
We’re walking on a ledge
And if we fall
We just might end up dead

If you don’t agree
iI he really is your man
Are you gonna wear it
When the shit hits the fan

Crush the fear
It’s getting real now… crush the fear

we’re in a bind its not a time to be silent
the flame of hope is out we’re gonna have to relight it
we wanna end the hate so we have to confront it
can you understand that they want to divide us

it’s not a time to be silent
it’s not a time to be silent

John Pippus Vancouver

"Reminiscent and harkening in spirit, in some ways, to Neil Young’s classic “Harvest,” Pippus and friends have made something much richer in tone and certainly more fitting for 2022.”
