Written by The second single entitled “Crushed” from Fray-Chek’s new album, “No More Shadows”, was written as a response to the opioid crisis currently facing the United States, and the world. After reading about the tragic accidental overdose of 2 teenagers in the span of a week, Fray-Chek felt compelled to write a song that tries to capture the struggle with addiction (in all its forms). Ultimately, the song is meant to be hopeful, with a haunting and somber intro… leading to a guitar solo that crescendos at its inspired ending. Although we all may feel “crushed” at some point in our lives, there is beauty in the world that can uplift us and inspire. The video depicts a person in the desert, depressed and searching for answers. That person is lost, sad and confused. However, their mood is broken by the simplest of things… a butterfly that happens to fly past. Perhaps, that one little beautiful moment can be enough to inspire hope. Such is life.
