"Scared" Not ~ November 15
In light of our
news (media reports) being full of violence
against women, one of the web’s original
music bloggers,
Muruch, tweets: “I was just
thinking about lack of anti-violence songs
& wanting @Allison_Crowe to record one. I'd
forgotten
she already did. :)”
Among her passionate expressions of life’s
dimensions, Allison’s extraordinarily
diverse song catalogue speaks to themes of
abusive relationships, self-harm, suicide,
societal pressures, and more...
Muruch specifically highlights a song that
addresses a culture of abuse, shame and
silence - “Scared”:

In the video embedded by Muruch, Allison
and bandmates Dave Baird, bass, and Kevin
Clevette, drums, are seen in various
locations on Vancouver Island, Canada – in
Nanaimo and Victoria. The video-makers,
Angela Kendall and Brian Dutkewich, would
later make popular videos for a Canadian
duo, Tegan and Sara. (For trivia buffs: in
this vid, Allison’s father, Del Crowe,
happens to drive by at one point, and,
Allison’s longtime manager, Adrian du
Plessis, is also caught, serendipitously,
walking by as he waves to Del.) The song's
audio is recorded by Larry Anschell of
Turtle Studios, and features 19-year-old
Allison Crowe and band.
