"Believe in the magic of a young girl's soul; Believe in the magic of rock and roll; Believe in the magic that can set you free..."

Whether I'm Wrong
Words & Music by Allison Crowe

Don't want to raise my head
The world is covered in rage
Voices calling out in anger
Entering erratically into another age

Shadow puppets on the wall
I don't know who to believe
In the darkness standing tall
With a smile upon your face

And I have a right, to
Have a voice, have a say

Whether I'm wrong, or whether I'm right
It doesn't really matter anymore
You've put up a wall
You've put up a fight
And now it seems we've forgotten
What all that was for

Whether you don't want to
Or whether you can't see
What is right in front of your face
Time is running out
And we're already losing ground
With the human race

I don't want to raise my hand
I don't know why I'm scared to say
Feel like I want to call out
Feel like I want to run away

And I don't know why anyone
Should have to suffer anymore
Well, I don't know a whole lot of anything
But I do wonder what all of this is for

And you have a right, too
To have a voice, have a say

Whether I'm wrong
Or whether I'm right
It doesn't really matter anymore
I've put up a wall
You've put up a fight
And now it seems we've forgotten
What all of that was for

Whether you don't want to
Or whether you can't see
What is right in front of your face
Time is running out
And we're already losing ground
With the human race

Singer-songwriter+ Allison Crowe’s “Crayon and Ink”, an exhilarating venture in the slipstream of consciousness, paired with a visual excerpt from “Destino” – a collaboration launched last century by surrealist Salvador Dali and motion picture + animation pioneer Walt Disney. (This film’s rediscovered in the years since Allison’s creative mash-up.)

This version of “Crayon and Ink”, released on her debut collection, “6 Songs”, features Allison Crowe’s voice and piano, with Dave Baird on bass, and Kevin Clevette, percussion.

The song’s captured live-off-the-floor in Summer 2001 – by Engineer/Producer Larry Anschell at Turtle Recording Studios in White Rock, BC, Canada as the band’s en route to Seattle, WA, USA for the Worldwide (Pearl) Jammer Convergence: https://allisoncrowe.bandcamp.com/track/crayon-and-ink

The Monarch butterflies’ migration, the Cliff swallows’ return to Capistrano… such marvels date and delight our own calendars.

“I Don’t Know” – the personal and universal expressed in song by Allison Crowe.

Music captured live by Audio Archivist John MacMillan on Canada’s Denman Island, BC. Then, in “post” as it were, film composer/scorer Kayla Schmah contributes string arrangement and production in Hollywood, USA.

First released on Allison’s album “Spiral” – https://allisoncrowe.bandcamp.com/track/i-dont-know – in this creative mashup we encounter as well the original cinematic interpretation of Gaston Leroux’s gothic novel, “The Phantom of the Opera” – visuals from the unrestored version of the 1925 film – now in the public domain – featuring Lon Chaney as ‘The Phantom’.

Superman’s returned to our cinematic galaxy 10 years ago from Krypton and beyond!

Lifted up, up and away along with all on this epic journey, musician/actor+ Allison Crowe flew from Newfoundland to film her scene in British Columbia’s historic (now legendary) Cassidy Inn.

At that time, “Man of Steel” Clark Kent – embodied by Henry Cavill – is bussing tables in the Cassidy, just minutes down the road from where Allison’s born.

Herein, Hollywood film director/auteur+ Zack Snyder tells this origin story + a bonus behind-the-scenes look at bar-room antagonist “Ludlow” – in the form of actor Ian Tracey – getting his “comeuppance”:

We celebrate the 10^th anniversary of Superman’s cinematic relaunch via “Man of Steel”, much-loved blockbuster in the Snyderverse, with this musical justice league: Allison Crowe – vocals, piano, engineer, producer; Del Crowe – guitar; Dave Baird – bass; & Laurent Boucher –  percussion.



Superman – Clark Kent, a joint creation of great friends, Toronto, Canada-born illustrator Joe Shuster and American writer Jerry Siegel (born in Cleveland, Ohio), entered our public universe in 1938 – via Action Comics #1.

The mythic character, able to leap a tall building in a single bound, first took flight in fabulous,1940s cartoons made by brothers Max Fleischer, animator and director, and Dave Fleischer, producer.

The brothers' Fleischer Studios produced nine Superman classics - animated shorts - in 1941- 42. (Over the following couple of years, also for Paramount Pictures, another eight episodes were made for – these by Famous Studios. All 17 Superman cartoons are now in the public domain.)

For this mash-up Allison Crowe's "There Is" provides the soundtrack to an excerpt from "The Mechanical Monsters" (one of the earliest of Superman's animated adventures - released November 28, 1941).

The Man of Steel mythos brightens our world still today. Brought to life on the big screen as a science fiction spectacular in Summer 2013, Krypton and the Earth of Clark Kent, Lois Lane, Perry White and all denizens includes musician Allison Crowe - as the "Singer in Cassidy's", a road-house in the great North woods where Henry Cavill as Clark is employed before taking on the mantle of Superman.

The Cassidy Inn’s an actual, historic, bar/hotel on a stretch of highway on Vancouver Island, Canada about 10 minutes drive south of where Allison was born. Originally, and for decades, it was home to miners in this coal-rich area. More recently it became a rough-and-ready “biker bar” before Hollywood set the scene with its epic, modern, production (brought to you by DC Entertainment, Syncopy Films, Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros.) The Cassidy mysteriously went down, down, down, in a ring of fire – and today remains home to celluloid heroes.

For Allison, this opportunity to work with Director Zack Snyder, Producer Deborah Snyder and the entire, truly stellar, production+ team, cast and crew of "Man of Steel" proved more amazing and fun than imaginable. It forever rocks our daily planet.
