Filmed on The Front Lines in Ukraine - Imagine Dragons - Crushed (Official Video)

 

Imagine Dragons' video for Crushed was filmed on the front lines of Ukraine. It follows Sasha, a young boy who endured months of shelling in his town.

Sasha's story is heartbreaking, and there are thousands more like him who desperately need help.

Even today, his family is without electricity and other basic utilities. Please consider donating to United24 and raising your voice for this cause.

Lyrics:

I suppose she’s supposed to be exactly what they want her to be

So pretty in pink

Necklace and ring, don’t be heard

Just be seen

But that’s not who I am

She said I can feel, I can feel too much

And I wish they’d go away, go away

Cause it’s crushing me

It’s crushing me

Don’t you know that you don’t have a say and the scarlet “A” on

Your neck so pretty in red, eyes are all dead

What they haven’t said gets stuck in your head

The silence is deafening and your heart is bleeding out

But they don’t care, no they never cared at all

They never cared at all

That’s not who I am

She said I can feel, I can feel too much

And I wish they’d go away, go away

Cause its crushing me

It’s crushing me

It’s crushing me

It’s crushing me

She just wants to be free, take it or leave it

Eyes like the sunrise

Colorful rainbow

She said I can feel, I can feel too much

And I wish it’d go away, go away

Cause they’re crushing me

They’re crushing me

(I can feel, I can feel too much

They’re crushing me

I can feel, I can feel too much

Oh they’re crushing me)

Crushing me

Crash down on me

Crash down on me

One year ago on Feb 24, 2022 - Russia launched its full scale genocide in Ukraine and 9 years ago this week Russia began its operation to illegally annex Crimea.

My painting "Home Guard (112th Territorial Defense Brigade - Kyiv, Ukraine)" is an homage to the brave Ukrainians fighting against an immoral and illegal invasion by Putin's Russia. I remember as a young boy when my father left for war as a US Marine. I can see in the faces of the kids and partners in Ukraine the same mix of fear and pride I felt as my dad told me that he was leaving home to fight for freedom. Ukrainians live in a democratic society that values diversity and opportunity for all. Many couples have decided to fight together against Putin's invasion. Putin wants to crush Ukraine. But he will never prevail against these brave heroes protecting their homeland.

In 2015 at the Venice Biennale, MarySue and I took part in an art performance called "On Vacation" protesting Russia's invasion of Crimea. See - Images 2 and 3.

Half of my proceeds for this painting will be donated to World Central Kitchen's efforts in Ukraine to provide food and sustenance to those fighting for their freedom. As Chef Jose Andres says,"Wherever there is a fight so that hungry people may eat, we will be there."
