about
Crazy Times is an urgent, doom synth pop, soulful blues explosion, iimploring folks to come together like fam(ily) because shit’s hitting the fan. Teper wrote this in response to our current apocalyptic climate, creating a call to unity through music and a visual genesis myth.

lyrics
Crazy Times, by Ronley Teper
Shit’s hitting the fan
Time to do something ‘bout it
Got to shout it out
Got to act out about it
‘Cause in these times,
such great divide
and there’s no hiding it
no doughts about it
it’s crazy times
Change is coming, whether you like it or not
So which side are you on?
Are you over there
trying to hold on to the past
divided in social class
hate and religious faith?
Or are you over here
figuring out whats best,
deconstructing the walls
to figure out what’s next?
Gotta come together
Gotta wave the stormy weather together
Gotta listen, gotta act
There’s no turning back
The Future is now
So let’s figure out how.
Shit’s hitting the fan
We gotta work like fam(ily)
In these crazy times
