"Hell's where I was born, Hell's where I was raised, this Hell is where I’m from and this Hell is where I’ll stay...’ is the essence of the song. There's something
very empowering about the realization and recognition of where you are in life.
Even in the darkest of times. It's human nature to adapt and overcome or at
least find comfort on some level. Isolation is just that. Uncomfortable. But
considering the alternative isolation becomes a womb or safe place. I lived
that existence and music got me through those dark times.
It saved my life...No
matter how cold and lonely it felt, there was a voice speaking to me and that
voice was music. When I listened to music, I interpreted the artists’ message
however I deemed it applicable to my life and surroundings, which Is why I
write lyrics that are open-ended. I think the mantra of this song is no matter
how alone you may feel, you’re not alone. But it's up to you to speak out and
expose your situation. If you let people know and let them in, you’re not
alone." - Chad Gray of HELLYEAH The Campaign...
Raise your VOICE and STAND UP against domestic violence...
To coincide with the release of the single + video for "HUSH," HELLYEAH is launching this campaign to support NO MORE + A CALL TO MEN and raise awareness about the need to educate to prevent domestic violence. The idea is simple...
- Our goal is to raise $10,000.
- A Limited Edition HELLYEAH x NOMORE "HUSH" T-Shirt designed by the band is available EXCLUSIVELY for this campaign.
- 100% of the profits from this campaign will go directly to A CALL TO MEN and support their efforts to put an end to domestic violence.
The Statistics tell the story...
- More than 3 million children witness domestic violence in their homes every year.
- Children who live in homes where there is domestic violence also suffer abuse or neglect at high rates (30% to 60%).
- Children exposed to domestic violence at home are more likely to have health problems, including becoming sick more often, having frequent headaches or stomachaches, and being more tired and lethargic.
- Children are more likely to intervene when they witness severe violence against a parent – which can place a child at great risk for injury or even death.
