Video Premiere: Craig Greenberg “Death On The Liberty Line”
Craig Greenberg has just released the second single from his album The Grand Loss & Legacy. “Death On The Liberty Line” reflects some of his concerns regarding the loss of personal liberties in the face of perceived threats. Greenberg tells Relix that the song, “ was inspired in the aftermath of the Boston bombing attacks that took place during the marathon of 2013. I had the thought at the time that it was not the occasional (and inevitable) terror attacks that we will endure as a nation that could ever bring us down, but government overreach and the clamping down on liberties (e.g. the Patriot Act passage after September 11) in response to them that could. I am more fearful of an internal fraying of our liberties than any external threat to them. The video portrays a range of recent issues that threaten American liberties – from as far back as the Patriot Act, to the current Black Lives Matter movement, and shows these issues through the disbelieving witnessing eyes of a child growing up in New York City. I think given the moment in our country, in the height of a very contentious election season, that this song/video will be poignant to anyone engaged in our national discourse.”
