At a time when administrators are cashing 6% raises and frontline teachers are barely breaking even…
When budgets pass before citizens even hear about them…
When classroom supplies come out of teachers’ pockets…
When the people doing the work are no longer at the table…
We remember this truth:

👉 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲.

Today, we release the official video and single of “𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗗𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲” — written and performed by Maine songwriter 𝗝𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘆, and produced by 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 𝗨𝗦𝗔.

This is more than a song — it’s a call to action.
It’s a tool. A truth. A reminder.

If you believe showing up still matters…
If you're tired of watching power trickle upward…
If you’ve ever felt unheard in your own community…

📢 This song is for you.

Acoustic fire meets protest spirit in this brand new song by Maine songwriter Jason Carey. Watch the video, read the press release, and sing along with a message that matters.

Carey’s hope is simple: that this song becomes something people can 𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀, 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀, or just turn up in the car when they need to remember that 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀.

“You can’t keep spending stupid amounts of money and expect better results.
That’s not how this works. This is the message we bring to the mic.”

📣 New music is on the way.
And it’s coming in hot from the same backroads that brought you “Leave the Maine Flag Alone” and “Private Person.”

It’s fast. It’s raw.
It’s for the teachers.
For the taxpayers.
For the folks getting left out of the budget conversation.

Turner, ME - A man anticipates fatherhood. The prospective mother chooses abortion instead. Shattered hopes force him to start his life over.

"She Changed Her Mind," the newly released song by Scott K Fish and Jason Carey on PineCone Records USA, tells about this emotional journey.

“For men who want to be fathers, abortion has a unique impact. Sadly, their side is absent from public discourse and policy discussions on this issue,” said songwriter Fish.

“I've forgotten the name of the columnist who said men whose dreams of fatherhood end with abortion, live the remainder of their lives with ghosts. There’s truth in that,” Fish said.

Jason Carey produced/arranged "She Changed Her Mind." He added, "This song, giving voice to the pain and suffering of this individual experience, also encourages respectful conversations about it.”

"She Changed Her Mind," dedicated to men living with ghosts, is available for a limited time from PineCone Records on the web at https://pineconerecords.com/she-changed-her-mind and across popular social media platforms.

Maine Musicians Memorialize Lewiston Shooting in Song

TURNER, ME -- "Private Person," a song by Maine musicians Jason J. Carey and Scott K Fish, tells the story of the October 2023 Lewiston, ME mass shootings by Robert Card; imagining how history might have changed if just one of several authorities had heeded the warnings and calls to help the troubled Card.

"Card referred to himself as a 'private person.' The night Card went on his rampage, we had already been working several months on a video documentary about mental illness. Particularly about the difficulty of sufferers getting proper help, because of the nature of the illness, and lack of available resources," said Carey.

The Lewiston shooting tragedy was an awful demonstration of the worst aspects of mental illness.

• A man in denial clearly in need of help
• Family and friends pleading with authorities to help the man
• Authorities ignoring or dismissing the calls for help
• And finally, the man reaching a mental breaking point

After absorbing news stories laced with quotes from victims' family members, Card's family, law enforcement officials, military personnel, elected officials, and the general public - Fish and Carey responded to the shooting through song.

"Private Person" imagines what conversations might have gone through the shooter's head, as well as conversations about what went wrong, and how we could have done better in Lewiston and Statewide.

Fish said, "Someone with mental illness often doesn't know they're ill. That's part of what makes sufferers tough to help."

"Add to that a shortage of trained mental health professionals, a lack of mental health facilities. We basically ask our neighbors with mental illness to fend for themselves," said Carey.

"Private Person" makes clear that doing nothing is neither a strategy nor an option.

How many times should someone have to ask for help before help is given?

Carey and Fish hope "Private Person" will help persuade people to consider the wisdom, the humanity, the decency, of providing a helping hand to individuals grappling with mental illness.
