During a recent appearance on The daily thread‘s “Candace” spectacle, TASKS leader Aaron Lewis discussed his controversial new solo single, “Am I the only one”. The trail, which targets liberals and addresses burnt American flags and statues that have been removed across the country, was written by Lewis with Ira Dean and Jeffrey Steele.

Speaking of the way the song was conceived, Lewis said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “My friend and I Jeffrey Steele and another friend, Ira Dean, got together and sat down and decided that we were going to write an honest song about what we had all been through in our own lives with the closure and craziness that we have been watching on TV for the past 18 months . And I feel like you don’t have to be on one side or the other to have, at some point during all of this, been watching your TV and shouting profanity, like, “What?” is happening to this country? “We are a nation under indivisible God, with freedom and justice for all.”

Aaron went on to suggest that honesty is something much lacking in music today, with many artists choosing to refrain from expressing their political views.

“They are afraid” Lewis noted. “Look what happens when you speak these days. Look at what happens when you try to speak the truth and you try to tell the facts. Because the truth and the facts don’t necessarily sound right out of one. side in particular. “

The “Am I the only one” the choir sees Lewis singing: “I’m not the only one, I want to fight / For my love of red and white / And blue, burning to the ground / Another statue descends in a town near you.” Lewis also critical Bruce springsteen at the end of the song, singing, “Am I the only one who stops singing every time they play a song?” Springsteen song.”

He was asked why he chose to call Springsteen in the lyrics of the song, Lewis Said: “Because he always presented himself as the all-American middle class guy. And during all this madness he said if a man were re-elected as president he would move to Australia. That is. Are you going to let go of America just because you don’t like the guy who got on the job?

Last July, Scott Borchetta, Big Machine Label Groupfounder and CEO of, defended the company’s decision to release “Am I the only one”. Borchettacomments came in response to the industry blogger Bob lefsetz, who slammed Lewisthe song of “odious”. Lefsetz then called Lewis a “right-wing bourgeois wanker” whose divisive piece “should have been played by CPAC, between the speeches of idiots like saying to refuse the ‘Fauci ouchie. ‘”

Lewis Recount “Candace” that at first there had been reluctance from people about him wanting to record and release such a blatant conservative political protest song. “There might have been a little tinge of it at the start, but I think everyone has managed to figure that out,” he said. “And I even got support from some places I didn’t expect to get support – like my record label. Come and find out. Scott Borchetta is pretty important on the First Amendment, freedom of speech. “

Springsteen can best be described as Lewisthe political opposite of, having been a vocal opponent of the former US president Donald trump at many times. In August 2020, Bruce went so far as to authorize the use of his song “The climb” in a video broadcast overnight, one of the Democratic National Convention.

Lewis, who is widely regarded as one of the most politically conservative rock musicians, made headlines last month when he urged his fans to chant “Fuck Joe biden” during TASKS concert in Pennsylvania.

Aaron said to Anchor press in a January 2020 interview he considered the first Donald trump impeachment by the House of Representatives as the clearest representation of what’s wrong with America these days.

Lewis was a staunch critic of President Barack Obama, telling a crowd at one of his solo concerts in 2016: “Barack obama should have been removed a long time ago. Every fucking decision he makes is against the Constitution, it’s against what’s good for our fucking country, and he really is the worst fucking president we’ve ever had in the history of this fucking country. . “

That same year, Lewis Recount Billboard he would support Asset in the US presidential race, even though he was “disappointed” by the real estate mogul “with the quarrels and name-calling”. Lewis added that he voted for Senator Ted Cruz, Assetclosest competitor to in the Republican nomination race, in the Massachusetts primary.

In June, Lewis made headlines when he accused the US Democratic Party of fighting all major civil rights initiatives and of having a long history of discrimination.
