DETAILS ABOUT THIS TRACK:

This is a remix / redux / mashup / sendup of the song 'Run Like Hell' done by The National Cynical Network called 'Fight Like Hell'. The original version of this song is by the psychedelic/Progressive band Pink Floyd off of their iconic, seminal 1979 rock opera double-album, 'The Wall'.

The song describes a fascistic demagogue using his popular starpower in order to whip up the passions of a mob to do his violent bidding and exact his cruel will upon the surrounding populace.

Here, we 'mash-up' or 'remix' this song with sounds of the January 6th, 2021 riot at Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. instigated by President Donald Trump, his son, and his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani (who is also heard in this dramatic, musical treatment).

The original version of this remix, scarcely more than a 'demo tape' compared to this far more developed version, was first heard on NCN's album, 'Agent of Chaos' which came out shortly after the January 6th riot in 2021. It is here:

nationalcynical.bandcamp.com/album/agent-of-chaos

This version is far more nuanced and developed than the earlier one, having been worked on, off and on obviously, for almost a year and a half's time. Some of the crowd footage used was released only in the January 6th hearings and had never been seen before that time.

The words 'Fight Like Hell' are words that Trump actually instructed the crowd during the event, and did inspire this piece, but only occur in that following song, 'Waiting for the Words', in our playlist.

Trigger warning: Some of the sounds and music of this track can be considered to be 'psychologically intense' and artistically describe a traumatic even. Please use listener discretion.

Trivia: During the latter part of this orginal song, there is a 'scream' done by Roger Waters before the musical 'bring it home' ending section. We were able to find a woman's scream, in the Jan6 Hearing video never-before-seen video footage of the riot, that is almost identical to this original scream, and so we use it effectively 'in lieu' here.

This track is part of a playlist representing our (The National Cynical Network's) album, THE APOCALYPSE OF DONALD J. TRUMP (Vol. 8)​- 'The Insurrection (January 6th, 2021​)​'.

This 'Preview' album of VOL. 8 is here on our Bandcamp:
