about
The Halflight album version of Fear and Love. I knew I wanted the song to be on Halflight, and as Ryan & I listened to it and talked about it, we knew it came down to a question of fit. Somehow in all the 90s, guitar-driven angst of the demo, Ryan heard something more musical and textural, more like something from Tom Waits album Rain Dogs. He ended up playing every instrument on the recording bringing it into the sonic language of Halflight. Epic production skills.
lyrics
My Dear,
I fear we're lost
And we're not what we once were
All head, no heart
We're biting and sharp, full of answers
And we turn inside
Where we dim the lights
We stay out of sight
But we're lost
Frozen, indecision
In fear of what might happen
Fear and love, why can't I tell you apart?
Fear and love, why can't I tell you apart?
The power's out
Feel the darkness
The power's out
Feel the darkness
Frozen, indecision
In fear of what might happen
Chosen, this inaction
Keep our heart in the ice bin
Fear and love, why can't I tell?
Fear and love, why can't I tell you?
Fear and love, why can't I tell you apart?
Fear and love
Fear and love
Fear and love
Fear and love
