about

No Fear finds Debris Discs' James Eary raiding the vaults of his old band's demo tapes for inspiration. Stumbling on his original version of a Coves & Caves album track, James could hear the untapped potential, primed for a Debris Discs reimagining.

‘No Fear’ finds James building on a 90’s hip-hop inspired beat and piano loop with layers of sonic stardust. Dynamic peaks and troughs are created through samples, organs, synth pads and analogue arpeggiators, with the groove enriched by a deep and melodic bass line. The final sprinkling of magic comes from spiralling guitar lines and lush harmonies underpinning a timeless, heartfelt vocal melody. The end result is a laid-back, dreamy electro groove with an all-enveloping soundscape. A song to lose yourself in.

No Fear is a defiant affirmation of inner-strength. It’s a personal struggle between giving into exhausted resignation or quietly taking a stand and believing in self-worth. There’s no grandstanding or showboating here, just calm reflections and stoic resolutions. It’s a minor victory, but it means everything.

lyrics

Send myself to sleep
I can see tempers frayed
My nature depletes
And all that’s left is man-made

This conflict’s getting tired
There’s nothing left
But I can’t let hope retire and take second best
So I fight to the death

I’m not scared
I’m not scared
I’ve got a heart that’s strong
It’s where I belong

This conflict’s getting tired
There’s nothing left
But I can’t let hope retire and take second best
So I fight to the death

I’m not scared
I’m not scared
I’ve got a heart that’s strong
It’s where I belong

My confidence is rising
They’ve got a king to hail
Now you’ve gone into hiding
And I live to tell the tale

Now I’m falling asleep
Now I’m falling asleep
Now I’m falling asleep
Now I’m falling asleep

I’m not scared
I’m not scared
I’ve got a heart that’s strong
It’s where I belong
