Think this was the American original. Lots of U.S. songs get re-written and released by a different artist. I lived in the U.S. and for the first year heard lots of British songs sung by American artists getting into the charts.
That is fucking aweful. Literally the worst vid on here. Utter shite. Anyone who's heard the original will want to find you and take a ball for posting this.
The song has influenced a fan-made banner on the Stretford End at English football club Manchester United's home stadium Old Trafford. The sign reads "For Everymanc A Religion", a take on the lyric "For everyman a religion".
The music video for "F.E.A.R." marked Ian's directorial debut. It featured footage of the singer slowly riding a bicycle through the busy streets of Soho and Chinatown in London, which was then reversed to give the impression of being ridden backwards. The route followed was from Berwick Street to Gerrard Street.
The song incorporates a creative lyric scheme where each verse forms the acrostic "F.E.A.R." (For example, "For each a road" and "Fallen empires are ruling").
In an interview with Clash magazine, Ian indicated that a main influence for "F.E.A.R." was The Autobiography of Malcolm X, which preached the study of etymology, so that one could have "control over people through the use of language." The Monkey Man proceeded to create hundreds of acronyms from the word "fear".
Who is the one fuckhead who disliked this song, you obviously have no taste for good music, suppose your a beiber fan. This is fantastic music whether you are a Brown fan or not.
@kmp3000 It's a total disgrace that the masterly Dom Joly directed original video of King Monkey cycling backwards on a Chopper through Soho is unavailable on YouTube due to copyright claims.You can watch it on DailyMotion though.
