Pink Floyd - Fearless

Fearless" is the title of the third track on Meddle by Pink Floyd. The song's slow tempo and mellow acoustic sound bear similarities to some of the other tracks on the first side of the album. David Gilmour and Roger Waters composed the song on guitar using an open tuning in G major. Waters plays the acoustic guitar parts on the studio recording, despite his job as the band's usual bassist.

Near the beginning and at the end of the song, a field recording of fans in Liverpool's Kop singing "You'll Never Walk Alone" is superimposed over the music. This Rodgers and Hammerstein song became the anthem of Liverpool F.C. after Gerry & The Pacemakers had a number-one hit with their recording. Roger Waters is in fact a staunch supporter of Arsenal F.C..

The song is almost regarded as an underground hit for Pink Floyd, although it was not released as a single in the UK or played live by the band. Its title is derived from a football (soccer) slang term for "awesome", which became a cliché among the band's touring party.

LYRICS:
You say the hill's too steep to climb
Climb it.
You say you'd like to see me try
Climbing.

You pick the place and I'll choose the time
And I'll climb
That hill in my own way.
Just wait a while for the right day.
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down, hearing the sound of the things you've said today.

Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
Smiling.
Merciless the magistrate turns 'round
Frowning.

And who's the fool who wears the crown?
And go down,
in your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear-lines in his brow
You look down, hearing the sound of the faces in the crowd.

@CProgression MY TYPO in the first line of my previous post: The correct title is "YOU'LL" Never Walk Alone. Hey, at least, I got it right in the last line of that post!

The words are from a song featured in the musical CAROUSEL entitled, "We'll Never Walk Alone". If you have seen the play or the movie you should recall the character Nettie. She sings this to her cousin after her husband commits suicide. It is sung by Liverpool KOP. You can do further research by simply using Wikipedia as your search engine - for three separate searches - with the keywords: "You'll Never Walk Alone", "Fearless (Pink Floyd song)"and "Spion Kop (stadia)"
