That message is especially poignant to me as I get older and recognize that my life is still evolving and that dreams and goals can change form, and become realized, at the best, and most interesting of times. Lyrically, to me, the song is about finding your own way in the world and finding it at your own pace.
We have a growing collection of 8-Tracks, and though there are many that we love, it is Meddle that we have listened to the most. Meddle became one of mine and my boyfriend’s favorite albums this year as we re-discovered it on 8-Track. Meddle and “Fearless” – This Year’s Favorite The audio of said crowd is a recording of fans in Liverpool’s Kop singing “You’ll Never Walk Alone” (the anthem of the Liverpool Football Club). There is a live crowd that comes in at the end of the song. Roger Waters has said that former Pink Floyd member, Syd Barrett, taught him the chord. David Gilmour and Roger Waters wrote the song on guitar, using an open tuning in G-major. “Fearless” has a slow tempo with a mellow acoustic sound, which is the tone of most of the first side of Meddle. While “Fearless” is said to be giving thanks to BBC-1’s DJ John Peel for his support of the band since their earliest days. “One Of These Days” is said to have been a jab at a DJ that the band disliked. It is said that this “A-Side”/”B-Side” has an interesting, and assumed intentional twist to it. The song was released at a “B-Side” to the single “One of These Days”, in 1971, but never as its own “A-Side”. It is considered one of the bands “Greatest Hits”, despite never being released as a single in the UK, and only ever being played live once. “Fearless” is track 3 from the 1971 Pink Floyd album Meddle, which was released 46 years ago today.
