“Don’t Be Afraid” by So Many Wizards – A Song Feature

     With their 2017 album, “Heavy Visions,” So Many Wizards discussed having come to grips with mortality. The follow-up track from the Los Angeles band ends with the directive “Don’t be afraid, it’s only death.” But it isn’t the insight that brings So Many Wizards to the pages of bloggers. The melodies are forceful, the tempo shifts are well executed, and the vocals are strong.

     The band members of So Many Wizards vary depending upon different sources of information. For example, a recent email about a solo project identifies Devin Ratliff as a former member of the band. Thus, we will go with the credits of the track “Don’t Be Afraid” - Nima Kazerouni (vocals and guitar), Erik Felix (drums), Allie Bumsted (keys), Tomemitsu (guitar), and Devin Ratliff (bass).

Lyrics of “Don’t Be Afraid” by So Many Wizards
Don't be afraid
It's only smoke
They don't know what
They're talking about

You are a man
With special powers
They can bite your heels
Try to suck your hours

Now you're on your own
Now you gotta see
It's just a dream
Water on your feet

Don't be afraid
It's only death
When you make your bed
Don't let these thoughts get trapped into your head

Life don't bring me down
Wish I'd never found

And I don't know when
And I don't know how
But I know it's coming
Coming straight and now
When I make my bed
When I make my bed
It's in my head
These things I said I know I can't get out

Life don't break me down
Wish I'd never found
Dead eyes calling me
Soon you'll be set free

Yeah right..

Don't be afraid...
[Repeat 4x]
It's only death...
[Repeat 4x]

Don't be afraid...
[Repeat 4x]
It's only death...
[Repeat 4x]
