“Fear of Failure” by Sea Wolf – A Song Feature

     The start of “Fear of Failure” is a crystalline guitar that would not appear impressive on a sheet of music. Neither the note sequence nor the tempo would causes difficulty for a guitarist learning to play the pattern. Doesn’t matter – the guitar is attention-grabbing. The early higher note/lower note alternating pattern functions as an alert of a reason to be attentive, much like the European police siren, but more sonically pleasing.

       The lyrics of “Fear of Failure” are relatable. Sea Wolf leader Alex Brown Church explains, “For me, this song is both incredibly personal and very much about the world we live in. It took a long time for me to get to a place where this song could come out, so it feels really good to finally be sharing it.”

     In addition to Alex Brown Church, Sea Wolf includes Lisa Fendelander (keyboards), Joey Ficken (drums), and Scott Leahy (electric guitar). The band is based in Los Angeles. The album “Through A Dark Wood” is scheduled for release on March 20.

Lyrics of “Fear of Failure” by Sea Wolf

I don’t wanna lie

I don’t know what I’m doing anymore

Is there something to even live for?

Never did believe

Never could

Though it’d be nice to

Fear of failure

[Repeated 4x]

There’s always been this thing

I’ve had this stage-fright

It’s kept me from the ring

Hate the spotlight

And I don’t wanna sing

But I have to

But I have to

But I have to

Fear of failure

Fear of failure

And I have to be brave

even though I’m still afraid

I have to be brave

Even though I’m still afraid

‘Cause there’s nowhere else to go

Can’t pretend that I don’t know

Hold my hand up to the glow

And just fade into the shadows

Careful what I say

I just want to hide myself away

And pretend that everything is fine

If I succeed then

Maybe then it will be

Then it will be

Saw a photograph today

What I looked like moving ‘cross your stage

I could see the lie behind the pose

Now I see what you saw

It wasn’t working

It wasn’t working

Fear of failure

Fear of failure

So I have to be brave

Even though I’m still afraid

I have to be brave

Even though I’m still afraid

‘Cause even if there’s nothing

No there’s nothing to believe in

I still want to be happy

And I want you to be happy

(Fear of failure)

So I have to be brave

(Fear of failure)

Have to be brave

(Fear of failure)
