FEAR NOT

(Released March 18, 2025)

Well, I finally decided to put it out, as a single. There are more tracks from this project (titled “Everything Is Falling Apart”), and I’ll eventually meld them all together into one. Eventually. Let’s call it an “album in progress”.

It’s nice to put out something under the Fidelium moniker again. Makes me all nostalgic. This whole series was written during one of the difficult periods in my life, around 2017. Was amidst a really shitty breakup, and was still living with them in a tiny apartment in the Tenderloin, San Francisco. My buddy Teddy came over and I recorded him playing some licks on his nylon string guitar. This simple major chord arpeggio he played so tenderly was stuck in my head for days after, and I felt inspired to transform it into what you hear now: “Fear Not”.

The message is straightforward, to not be afraid when life has got you down, when you can barely get out of bed everyday, and you’re losing hope. I think I wrote this to give myself something uplifting for the spirit to work on (it kept me going), and now I give it away to the world. May it uplift you.

Don’t give up hope.
