"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. Roger Waters composed the song on guitar using an open tuning in G major that he learned from Syd Barrett. He 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. The fans repeatedly chant "Liverpool!" after the song's conclusion, and their cheering reverberates across the stereo field in a haunting manner, which produces a somewhat psychedelic effect on listeners with headphones.
The song is almost regarded as an underground hit for Pink Floyd, because although it was not released as a single in the UK or played live by the band, it remains greatly favoured among hardcore fans. Its title is derived from a football slang term for "awesome", which became a cliché among the band's touring party.
"Fearless" was the second single by New York City-based American indie/alternative rock band The Bravery. It is also a track on the band's self-titled debut album The Bravery. It was released in the UK on 23 May 2005 and charted at #43 in the UK Singles Chart (see 2005 in British music). It also features a bonus track, a cover of "An Cat Dubh" (Gaelic for "The Black Cat"), written and performed originally by U2, featured on Boy. The video shows the band each playing their instrument at the front of their own speed boat.
Located in Chicago's River North district, the Fearless Radio studios broadcast via multiple Shoutcast streams a variety of live content and showcase indepedent music from artists around the world. Every show on the network has content available for podcasting, along with a variety of interviews with musicians, artists and celebrities.
