Chris Rea - Nothing to Fear

Chris Rea was interviewed by John Pidgeon: - Tell us about “Nothing to fear“ Nothing to fear is a song about a European guy welcoming Muslims, and the gist of the story is that if you show us we have nothing to fear, you know, there’s gonna be no problem. And it’s asking them to show a sign of peace. It’s one of those songs that can get me in trouble sometimes, in the wrong context because I like to do double meanings and things like that, I was always a great poetry fan. And, then song also applies to a man and a woman, or any relationship, in it’s beginning, and it’s basically saying, you know, you’ve got to show each other that there’s nothing to fear. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I feel your heat in dusty whispers The wind is cold around your moon It’s getting hard to keep our distance I know your time is coming soon Don’t point your dream on my horizon Don’t take your rose too far from home Please don’t forget we’re not each other Each soul has black thorns of his own I see you dancing Your song is clear You’ve got to show me, got to show me There’s nothing to fear Nothing to fear I have my loved ones you have yours So let us gaze upon the feast In God’s own name let’s eat together In God’s own name please come in peace See how our children play together While you and me we stand alone I know we’ll never be each other If I leave you leave me alone I see you dancing Your song is clear You’ve got to show me, got to show me There’s nothing to fear Nothing to fear
