F.E.A.R.

"F.E.A.R." is the first single from Ian Brown's third solo album, Music of the Spheres. Released on September 17, 2001, it placed #13 on the UK Singles Chart and was both a commercial and critical success. In late 2002, it won a Muso Award for best single, as voted by his peers in the British music industry. The song incorporates a creative lyric scheme where each verse forms the acrostic "F.E.A.R." (For example, "For each a road" "Fallen empires are ruling" "Finding everything and realizing").
