Some songs make you feel better, and others make you think. The father-son duo Westwell's newest song, "Fear," definitely falls into the second group. It tells people to face their fears rather than run from them.
The song, recorded at Westwell Studios in England, changes how people think about prayer. "Fear" doesn't make us want to be safe or live a life of ease, instead, it makes us ask for the strength that comes from facing our fears. This idea goes against what most people think, which is that being open and gentle can make you stronger and more resilient.
"Fear" starts softly, like someone is telling you a secret. Over time, the song gets louder and more dramatic. The song has a warm feel because it mixes folk and rock, and the significant, sweeping parts hit you like a wave. The main idea of "Fear" is intriguing, more than just being scared, it can help us learn, show us the way, and make us better people. It tells us to think about what strength really means. It says that true strength doesn't come from being harsh or unyielding, it comes from having a kind heart that can handle hard times.
This release shows that Westwell is brave enough to say something that many people can relate to on both personal and universal levels. "Fear" isn't just a background track, it's a call to action to face our fears instead of running from them. "Fear" isn't just a song by Westwell, it's also a way to get people to be creative.
