Home (Live from the Draylen Mason Music)

Into your arms I'm running

I'm going home
You've always been there for me, I never feel alone This place has nothing for me and I knew it all along
Said I'm going don't you wory love. I'm going home

Keep On (Live from The Draylen Mason)

Keep On

10 o'clock and I'm heated - Can't believe what you said
But I can't run away too far with you sharing my bed Feeling disrespect--can I get a witness
Talk about a ring--but baby do we fit this?

Enough

Your light is Enough...

You've been chasing sunrise steady running from the night
Wishing you were different When you shine up like the moon and sky

Say Something

No good at secrets

I don't want to just stand by, You know I'm no good at keeping secrets.
Everything breaks when I say "it's fine"
And no I can't read your mind when something's eating you from the inside. But you won't let me in. Why don't you Say Something?

Who Is Daniel Fears?

I grew up loving a lot of different types of music. From the gospel and christian music I was raised on, to the hip hop and R&B that informed me growing up, to the classical music I studied at The University of Texas and Yale University.

Since my first project in 2020, Fears I’ve sought out musical experiences of all types. I’ve performed intimate backyard concerts, opening for touring R&B acts Mac Ayres and BLK ODYSSY, performed at folk festivals, and at sold out shows with an 18 piece orchestra. My path has been (and perhaps will always be) an unconventional one.

My latest project, “Close to Home” attempts to bring these influences into one space. “Close to Home” combines distinct melodic R&B sound (imagine John Legend, Marvin Gaye, Frank Ocean) with an ensemble of strings, voices, guitar, and piano, totally unplugged and recorded live.

Some of my music can be heard in the award-winning indie documentary “Route To Emancipation” and in the upcoming short film “If They Took Us Back”--a reimagination of American history (for release on Juneteenth, 2024).
