“I’m So Afraid” —by Fleetwood Mac （English version)

Fleetwood Mac is one of my two favorite Rock and Roll bands(Eagles & Fleetwood Mac). Different from the Eagles and many other bands, their music and lyrics are in such an unique way that they always give me deep emotion and feelings.

 

“I’m So Afraid” is one of them I’ve listened again and again but never get tried.

 

Please pay very close attention to their drum, the guitar and the bass, and please listen to what Linsey Buckingham sings. The music is goundbreaking and the tone is sorrow but defiant.

 

When I feel low, I would go to play this song that amazingly offers me comfort, strength and hope. It tells me there is a person out there just like me, feeling alone and being afraid. However, it comforts me that it's ok to be alone, and it's ok to feel afraid. There has neither sorry nor shame. I am who I am, I won't give up, and I won't change to fit in, even in front of death.

 

How courageous!

 

I’m So Afraid

 

I been alone

All the years

So many ways to count the tears

I never change

I never will

I'm so afraid the way I feel

 

Days when the rain and the sun are gone

Black as night

Agony's torn at my heart too long

So afraid

Slip and I fall and I die

 

I been alone

Always down

No one cared to stay around

I never change

I never will

I'm so afraid the way I feel

 

Days when the rain and the sun are gone

Black as night

Agony's torn at my heart too long

So afraid

Slip and I fall and I die
