Lemonheads recently released a new song entitled “Fear Of Living” co-written with the late Dan Lardner of QTY. Evan Dando’s singing on the track adopts a vocal tone reminiscent of Johnny Cash. The song was written in the heart of Brazil.

Dando explained that Larder was his main influence for the track, offering “I met with Dan in 2022, he sent me ‘Fear Of Living,’ I added some riffs and things, and he said he liked it. I shall miss you, Dear Prince, ever the most dignified person in the room.”

“Fear of Living” starts off with an instrumental backed up by lyrics about time healing all wounds, mental and physical. “Goodbye nurses, these wounds will heal…there are worse things than waiting for a scar to appear/I’m sick of grudges…Right now I’m mostly casting shadows.”

The song is relatable on its themes of loneliness and how people can reach their social limits. “I know you’re lonely and it’s just not fair/And I could really use a pick me up/I’m not complaining I’m just always tired.” The pessimism in this song changes to optimism when Dando speaks of acceptance. “I’m not the type to think half-full/I think it’s what’s left so I’ll enjoy it.”
