Sinatra “I’m not Afraid”
SINATRA “I’M NOT AFRAID” … This song was recorded by Sinatra in 1970, and is probably one of the worst treasures of his discography; It was posted in a single next to a cheesy song with his daughter Nancy entitled “Life’s a Trippy Thing“. It goes without saying that the single did not achieve any impact, after which “I’m not Afraid” was included in the compilation “Frank Sinatra’s Greatest Hits Vol 2.” of 1972 and shone for his absence in subsequent anthologies of relevance-to exception of The box with the comprehensive work of Reprise study of 1995.
The piece has its origin in a Jacques Brel’s theme entitled “Fils de” and included in his album “Jacques Brel 67“.
When passing to English, by Rod McKuen, the song took a totally different argument, and became the powerful vitalist anthem of a mature man, eager and capable of living love and life with the intensity of a teenager . Collect the message of the classic “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” by Irving Berlin and throws it from the old dance halls of the Swing era to the desperate streets and the desiccate sheets of a bedroom, with a rhythm of waltz that is growing In the manner of Ravel’s “bolero“, and some impressive orchestral arrangements of Lennie Hayton that take us to a summit from which it is only possible to raise the flight or fall into the abyss. The piece masterfully captures the vital and professional moment of the artist on the eve of his retirement. If in the artist himself or in his environment there had been the slightest interest in making a good farewell album, he could have been the main theme and the one that gave him the title.
Let’s shake the fear and dance, that the end caught us naked in music!
