"Fear of the Dark" (1992) - VIBES🎵 / WEB3 Music Competition Week 29 / Bass cover by @musicandreview
This week's theme led me to bring you a song that is one of my lifelong favorites, “Fear of the dark” is a song by the British band Iron Maiden that was released in 1992 and went on to become one of the most listened Heavy Metal classics. I had the opportunity to see this band many years ago and it is one of the most important experiences of my life, I still remember chanting every phrase of this song along with thousands of fans who went crazy with success that the band played.
One of the things about Iron Maiden songs is that the bass can be very fast, so for me it was not an easy task, I had to practice for a couple of hours until I could adapt. I felt very good playing this song which starts off calmly, but then becomes frantic, which is characteristic of many of this band's songs.
To record this song I used the Cubase5 application, I also used the Moises application to remove the original bass line, so you will only hear the line I recorded. I hope my participation this week will be to everyone's liking, best regards!

Lyrics
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark
Fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you
Fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no-one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there
Fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense, and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind
Fear of the dark
I have constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark
Fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
I am a man who walks alone
