Brian Fair

Brian Fair (born May 30, 1975) is an American musician from Massachusetts, best known as lead vocalist of the heavy metal band Shadows Fall. He graduated from Milford High School in 1993 and went on to study literature at Boston University.

History

From a young age, Brian Fair had always been known for his affinity for a wide range of music. In seventh grade he had his first visit to a recording studio after he and two friends won a radio jingle contest (sponsored by Mass Electric) with a Beastie Boys-inspired tune "The Energy Conservation Rap Song." In high school, he played bass and sang in a punk band called Frenzy that performed at local underage shows. In the summer of his sophomore year (August, 1991), Fair co-founded Overcast, an influential hardcore band in the Worcester music scene. While Fair was on vocals, Scott McCooe and Pete Cortese played guitar, Mike D'Antonio played bass, and Jay Fitzgerald played drums. Overcast's first 7", Bleed Into One, was released in 1992 through Exchange Records. The band's first full-length, Expectational Dilution, was released in 1994 and is considered a groundbreaking effort as many claim that Overcast are the pioneers of the metalcore scene. Their final full-length, Fight Ambition To Kill, was released in 1997. This release was followed by nationwide touring with Shai Hulud and Disembodied. Overcast eventually split up in November 1998.

Slave To Love

by: Bryan Ferry

Tell her I'll be waiting in the usual place
With the tired and weary and there's no escape.
To need a woman you've got to know
How the strong get weak and the rich get poor.
Slave to love
slave to love.
You're running with me
don't touch the ground.
We're the restless hearted
not the chained and bound.
The sky is burning
a sea of flame
Though your world is changing I will be the same.
Slave to love
slave to love.
Slave to love
slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love.
The storm is breaking or so it seems
We're too young to reason to grown up to dream.
Now spring is turning your face to mine
I can hear your laughter
I can see your smile.
Slave to love
slave to love
. . .
Slave to love
slave to love
. . .
Slave to love
I can't escape
I'm a slave to love.
