“I met with Dan in 2022, he sent me ‘Fear Of Living’, I added some riffs and things, and he said he liked it,” explains Dando. “I shall miss you, Dear Prince, ever the most dignified person in the room.”
Dando played all the instruments on the song, which was recorded and produced by Apollo Nove at A9 Audio in São Paulo, Brazil. Hear “Fear Of Living” below:
