Working primarily in the genres of science fiction, action, and horror, his filmography includes Fright Night and its sequel, The Serpent and the Rainbow, Blue Steel, True Lies, and Johnny Mnemonic.
Raised in Bayville, New York on Long Island, Fiedel graduated from The Barlow School. After college, he became a popular and progressive composer, and in the 1980s, he worked on several successful movies, predominantly in the action and thriller genres, and pioneered the use of electronic instruments and synthesizers—almost disappearing from the mainstream at the end of the 1990s. He was the keyboardist for Hall and Oates.
He began his career in film in the late 1970s, and wrote extensively for television films and minor cinema releases, until director James Cameron hired him to score the science fiction film The Terminator in 1984, setting the wheels in motion for a successful career.
Since then, Fiedel has scored many popular and successful movies, including Fright Night (1985) and its sequel Fright Night Part 2 (1988), The Big Easy (1987), The Serpent and the Rainbow (1988), The Accused (1988), Blue Steel (1990), Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), Blink (1994), and True Lies (1994), although in recent years, Fiedel has moved on to other creative areas, writing original musicals and designing and building a surf resort in La Saladita, Mexico.
His last major theatrical score was in 1995, and although he enjoyed a brief period of renewed interest following the release of Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines in 2003, when Marco Beltrami wrote an orchestral arrangement of his theme, he shows no sign of returning to the film music field.
Fiedel has been married to actress Ann Dusenberry since 1975; the couple has two children.
Entity
Brad Fiedel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That lock me deep within my mind
I see colors of the rainbow
And the view is without time
My eyes are blind to what's around me
But I see beyond what is there
It's my escape within an ocean
I hear I speak in different voices
While asleep in my mind
I see unearthly chaos
From which my conscience cannot hide
I feel hands on my body
But my eyes see nothing's there
Is there a demon looking out
Through the portals of my stare?
The opening lines of "Entity" by Brad Fiedel suggest a sense of detachment from reality, as the singer enters into a "silent daydream" that envelops their mind. Despite the vividness of the colors that seem to greet them, the view feels devoid of time, and they are unable to engage with anything around them. As the track continues, this sense of disconnection from the tangible world grows stronger, as the singer claims to see beyond what is immediately visible, escaping into a vast ocean of existence that lies beyond their gaze.
The latter half of the song becomes more intense, as the singer's senses are assaulted with a range of perceptions that are impossible to comprehend. They hear themselves speaking in different voices, suggesting a fragmentation within their psyche or a sort of possession overtaking them. This is followed by a chaotic and "unearthly" vision that is too much for their "conscience" to handle, a statement that in itself implies a certain level of dissociation from reality. Finally, the song ends with a haunting question, as the singer feels "hands on [their] body" that their eyes cannot identify. The last line suggests that the portal to the singer's mind may be open to malevolent beings beyond their control.
Line by Line Meaning
I find myself in silent daydreams
I often get lost in my own thoughts and imagination
That lock me deep within my mind
These daydreams can be all-consuming and prevent me from being present in reality
I see colors of the rainbow
My daydreams are vivid and filled with vibrant imagery
And the view is without time
Time does not seem to pass in my daydreams - they are timeless
My eyes are blind to what's around me
When lost in my daydreams, I am not aware of my physical surroundings
But I see beyond what is there
In my daydreams, I can see things that are not present in reality
It's my escape within an ocean
These daydreams are my escape from reality, like diving into an ocean
It lies a world behind my stare
There is an entire world within my imagination that is hidden behind my gaze
I hear I speak in different voices
Within my dreams, I experience different personas and characters
While asleep in my mind
Even though I am not physically asleep, my mind is in a dream-like state
I see unearthly chaos
My daydreams can often be chaotic and surreal
From which my conscience cannot hide
I am unable to ignore or escape from the strange and unsettling aspects of my imagination
I feel hands on my body
Sometimes my daydreams can feel so real that I can physically sense them
But my eyes see nothing's there
Despite the physical sensations, I am aware that it is all in my imagination
Is there a demon looking out
In the midst of these vivid daydreams, I question if there is something malicious or dangerous inside my mind
Through the portals of my stare?
Is it possible for something from my imagination to escape and enter reality through my gaze?
