This experience lead them to form the group the following year. Their debut album was released from Capitol Records in 1978.
In 1988, the group released Uptown from EMI featuring guests including Branford Marsalis, Keith Richards and Carlos Santana. The following year saw the release of Yellow Moon from A&M Records produced by Daniel Lanois. The track "Healing Chant" from that album won best pop instrumental performance of the Grammy Awards.[1]
Due to the health problems of Art Neville, the band kept low profile in the late 1990s onto the early 2000s, however, they made a comeback in 2004 with album Walkin' In The Shadow Of Life from Back Porch Records, their first newly recorded effort in 5 years.
All brothers except Charles who lived in Massachusetts, had been living in New Orleans, but suffering damages from Hurricane Katrina in 2005, Cyril and Aaron moved out of the city afterwards. They had not been performing in New Orleans since Katrina hit the city, however, they finally returned to perform there at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 2008, at the closing spot which had been reserved for them for years.[2][3]
Ivan Neville, Aaron's son on keyboards plays with the band off and on in the recent years.
Fearless
Neville Brothers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost in thoughts of you and me
Just like the moon turning the tide
I feel a pull from so deep inside
So many questions haunting us
So many doubts attacked our love
Dangerous thoughts of what could go wrong
Must be strong and fearless
We must be fearless
Ooh, counting on help from above
Trusting the power of love
We must be fearless fearless, fearless
For so long I was afraid
To step from the shadow of my mistakes
Your love has given me the courage I need
Together I know nothing can stop you and me
If we are fearless
We must be fearless
Ooh, counting on help from above
Trusting the power of love
We must be fearless, we must be fearless
We must stand in the light, willing to fight
Whatever may come between us
And be fearless, we must be fearless
Ooh, counting on help from above
Trusting the power of love
We must be fearless, fearless, fearless
Fearless, fearless, fearless
Fearless, fearless, fearless
The Neville Brothers' song "Fearless" is a powerful ballad about the endurance of love against all odds. The singer takes a walk along the sea, reflecting upon the challenges and doubts that haunted the relationship but also recognizing the deep pull from within that keeps them together. The song is a call for strength and courage in the face of adversity, as the couple must be "fearless" and trust in the power of love to overcome anything that might come between them.
The repeated refrain of "fearless" emphasizes the importance of this quality, as the couple must be willing to stand in the light and fight for their relationship. Yet this is not an easy feat, as the song acknowledges the dangerous thoughts of what could go wrong and the singer's own fear of stepping out from the shadow of their past mistakes. Ultimately, however, the love that they share has given them the courage they need to move forward, counting on help from above as they trust in the power of their shared love.
