One, two, three... I had a dream about you real as my own hand We were side by side While the boats rolled By the bright summer sand I had to cry... See the rest of the song lyrics

    Even better is Wilson’s return as a performing singer-songwriter on his second solo album.
  2. It lacks the philosophical breadth of previous Wilson songs like “Free Life” or the wit of his masturbation ode, “Get a Grip.” But there’s more than enough here for pop stars to plunder, aided by its rich points of view.

    Love Without Fear is a strong, mature work and it's great to hear Wilson step out from behind his collaborators to present his own work again.

    He's let down by an anaemic production. [Jul 2014, p.118]

    If you want an album that is easily digested, doesn’t require much thought or attention, but still ticks all the right boxes in terms of beautiful guitar playing and vocal work, then it’s the one for you.
