"Fearless Love," a bold and soaring declaration for living - and loving - to the fullest, is the first single from Melissa Etheridge's forthcoming album of the same title.
Forged from Etheridge's experiences as a musical and cultural activist, breast cancer survivor, parent, spouse and spiritual seeker, "Fearless Love" speaks to an uncompromising yearning.
I need a fearless love, I won't settle for anything less, she sings in the bracing chorus, setting the tone for the album.
"Love has to be fearless," Etheridge explains. "We need to have fearless love. That's where I am right now."
The single and album were produced by John Shanks, whose first album production was Etheridge's 1999 Breakdown. Since that collaboration he has risen to the top ranks of rock and pop producers with credits including Sheryl Crow, Alanis Morissette and Bon Jovi, winning the 2005 Producer of the Year Grammy Award. "Fearless Love" spotlights the album's solid rock foundation with the core band of Etheridge on acoustic guitar, Shanks providing imaginative lead guitar, color-filled keyboards from Jamie Muhoberac and the dynamic anchor of bassist Sean Hurley and drummer Victor Indrizzo.
Fearless Love, her triumphant tenth album, expands on the multiple strengths that have made Etheridge one of the most beloved figures in modern rock. It follows her revealing 2007 set The Awakening with a rousing tone at once tough and tender, as only Etheridge can be. It's that force of presence that has earned her, among other accolades, the 2007 Academy Award for best original song ("I Need to Wake Up" from the documentary An Inconvenient Truth) and two Grammy Awards.

A troubled man made an appointment with a rabbi. He was a wise and gentle rabbi. "Rabbi," said the man, wringing his hands, "I’m a failure. More than half the time I do not succeed in doing what I know I must." "Oh," murmured the rabbi. "Please say something wise, rabbi," pleaded the man. After much pondering, the rabbi replied, "Ah, my son, I give you this bit of wisdom: Go and look on page 930 of The New York Times Almanac for year 1970 and maybe you will find peace of mind." Confused by such strange advice, the troubled man went to the library to look up the source. And this is what he found-lifetime batting averages for the world's greatest baseball players. Ty Cobb, the greatest slugger of them all, had a lifetime average of.367. Even the King of Swat, Babe Ruth, didn't do that well. So the man returned to the rabbi and questioned, "Ty Cobb, .367. That's it?" "Correct," countered the rabbi. "Ty Cobb, .367. He got a hit once out of every three times at bat. He didn’t even hit.500. So what do you expect already?" "Aha," said the man, who thought he was a wretched failure because he succeeded only half the time at what he must do. Theology is amazing. Holy books abound, even where we don't expect them.
