you can still be free

Darren: This is musically extravagant and is meant to take you on a bit of a journey. It kind of immortalises two people that died- a really close friends father and an experience that daniel had. everybody's life deserves to be remembered in some way and I thought this was an amzing way to remember the beauty of someones life, in a song. Steve smith from Journey played drums on this, and he gave an amzing performance. Daniel: This song is about two people very close to us that died. One was the father of a very dear friend and the other was my next door neighbour when I was 12. He shot himself in our backyard. Afterwards, this bird used to appear in a tree outside our house and just sit there, and I made up this story about how the bird was hovering over our place to ask forgiveness. after the first album did well, I bought a house five minutes from where my Mum and Dad lived, and I looked out the window and there was this same kind of bird again, which I had never seen anyplace else. Thats why the song speaks about spreading your wings and takeing flight.

Listen to a preview of you can still be free (30 seconds)- real audio

Cool breeze and autumn leaves
Slow motion daylight
A lone pair a wathful eyes
Oversea the living
Feel the presence all around
A tortured soul
A wound unhealing
No regrets or promises
The past is gone
But you can still be free
If time will set you free

Time now to spread your wings
To take flight
The life endeavour
Aim for the burning sun
Your trapped inside
But you can still be free
If time will set you free
But its still a long way to go

Keep moving way up high
You see the light
It shines forever
Sail through the crimson skies
The purest light
The light that sets you free
If time will set you free
Sail through the windand rain tonight
Your free to fly tonight
And you can still be free
If time will set you free
And going higher than the mountains
And go high the wind dont stop
And go high
Free to fly tonight
Free to fly tonight
