Songcast #2: Freedom

Posted by Steve on Nov 28, 2008 in Songcast |

I have decided to dive into the past for awhile. Freedom (1993) is the first and only ‘politically’ motivated song I have ever written. I am unsure as to what inspired me to write it, however, I do recall being partly motivated by an “expired parking meter violation” that I found on the windshield of my tan 4-door 1979 VW Rabbit. Over the years Freedom has been underplayed even though sometimes requested. Since I have been experimenting with alternate tunings, playing a whole step down seem to work well here. I kept the same arrangement but the pre-chorus and the chorus are sung a bit differently. Enjoy!

Ha! Maybe the next time you got a ticket in 1999 in NYC and ended up in redhook further influenced the song as well. Good work Wolf – sounds great!
