Freedom means different things at different stages in life, too. Here's one joyful song about freedom that really resonated with me, after the pain of my 1998 divorce:

A more general interpretation, but its the first song (second one in the video, but the first applies too) that came to mind.

Ahhhh, 1969, the year that I learned the freedom to question things. Here's that feeling in one song. And some awesome jazz musicians to boot.
