The definitive freedom song.

 

[REWahoo]

Freedom has many facets...

Freedom has many facets...

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.

"freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose"

Janis Joplin

 

[Gumby]

Senior Year finals are over. Put your speakers in the window of your dorm room and crank it up!

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.

Compared to What?

Freaking awesome. Bumping in case anyone missed it.

My personal freedom song

 

[ERD50]

Freaking awesome. Bumping in case anyone missed it.

Worth a bump. One of the radio stations I listened to in the 70's played that occasionally. Loved and had not heard it in a long time - it is awesome. On a re-listen, I'm struck by how much Traffic seemed to be inspired by that piano/sax sound. Their song "Glad" and a few others .

Janis Joplin

You beat me to it. This was my first thought when I read the heading.

While reading an article (Solomon Burke, RIP - Hit & Run : Reason Magazine) about the recently late, always great Solomon Burke, I saw this video featuring Burke and the Blind Boys of Alabama. Goosebumps!

Maybe it´s not a "freedom" song but I like it: Take It Easy by The Eagles.
