Notes

Ben Hillier described this song to HOME before it was released:

"'Free' is quite a driving, up-tempo track. I really like 'Free', it’s got some great vintage synth sounds on it. It's a real analogue treat that one. (laughs) That's a really good track."

Lyrics

Free

I will never be free

I shall never be released

From the chains that bind me

That torture and blind me

And keep me from peace

Oh what heartache

Oh what heartbreak

Following me

Calling to me

I will never be free

I shall never be released

From the chains that bind me

That torture and blind me

And keep me from peace

I will never be free

I will never be laid to rest

Sisters and brothers

I'll never recover

From this tenderness

See what love brings

Hear what love sings

Sad melodies

Enticing me
