Sometimes Bob I think you can read peoples mind, its not the first time that I've been working on a song and you come up with an assignment that matches. Anyway this one I've been working on for the last few weeks, and your assignment just gave me the push I needed. If I get time Ill do a recording but it is a slow bluesy song not too dissimilar to my “Angels and Demons†song.

Verse 1
Freedom
Such a wonderful thing
To be free as a bird
Let them sing let them sing
Verse 2
Freedom
You know it's an illusion
You think you know love
Then she leaves you in confusion
chorus
But since I lost you
Not your hold on my heart
Those birds have just flown out the door
Yeah since I lost you
I don't feel I'm free anymore
Verse 3
Freedom
You gave me freedom to choose
To make my mistakes
Win or loose win or loose
chorus
But since I lost you
Not your hold on my heart
Those birds have just flown out the door
Yeah since I lost you
I don't feel I'm free anymore
Paul,
I know what you mean about Bob's mind reading skill.
I can't count how many time I've had a germ of an idea
and the following assignment fit it perfectly.
Anyways back to your song. At first I thought the
verses were a little cliche but you seemed to turn
them on end in the chorus. Nice Job.
I hope we get to hear this "Angels & Demons" is one of
my favorites of yours.

Hey Paul
I like this ..I didn't reply earlier as I waiting to see if you were going to record it
( I'm getting wiser this was my questions of certain lines are answered when I hear it )
I really do like the chorus it reads very well to with out hearing it thats' got to be a good thing ..
Verse 3 is so well written and placed in the song ,, when you look at the structure and the wording , V1 , V2 , CH, V3, CH ..I think is very well done and ties in very good ..
Well done mate
11 out of 10
cheers

Here is to you as good as you are
And here is to me as bad as I am
As good as you are and as bad as I am
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am
Thanks John & Trevor for the feedback, I appreciate it.
cheers
Paul
Good mp3 Paul. That would sound intense with some drums. Well done. Had to listen to 15 Minutes again while I was there. Has a Psychedelic Furs feel to it. Keep up the good work.

Hey Im listening to the recording now I like it. The guitar is pretty cool. Your stuff always has a cool classic rock feel to it. I like the bird cage analogy. It kinda reminds me of bob dylan, visions of johanna "we see the empty cage not the road" (the image does not the song). Anyways awsome job keep it up.
