Freedom For Me by Linda Lamon
Walking by the River Goyt in Marple, listening to music through my iPod (Chris Rea!) made me realise the I was lucky to be able to have the time to do this and had the freedom of nature – unlike my friend, who I am singing about, who was tied up in business and heart matters most of the time and never made the time to enjoy the simple things in life.
Enjoyed this Linda – captivating chords sequences and melody!
Thanks Alan – sorry for the late reply – I’m working on my album – very time consuming! Hope your songwriting is working a treat. Linda
Well done!
Thanks Martin. A very rough but very honest rendition and I really appreciate your encouragement.
Lovely song Linda. Ice progression. Respect for using my most hated chord Dm lol!!
Thanks Cath – I tend to do a lot in minor keys – but also a lot in D – it depends on the pitch and the mood! I never dod finish the ‘dripping tap’ song – but must do it one day. xx
Lovely song Linda. I really enjoyed the minor/major shifts in the chord progression.
Thanks Huw! I’m so pleased you liked it. I’m just actually doing a proper recording of it for my next album – but it is arranged very differently (with cello). One day I will post it – but not for a while yet! Good luck with your songs. Linda
Nice job Linda – if you’d told me that was a well known traditional folk song I just hadn’t hard before, I’d have believed it without question!
Hiya Scott, Wow, what a compliment – thanks!
Dm and Am are my favourite chords for creating mood, your song works on using major/minor shifts. Sorry your friend missed out on walking by rivers.
Hi Bernard, Yes, my friend missed out and so do many, many people – lots of folk did find that peace in nature during lockdown though. I’m working on a completely different arrangement at the moment, but keeping the chords . Hope your songwriting is going well. Linda
