Freebird by Lynyrd Skynyd

For this blog I am going to write about a song called “Freebird” by Lynyrd Skynyrd. This is a song about a man who is leaving a woman in order to travel the world and be free. It is a slower song that is meant to calm the person listening to it. The song is one of the classic, timeless melodies that do so well at remaining popular. It is a great song and is something that I like listening to whenever I can. The tone of this song is happy, even though the song is singing about something that can be sad, the man is happy because he is following his dream. Many people don’t do what they want and become sad with their lives, because they never got to do what this song is singing about, but this man is doing what he wants, that is the reason that I think this is a happy song. The majority of the song is slower and something that is easy to listen to and is something that can be used to make someone feel better. There are parts of this song that are different. This song is really long, about nine and a half minutes, so I recommend listening to it when you have a bit more time so you don’t have to stop half way through.

One of the things in this song, that is different from many other songs, is that about halfway through the song it starts a very fast guitar solo, and this lasts about four minutes. This solo is very fast and takes up a lot of time. It does become slower at some parts, but it is always at a higher rate than the rest of the song. I like how the band leads up to the solo, and makes you anticipate when it is about to start. I encourage people who listen to this song to try and guess when the solo is about to start. The song ends with every instrumental member of the band playing to rap up the large solo. This is a song that can be found anywhere and is made by a band that I think has many good songs.

If I leave here tomorrow

Would you still remember me?

For I must be traveling on, now

'Cause there's too many places I've got to see

But, if I stayed here with you, girl

Things just couldn't be the same

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now

And this bird you can not change

And this bird you can not change

And this bird you can not change

Lord knows, I can't change

Bye, bye, baby it's been a sweet love

Though this feeling I can't change

But please don't take it so badly

'Cause Lord knows I'm to blame

But, if I stayed here with you girl

Things just couldn't be the same

'Cause I'm as free as a bird now

And this bird you can not change

And the bird you can not change

And this bird you can not change

Lord knows, I can't change

Lord help me, I can't change

Lord I can't change

Won't you fly, free bird, yeah
