Live Free


One of the most beautiful love songs I have ever heard, and a side from Mr. Farrar that is not often seen, at least not in such a blunt perspective. I think we all have had that feeling of wanting to see someone we love so dearly, but some factor prohibits our desire. "Lights that shine are caustic without you," presents an evident lovesick truth. The chorus of this tune speaks to me in a sense that even as the narrator grows old, that same love... "it will remain."
Looking for the right kind of live free or die... I want to see your smile through a pay phone The season has changed I want to see you in it Lights that shine are caustic without you When we're all passed over The rhythm of the river will remain And it will remain Nicotine and waiting Just wanted to keep it alive You turn and before you know it We're just threading this needle for life A brighter way is what you prove Anesthetize is what you do When we're all passed over The rhythm of the river will remain And it will remain Someday we'll be together Farther south than the train line The Delta mud will be there We're just living this way 'Cause we've known no other When we're all passed over The rhythm of the river will remain And it will remain Looking for the right kind of live free or die...
