We had a great gig in Hamilton as part of the Rocktober concert playing along such talented bands as the Ellerly Daines Trio, fantastic. You see a short clip of the song that gave our band its name: Freefall to Freedom. https://youtu.be/JGnUlaGQzPc Every song has a story to tell, so this one was written after our house was destroyed by an earthquake and we decided cut all strings and move out of the earthquake zones. Leaving friends behind was not easy, so the song is about a mix of sadness, uncertainty and excitement that comes with a move and starting something new. On the road up north. Here the lyrics: Freefall to Freedom Hanging in a safety net strings are holding and connect To people, places, work and play, predictable - `til yesterday Shattered earth, shattered life, snapping strings leaves fear to strive The city’s gone, the rubbles to stay, uncertainty - since yesterday Uncertainty - since yesterday Freefall, freefall, freefall to freedom Cutting loose a few more strings, taking memories, selling things Leaving the place you know behind, relationships are redefined Feeling stripped right to the bone, vulnerable and alone Relying now on what’s inside, awakening senses to survive Awakening senses to survive Sad to leave, keen to move, feeling light, right in the groove White canvas waiting to be filled; new strings are going to be built Looking far, looking up, sipping from a coffee cup Freefall from old to new, heading past Putaruru Heading past Putaruru © Stefan Doll
