Purple Tree - Got to be Free

[marushkaSR]

I like it!! :) good luck ;)

[lesbeat101]

amazing!

[gypsygirl731]

ow baby .. a new age party music HI 5 danec dance you got to be free ...

[drumspirit23]

1:11 is the corny part i'm talking about but the organ solo section is seriously good

[drumspirit23]

there's some really good stuff here, but some of it's a little corny.

[singularity64]

Excellent! Every American should watch this. I agree with the Bush-Hitler comparison. 9/11 was Bush's Reichstag fire. But, thank God, you can get rid of any potential dictator every 4 years. (Hopefully before they do too much damage.)

[jitterbug121]

*BRILLANT*

[Dratini999]

Beautiful song and strong lyrics!

[caseyjones92]

damn, if this were made back in the 70's, you'd be making pink floyd jealous! i bet you already do =). all the best, dave!

[MoongrassNoel]

brilliant mate !!!!!

[secretkid3]

pretty colors!

[SNAXDUO]

Great performance!

[Beatleologist]

Hey David, I've played your CD's till I have them all completely memorized...any new stuff on the horizon? Oh yeah, how do you like being a new dad?

[purpletreeband]

Thanks Tim ! I'm appreciative of your continued support :) Yea I have some new music on the horizon. I've been writing every weekend. I have a pro-obama song I'm trying to finish up too. Being a new dad is amazing! Leaves me speechless. Circle of Life, the power of Nature, he amazes me. Not as much time as I used to have, but it's certainly worth it ... :) I'm trying to be online more in the coming months. Take care and thanks again !! ~David

[Beatleologist]

I know the feeling David. Cherish each moment and burn each one into your memory. Time will go by in a flash and you'll wonder where it all went. He'll always be daddy's little boy, even when he has kids of his own. Remember every giggle, every tear, every accomplishment and always remember to praise him when he does the right things. Life is far too short and you don't want to look back one day and say "I wish I'd........".

[purpletreeband]

Thanks Tim ! That is wonderful advice. I will heed that call. You've inspired me to record more video footage of him. I'm already seeing that clothes I thought he'd never fit are already to big for him. Many blessings...

[DayTripperLennon]

Hey this is pretty cool. At first I was like eeeeh, but then I was like "I dig!" keep it up!

[GooBooFilms]

this is actually very good.

[asullivan00]

very clever video

[marksalottt]

Cool lookin band .. kinda lennon like. my compliments to ur band. ty4 Sharing.. Add more rockabilly and u have the best band since the Beatles.

[catbird007]

Cool song it's like John lennon meets Devo,

[chacha1103]

I dig this stuff man! Keep it up!

[roberthyke75]

Hello David

How ya doing?

I´ll never tired to say this song really rocks. It is one of my favorite purple tree´s songs!

Thanks

[Lamvesp]

Love this.I LOVE THIS!!!!

[zulydubi]

really good

[VinnyMcFly]

sounds nothing like what you say it sounds like

[derryhawk]

Dave, that is very original okay...Clever...Sometimes my friend, I think you were born about 35 yrs too late...Or maybe i was born 35 yrs too early. Excellent music, and creative video.

[mintgirl0001]

Great video i like the message in the song keep up the good work

[Beatlemarek]

5*/5* thx

[nyjordy]

This is really good , love the Bush -Hitler thing ,..and the message it self of the song ..

everything ..the melody ..format etc but the microphone noise (intentional of course) really bothers me a lots .. a lots ..

Congratulations tho .. You guys are working hard and going good !!

Thanks ..

[cheerbear237]

I just wanted to comment that plenty of people in the academic world agree with your comparison btw Bush and Hitler. One professor even was fired for making a comparison in his class.

[GuitarZzann]

You guys look like your trying to look and sound like the Beatles, not a bad thing, The Beatles were the best, but nobody can compare to them, good song, keep it up.

[Derventio74]

As usual, total professionalism and excellence.. Many thanks for sharing this.

Tony :-)

[spendy2]

LOVE IT!!!!!!

Totally LOVE IT!!!

[xfaida]

amazing..

[cin4321g]

Yes, got to be free.....

[noahwayne]

I'd like to hear some of your songs rather than Beatles imitations and I dont mean to be rude by that. Some parts of this song are good but theres some really weak bits, in terms of the production, that let it down. On the section "oh we've got to be free" the keys sound naff and the Abbey Road drum fill sounds like some naff eighties kit sound. The ideas are there but....I hope that my comments dont piss you off because thats not my intention.

[robkane35]

Good song but i can't see that many parallels between nazi germany and the usa

[hiadoin83]

i see where the song is coming from.one more attack like 9-11 on US soil and bush will be a dictator and our freedom will be gone.verse two.

the band shoulda made it more clear tho.bush is pretty far from hitler.hes more like shitler, or retard-o.

[sarrazinmars]

Great Lyrics,Great Montage,and Great Musical Combination by all PURPLETREEBAND!

Our best wishes to David`s Wife for a Safe Birth Delivery of Baby Boy -D-jr.

May the Stars shine upon Baby and Parents!

[Derventio74]

Words cannot describe this video - fantastic music, beautifully co-ordinated with the film.. Quite amazing.. This what defines 5* on YT..

Well done - David & co!

Tony x

[hiadoin83]

This video is the best one yet from you guys.nobody can deny the production is fantastic.funny though becuz people like to argue on youtube.bunch of kids in youtube think this is a schoolyard.you guys are GREAT! your making music while thyre beatin off.there is no fluff to this song,its in yur face.YOU ROCK and thank you for making such a great production!some tubers aren't worthy to have you on here representing.Ahead of yur time.

[purpletreeband]

Thanks my friend! I appreciate your sentiments.

Thanks again to everyone else for watching. I am signing off on this video. Talk to you all next time...

[jugoponos]

usa got to be Free

under the John Lennon Tree

[cin4321g]

Thats right.............

[jugoponos]

usa got to be Free

NO hard feelings

[heliothehunter]

Awesome! A new Purple Tree video!

Y'know, I really like the guitar tone on this song. What amp/pedals did you use?

[purpletreeband]

1st lead part: Supro Supreme Valco 51 Guitar Amp and a 60's fender strat through crybaby wah. The solo after 2nd chorus is a gibson les paul goldtop through crybaby wah and a 70s fender twin. Then with my amp I just cranked a solidstate fender practice amp to 10.

[cheerbear237]

I consider myself a cynical music fan but you have impressed me immensely. Your melodies are creative and you sing of tragedy and hope. ;) Favorited! 5 stars!

[purpletreeband]

Thanks very much cheerbear237! I'm humbled to have you with us. :)

[KobyBrandt]

Thanks for the music purpletree. *****

[rudimalo]

everything is back to close the door but it seems that books in modern history has been made on one side, is a good message reflexion, it is dangerous to forget the past wars and the "old" sinister minds as Mengele to mention one .. .

[purpletreeband]

Great point rudimalo. Thanks for sharing that. :)

[rudimalo]

hey, man your music is too original; your aloud is like Lennon and musical arrangements, is not asking for more

[ViettKamo]

oh man David,

this song is really amazing.

i can hear the Beatles in you man

i really really really like this song!!

its really good to hear from you again man

GREAT GREAT SONG AND VIDEO

[purpletreeband]

Thanks ViettKamo :) Good to hear from you again! Glad you liked the song and video. Hope your summer is going well. take care my friend.

[fagbaza]

alright i dont like this at all im sorry but your run of the mill bs isnt working on me... oh yea bush is a nazi huh rah! yea give me a break you dont know anything close to the nazis... the only more stereotypical thing you couldve done was compare him to big brother, 1984 thought police. It sounds really cool to be a rebel... thats all this is.

[purpletreeband]

Learn your history fagbaza. The parallels between Germany society post Reichstag and the United States post 9-11 are eerily similar and grow stronger with each passing day. Bush hasn't achieved full dictator status yet, but all it take is one event and a bunch of panicked sheep. Another strike on American soil is of no benefit to a foreign terrorist. It will, however, benefit Bush. That's the point of this song. Listen to the lyrics. Too many critics and not enough artists.

[watchingmark]

A very interesting video, though equating Bush with Hitler is stretching it a tad. Good song!

[Beatleologist]

You're right watchingmark, about stretching it a bit. Even though he was a demon Hitler was much smarter.

[ChristopherYnot]

Cheers David excellent *****

[hippiefreakmaster]

wow man your really good and come to kansas ill be sure to see you live

man

[purpletreeband]

Thanks hippiefreakmaster. We will try again next year to assemble a tour. I hope to make it out your way! peace and prosperity.

[mrglazedonut2u]

[isthatmusicicanhear2]

★★★★★ AWESOME '' ISSY

[slender132]

Another excellent video David and what a great message. 5 stars!

[ladydawn1973]

a 100% and no less :)..

[rageunderground]

Excellent stuff.

5* and shared!

peace/rage

[purpletreeband]

LMAO rageunderground. Love your sentiments. :P Thanks for the rating.

[rageunderground]

haha just look at the top 40 charts and you will understand where im coming from ;)

again. brill work!

[AquaBeatle94]

Hey this is great! Hopefully Presidents/Prime Ministers will actually take notice the anit-war message that people are sending out. You know, you'd have thought that they would've learned by now that war holds nothing that comes close to being good, despite all the horrible wars that have happened eg World Wars 1 & 2

[purpletreeband]

Thanks AquaBeatle94. As long as there is war I hope there are folks projecting peace. Internet seems to be the fastest medium right now to reach out to many very quickly. Take care. :)

[Revan0357]

Really VERY good one! LOVE the message, and the video..just great! Great job guys!

[purpletreeband]

Thanks Revan0357, Glad you enjoyed it. We had a great time making it... Peace to you ~David

[Revan0357]

Yes thank YOU David for taking your time to make this great show of art. Good to know we have one band out there that hasn't lost hope for music.

[simonbath]

i enjoyed it, good fun.

[mistyjocasta]

This was awesome! Thank you for making it!

[hiadoin83]

Hey david. I posted a live version video response of you guys doing this jam in New York. Hope you don't mind.

[Lomedae]

Good stuff, what it lacks in subtlety it more than makes up in great production and an excellent song. You guys rock!

[purpletreeband]

Thanks Lomedae. :)

[TIWICI]

Bravo, David!! I love it!!! This should be in rotation on Music Television!

[purpletreeband]

Thanks TIWICI, you're too kind. YouTube did a number on my mixdown after upload, that's my only complaint... Compression shouldn't be done by a computer alone..., Yikes.

[londonpenda]

Good to see you back David;)

Great production.

Sorry to buck the trend here but, I didn't think the song had a real punch to it.

[purpletreeband]

Good to hear from you Ray. it's been a while.

[rutlegirl]

that was so groovy! Great song and video!

You always have that Lennon vibe which is very cool... he'd really like your music.

[purpletreeband]

Glad you dig it rutlegirl. I love your screen name. :)

[Tdani81]

Great vocals and instrumentals. Thanks so much for working hard to get Lennon's anti-war message across. The bushitler was funny. lol

[purpletreeband]

Bushitler cracked me up too. :P The suits controlling his puppet strings are the real threat. Reminds me of a quote: 'Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again' — George W. Bush ;)

[gogetapulido]

you`re the greatest in create art in music your muic knows the law "the art is a song" because you`re creatin music greatefull to my hears continue your way of music and you`ll be the lenon of today an tomorrow not "you`ll be most famous that The Beatles"

[purpletreeband]

Thanks for taking the time to write, gogetapulido. :) Take care.
