Free - Don't say you love Me

[severus1001]

commovente e struggente ...dopo tanti anni riascoltarvi..................

[abuelotejano]

Truly EPIC music!!

[chassybold]

Skips a line at 4.25 :(

[sportsrockroll]

This is music, this is talent. Nowadays they'd probably get kicked off Idol-llike crap.

[farawayfettler]

great band - great musicians - great music rip Paul Kossoff

[zoso8591]

PURE BEAUTY....very strong

[Izzycuddles09]

beautiful song.



[famactor]

I really dig the discovery of some of this "old" but "new" music! Thanks! and I am going to try to put this into an "acoustic" set....Lance Rome Omaha, NE

[laspapisdelrollo]

greater :)

[ThePieffe63]

Only the great rock musicians can make a tearing slow song!!! Great

[MrJuno6]

Also great musical skill,. as well as "soul " . Lots of "soul " today with computer assistance ?

[mmm888777]

Tears..........

[musicismylife1435]

<3

[Abkeda]

Such Soul..that is what it is!

[11kirky]

This is probably my favourite song by free, the band just stepped back and let mr. rodgers vocals take it somewhere else, this song is fucking quality.

[sunshinesbeter11]

sweet..never ever get tired of hearing free..touches ya soul...no other have, or ever will top them!..rip koss ..much luv. ty (-:

[TheDidiFerr]

Paul, Koss, Andy and Simon...PURE LOVE!

[janeythebrit]

oooohhhhhh.....would make any woman go weak.......

[WanderlustX2]

I still say most of the Black Crowes catalog are a ripoff of this song! :P I love the Black Crowes for this kind of music but damn... Everything down to the tiiiiiime, tiiiiime and na na na na is in their music. I think a Crowes fan would think this was Chris Robinson. lol

[lonesomepine333]

@WanderlustX2 

[Xxemma181997xX]

i havent been listing to Free that long ....but this is amazing

this is real music unlike those people how call them artist but they aren't (for example that ass justin b.)

[kimbarklor]

This is so fucking raw.

[brashgordon]

I heard this band.... several times ...

on concrete floors ... and auditoriums ...

They evolved ... before our eyes ...

Some suffered with dependency, some with identity,

some with  ... glory ... some just kept the beat ...

Rest ... peace-fully ...

[PARAMITI]

@apeman34..bc back in the sixties kids had two times the testosterone they have today..its a fact..and..now days kids play video games not instruments..and..my father came from poverty to a multimillionaire in his thirties..its cause kids back then had purpose and were self motivated...thats what i think..nowdays.even adults who have talent often dont have much initiative..

[ladolcevita420]

we miss so koss

[kingofthedeep]

Still brings tears to my eyes. What power and feeling. What a song. Oh I Wept.

Fuck. RIP Betty. Sorry Stephanie.

[freeforalltime]

A great song from a truly great band.

[bf45el]

pure emotion and soul.

[cordfluidnevoie]

i'm 22 and a thirty year old child keeps lying to me for almos five years ... so that thing with age is just very relative i gues : P

[007backtojava]

Hi Mindy. Don't say you love me cause I know that would be just a lie.

Mark

[WanderlustX2]

Great song... Was just listening tonight and realized how much a lot of the Black Crowes great 'buried' tracks sound like this. Obviously Paul is one of the greatest rock vocalists of all time but I was amazed at how close their music is to this track. Apparently their bluesy rock isn't "commercial friendly" enough to hit the radio.

[jakemyson]

Very proud of the moment that Paul Rodgers asked me how I liked the Songs of Yesterday boxset as he signed my copy of it. I told him how much I love this song - he said he hadn't sung it for years. Told him he should...hope he listened.

[blindboybenton]

I listen to todays music. Im not even talking about the Boom Boom rap crap with all the hands in the air. with modified vocals with a fashion show

But i hear nothing with feeling. This band for me were the best band of their decade

im not going down the route of comparing this band to that band. Its just my opinion

Maybe its my age blindboy aged 45 and 3/4

[Ms70sFlowerchild]

This tune is so much like the blues. Great sound!

[MultiHarryk]

Great band. I think Andy Fraser was only 16 when he first joined Free. Totally awesome and real players. The world is lacking this so much today. TV has messed it all up. There are good players out there and we need to support them by spreading their music over the Internet.

[ivan89705]

beginners of soul style

[monkeycolin66]

classic vocals 

[Jam3zRoss]

Absolutely amazing song.

[Paulmacmanomy]

funny really cause this was just music I grew up with and seemed so matter of fact at the time only now forty years later do you really understand just how utterly heartbreakingly brilliant it really is!

[BacTgirl]

This is my VERY FAVORITE song. My God, it's so beautiful. This is on my "sing me to sleep" playlist. I listen every night. You're right, hendrixlp1970, this is REAL music. You won't find this on any classic radio station. That's a damn shame. Just think of the direction the music of today would take if the younger generations could hear this. What a musical legacy.

[walkwithcrowds]

This is one of my all time favourite songs. Paul Rogers IS "The Voice" Like apeman34 pointed out, the band were SO young when they did this but the passion and the pain of a broken heart comes pouring through in Pauls amazing voice...this is the kind of pain you would think only a grown man would feel, yet a young lad nails it perfectly....FANTASTIC!!

[orarbili]

This is SOOOOOooo freakin' beautiful - BUUUUUUUT - right at 4: 27 it FREAKIN SKIPS!!! And it's RIGHT when he's making the most pivotal point of the song - "I know it would just be a lie"!!! PLEASE, repost this or fix it or something, OK? It ruins the whole song!!! THANK YOU!!

[henrikk67]

Thanks to all who answered and sent stuff ! Top cheers xxx

[GILLYRUTH]

@ralphstrange its bizarre is nt it.Surely someone can remember it.The trouble is A&R men now are so young,that something from the eighties seems like an age ago to them.

[MrSmokeydog]

Paul Rodgers has stated in his earliest band

interviews. That his vocal style influences

were mainly American Soul , R&B singers

like Otis Redding and Wilson Picket and Sam

Cooke. He sure picked some great artists to

emulate. To this day He is still a very soulful

and all around polished lead singer and has'nt

lost much of his vocal range with age. In fact

It truly amazes me that he is able to perform

at such a high level in Queen in his late 50's.

[divinereference]

man, i miss this song. none of my friends knew who Free were. wow, is all i can think. i spend a lot of time sharing their music with them because these moments, these soul-moving, precious, beautiful moments they created need to be remembered.

[lbluesey]

sad how theyre so underrated but let us just appreciate how beautiful this is ..

[henrikk67]

Anyone know if there is a biography about the band ? Been searching bookshops since i was 15 and not found one x

[secret400]

Yes there is a book called Heavy Load., which really is the Free bible, it was produced with the cooperation of all involved. You can buy it on ebay and I think on Amazon.

[jsupe]

@henrikk67 The is also "Free at Last" by Steven Rosen, it covers Bad Company too. Not as in depth as the Todd K Smith and David Clayton book though but I bought it and liked it. These are the only two books on Free AFAIK.

[blindboybenton]

Hi There is a book Called Heavy Load.. Get it very good worth every penny also Free forever DvD

[computerblue1]

@ralphstrange No way! Nobody could do it justice!

[HughieDixon]

beautiful

[floofynut]

Free are so much like Blind Faith..... UNDERRATED...... It's ridiculous..... FREE are AWESOME :D.. beautiful music :)

[Mattwales]

A lot of people only know Free for one song - All Rght Now - but this number is a fine example of their bluesy soulful groove. Unique!

[outlawwolf621]

nah I think Fraser was only 17,he was 15 in John Mayall's bluesbreakers

[justmemother]

Their songs are always so true and pure... how uncommon... and beautiful.

[outlawwolf621]

I agree he has so much passion in his voice,esp in this track.Probably one of their best songs so sad its overlooked

[apeman34]

...and let's not forget that in 1970 (when this song came out) Paul Rodgers and Simon Kirke were 21, Koss was 20 and Andy Fraser was 18! How can children make such incredible music?!

[gazzaboy2531977]

@apeman34 mental i know pal ! Amazes me as i play guitar and i know that nowadays people dont dig the old shit and well its the best by a fuckin mile.

[Vik66tor]

@apeman34 Great question, They didnt have Cable TV, ipods ,sony, ps3s, laptops, black berrys and all the tech crap thats out there. They spent there time playing and playing music period, that was there technology back than.

[polyjr]

@apeman34 Looking for answers for that kind of questions, apeman34, i start to believe in reencarnation, 20 years old kid can't right this kind of song ( only logical explanation is this kid already lived many "full time" life experiences) !!!

[MKA829]

@apeman34 21 20 and 18 are young but that aren't childrens ages

[johnnyjohn58]

@apeman34 .just goes to show you at whatever age you are if you've got soul you just do........

[0xlAFSftwlx0]

@apeman34 pure emotion and mental freedom. kids these days don't have that, they're all robots.

[outlawwolf621]

teh queers that put him down when he was fillling in for freddie mercury ought to be required to listen to this.This is music.Pure passion!!!

[hendrixlp1970]

Prime example of what real music is about.... period...... Kossoff has always seemed to be the most over looked, under rated guitar player who ever lived. its a crying shame.

[eduf93]

@hendrixlp1970 Kossoff just died 'cause Jesus needed some guitar lessons :P

[polyjr]

@eduf93 Man Imagine the "After Judgement Day Rock Festival " !!!!!!!!

[OnlyTeasing]

@hendrixlp1970 Where do you live? Kossoff has always been a Guitar Hero here in the UK! On a par with Hendrix,Page,Clapton,Beck ......

[karlforston]

Absolutely beautiful song by a great band. Todays rockers should be required to listen to this.

[andyharvestedwards]

...just too beautiful...i love this song so much

[morrellocherry1]

This just makes me cry. Its not just the place where I,m at now, his voice is so tender, soulfull.

[theRightizright]

@morrellocherry1

It is, cherry. Beautiful. Moving. Real. It's one of the most beautiful songs of the era, and that's a HIGH compliment.

[OldOx]

So alone

[joyce55]

is like a knife cutting your heart cut by cut, so is his voice, just deeply lovely and if you don't agree, well you're deaf!

[madshadows830]

This song seals the deal as to who is one of the best rock vocalist in rock.......find the longer version of this he sings his guts out.........Marriott was better.......Paul isn't far behind.

[fuzzleredmenn]

I think they are both up there, both totally distinctive, I honestly couldnt choose on vocal prowess alone. Its like trying to compare James Brown and Sam Cooke, or Bert Jansch and Davey Graham, you cant because they are doing something totally their own even though they may have similar backgrounds.

[ItsFazsha]

Bee-cuzzz I know.....

[glimmertwinsing]

fade out to cry ...

Not only 'love you so' but also this song shoud be added to his farewell song.

i wanna say goodbye to Kossoff again!

[ameribull]

It doesnt get any better than this

[makeaveli89]

pretty good!!!!!

[apnarafi]

my fav track of free rogers class act
