Freedom Bound (Original Song)

[upa1444]

This is amazing. But why have you stopped making music? Or have you just relocated?

[stonebuystone]

@upa1444 Dunno about amazing, but I think it's alright. I've been recording intensely over the last 18 months. Should appear somewhere on the web in the near future. Thanks a mil for your interest my friend.

[upa1444]

@stonebuystone Great! Looking forward to it!

[irishpride9999]

You have too much time on your hands.

[acoolwitness]

just found your stuff. you are a good writer. this song is quite original its a little like crowded house but so what it sounds really great, you should work a sax solo into the center.

[sense243]

good song!

[denboy666]

'Drown every mistake'!

[stonebuystone]

Indeed :)

[vamosbabe]

[60sAZ]

HEY SIMON,

Another great track. Very catchy. The video is also rather good. A "sporty" feel, lol.

It gets difficult to comment on your videos without repeating ones-self. They are all SOOOOO good.

You certainly are very talented.

Thanks for posting so many of your originals.

Cheers.

AZ.

[stonebuystone]

Hey AZ, Catchy is cool with me but sporty is a new one, lol. Your comments are always so different and individual and that,it's always a delight to read them, so thanks for that my man. More originals coming :)

[SEATTLEGRL1]

A fab song Simon! And the video is so well done as well. -S.S.

[stonebuystone]

Great you liked the vid cuz for this one I'd thought I'd spend less time on it and just slap something together. Gonna do more like this I think, leave more time for the muuusssic. Glad you liked the sond :)

[stonebuystone]

Hey Bka! Thanks girl, you're a good 'un. You take care now ;)

[BigLoveZone]

Ok, this is the routine:

1. Click on Simon's video

2. See how fast you can click on 5 stars before the video starts

3. Favorite immediately

3. Watch video while tapping foot and smiling

4. Comment how you adore his stuff

5. Wash, Rinse, and repeat as often as possible xOx

[stonebuystone]

Hello Bobbie! I'm sorry I've taken so long, I feel terrible :( Nice routine, but is washing really necessary? My favourite here is the second number 3, :S It's great to know that I get you smiling once in a while when you watch me vids. You're a star, thanks for this rather cool comment :)

[BigLoveZone]

Holy heck in a hoagie, I'm a three repeater too! yikes!..lol

You're a gent, cheers my man

[rhopen]

All of your vids (music and video) are so well done Stone. This one is one of your best. -Ron

[stonebuystone]

Great compliment Ron, I thank you sir

[blooeye]

wow this is really cool. some great production on this. *****

[stonebuystone]

Thank you. It was pretty easy to mix; just bass, drums, guitar, piano and vox. (A bit of organ too, now I think of it.) I still spent ages tweaking the thing into shape, glad you thought it was worth it. Cheers

[pgmosier2013]

i love you!

this song is awesome :D i really love your voice

Paige xxx

[stonebuystone]

Hi Paige, why do you live so far away? :( Glad you like the song. Better still you like my voice, as it's the only one I've got.

[jdstorms]

Wow Simon. I really like this. No wonder it's the title track! Love the video!! 5 ***** playlisted & faved!

[stonebuystone]

Hey, I'm glad you liked it so much. I think the production helps with this one cuz I managed to get the sound I was going for. Which sure ain't the way it usually is :(

More vids of me pranching around the house on their way!

[1stlagitana]

Simon!! You are great as always!

What f's me up is YT trying to make me NOT send this comment to you. So If you do not ge it it is YT not me!

You are GREAT!

Hello! YT isn't letting me post ANY comments at all, only on my own vids, so at least I can reply to lovely comments like this from lovely people like you. Thanks!

[gmdinformation]

Great message there Simon and one or the more interesting melodies I've heard from you.

Dis on ant

Can be good

In restraint

[stonebuystone]

Yeah it adds a bit of spice, without it, I'd get bored quick. You too, I'm sure. Thanks for tuning in :)

[squarecut]

pretty mysterious lyrics :) I guess it leaves it to the listener ... I like that. Nice song. Rock on !

[stonebuystone]

Yeah I like to leave it to the listener, I hate being spoonfed lyrics and don't expect you do either. Thanks for your feedback :)
