LYRICS:
Hey, shall I give to you the world? Saying no, I am not for sale...
Hey, everybody has their price. Saying no, I am not your maid.

Someone once said to me, there's only one thing you need.
It's not the power, not the fame, freedom is the name.
You should cherish what you have, be grateful for the world.
Don't become a greedy man, you decide your plan.

Not for power, not for glory, not for god and not for gold.
My freedom can't be sold.
Not for hearts, not for fame, not for money and not for eden.
Independence is not for sale.

Hey, will you spend the night with me? Saying no, I am not for sale.
Hey, I promise you the moon. Saying no I am not your slave.

I absolutely freaking love this. You've put in so much work here it's unbelievable, and it's really paid off.

As far as the song itself goes, there's something about it that's just vastly hypnotic in the rhythm, almost like a dirge. You're crafting something very unique here.

@onecrazylemming thanks.. 't was a lot of work indeed.. but I like putting a lot of work in it. The song itself is originally based on a reggae rhythm, you can still vaguely recognize it I think, maybe that's why it's hypnothic ;) It's also 85bpm..

Móói, Yves! Doet een beetje denken aan die clips van Moby. Echt schitterend gedaan en geeft goed de sfeer van de song weer!
