"Free As The Wind" Anvil Cover

Feeling inspired, I figured I would do some recording on February 4th, 2017... Anvil has been my favourite band ever since I first heard the "March Of The Crabs". I'll never forget my father showing me the song in it's live version on the "Past and Present" album back when I was in high school, I couldn't believe how much I could relate to the feel of their music, and naturally admire their dedication to what they love. Since then, I have been determined to follow in their footsteps, to become a highly influential and memorable part of a band that will stand the tests of time and join them in the ranks of the bands that left a true resonance, and a legacy behind. I will find the way to make it happen, it's just a matter of sticking to my guns and being true... The song I chose to record myself performing, is my favourite song by this band, for many different reasons. I love the lyrics and the message they express, I love the way the instruments come together and make a masterpiece of harmonies. The feeling in "Lips" solos in this song, had me smiling every single turn of the painstaking learning process, in which I would dissect them note for note. With repetition came definition, and I was determined to do the best I possibly could to replicate the feel, and soul that is known to be within this song. I know I wasn't perfect, but I know I did my best in the moment. Here is one of the greatest Anvil songs of all time. "Free As The Wind"... Lyrics: Running wild crazy and free Being anything I want to be Got no time for hanging around Ain't nobody gonna tie me down Spend my time doing what I please Take the world on, got 'em on their knees People think that I'm no good Won't do the things they think I should Life's confusing me and messin' me around Don't know if I'm ever coming down Got to get your mind out of my head Leave me alone and live your life instead Play my music way too loud My hair's too long, I don't fit in the crowd Leather jacket and denim jeans Metal studs run down the seams Times are hard but I don't care 'Cause if I want it I'll take my share Talkin' life on a bit too steep Outta my way or I'll bury you deep Gotta stop pushin' shovin' me around Gotta stop tryin' to put me down Got to get your mind out of my head Leave me alone and live your life instead Lotta people got a lot to say But I'm doing things my own way 'Cause I'm free as the wind Maybe someday they will understand Just why I choose to be my own man It doesn't matter I ain't gonna change The master plan should be rearranged Breaking rules is what I do On the bad side it's a better view If it's too loud then you're too old Get the hell out 'cause you've been told Gotta stop pushin' shovin' me around Gotta stop tryin' to put me down Got to get your mind out of my head Leave me alone and live your life instead Lotta people got a lot to say But I'm doing things my own way 'Cause I'm free as the wind Free as the wind Free as the wind Free as the wind Free as the wind
