about

For some of us, love always seems to go wrong, but this song is really about resolving the whole untidy process. It's another kind of love -- a love where you accept yourself exactly as you are. That's the thing that makes you free." This was recorded in mid-2009 at home, using a Blue Snowball mic and iMovie HD. There is a YouTube video of this track being performed on the "ThePuzzledDragon" channel.

lyrics

IT'S LOVE THAT MAKES YOUR FREE

by Mad Mar Walker

VERSE 1
Stubble bearded papa
what have you got to say?
We never did much talking anyway.
Half of what you tell me
I know that it's a like,
the other half is guaranteed to make me cry.

REFRAIN:
Love won't grow so easily
it's raging up like the sea
Love is the thing that pains your heart
and it's love that makes you free

VERSE 2
Weather can be sunny
Weather can be mean and bad
Love can be sweet, it can be sour and sad
Try to start a fire in the pouring rain
You can light the body -buddy can you light the brain.

VERSE 3
I've known my share of stubborn old men
One or two I'd like to see again.
Faces like sandpaper, hearts of stone
Breathing fire, they burn you right to the bone.
