Now We Are Free
Denez Prigent And Lisa Gerrard Lyrics

The song "Now We Are Free" is a collaboration between Denez Prigent, a Breton musician and singer, and Lisa Gerrard, an Australian musician, singer and composer. The lyrics, though not in any known language and often referred to as a "glossolalia," or a made-up language, are meant to evoke emotions and speak to the soul. The words are not to be understood, but rather to be felt. Some interpretations suggest that the song talks about the human experience in life and how it is intertwined with spirituality and the unknown. In the beginning of the song, "Anol shalom, Anol sheh lay konnud de ne um {shaddai}," can be interpreted as a prayer for peace and hope in a chaotic world. The phrase "Now we are free" repeats multiple times throughout the song, signifying a sense of liberation and release from worldly stresses.

The instrumental and vocal components of the song are equally important in conveying the emotions associated with the lyrics. The instrumental arrangement includes traditional Breton instruments, such as the bombard, and Lisa Gerrard's signature ethereal vocals. The combination creates a unique and captivating sound that can transport listeners to another place and time.
