I feel free
Feel when I dance with you,
We move like the sea.
You, you're all I want to know.
I feel free.
I feel free.
I feel free.
I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd.
I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see,
Though my mind wants to cry out loud.
I, I, I, I feel free.
I feel free.
I feel free.
I can walk down the street, there's no one there
Though the pavements are one huge crowd.
I can drive down the road; my eyes don't see,
Though my mind wants to cry out loud,
Though my mind wants to cry out loud.
Dance floor is like the sea,
Ceiling is the sky.
You're the sun and as you shine on me,
I feel free.
I feel free.
I feel free.
I, I, I, I
Feel Free by Eric Clapton is a song that's all about being in a moment that stands out from everything else around it. It's about feeling so connected to someone or something that it almost doesn't feel real. The song begins with a very simple rhythm that starts with a bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp, bomp, that's then repeated several times. This part of the song is very simple but effective. It's meant to build up a sense of anticipation in the listener. Then, the first verse comes in, and we hear the singer marveling at how free he feels when he's with the person he loves. He compares their movements to the sea and explains that he doesn't need anything else in his life as long as he has them.
The second verse is a bit more melancholic in tone. The singer is still feeling free, but he's also aware of how alone he is in the world. He can wander aimlessly down the street and not really see anyone around him. Even though there are people all around him, he feels like he's completely isolated. The song ends by returning to the chorus with the line, "dance floor is like the sea, ceiling is the sky. You're the sun, and as you shine on me, I feel free." It's clear that the person the singer is with is what's making him feel free, and that there's nothing else that he needs in his life as long as he has them.
