Be Free
F.T. Island (에프티 아일랜드) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna be free,
Like the bluebirds flying by me,
Like the waves out on the blue sea,
If your love has to tie me,
Don't try me, say good-bye.
I wanna be free,
Don't say you love me, say you like me
But when I need you beside me,
Stay close enough to guide me,
Confide in me, whoa-oh-oh.
I wanna hold your hand,
Walk along the sand,
Laughing in the sun,
Always having fun.
Doing all those things
Without any strings to tie me down.
I wanna be free,
Like the warm September wind, babe,
Say you'll always be my friend, babe,
We can make it to the end, babe,
Again, babe, I've gotta say...
I wanna be free,




I wanna be free,
I wanna be free.

一直期待FT作不同風格的音樂
FT也一直不斷的嘗試
每次都可以看到改變
每次都可以看到進步
真的很厲害
這次完全就是突破性的轉變
看到狂野成熟的FTISLAND
看到作為搖滾樂隊的FTISLAND無可隱藏的搖滾魂
最愛FTISLAND不是因為他們是世界上最棒的樂隊
而是他們對於音樂的態度
是在眾多阻礙和偏見中依舊屹立不搖的搖滾精神
真正有實力和才華的人
終究會被世界看見的
期待著FTISLAND以更好更成熟多樣的魅力,站上世界舞台
PRI都會在你們身旁陪著你們前行的,加油阿阿阿阿



@PingPing715187

Thompson Lee他們還年輕,不需要這樣跟五月天比較啦
請想想韓國對於樂隊的不看重,他們所擁有的資源和被注意真的不能和日本或臺灣相比,我覺得他們能在這樣的環境下慢慢成長已經很值得鼓勵了,只想慢慢看著他們成長,至少他們也很努力阿~~~
還有OOR跟FT其實是很好的朋友,認識很多年了,最近也剛挑戰世界舞台不是嗎?
這兩團都比FT成熟也相較來說環境和資源都是和善的
FT只能慢慢來,慢慢作為搖滾樂隊讓自己國家接受
身為PRI,很欣賞他們踏實的一步步往前走的毅力,就因為這樣才支持的
當然他們不夠好阿,但是不斷往前進是很值得鼓勵的

I wish this genre of music was more popular in Korea

@NaNa-zg8lv

yeees

@sneakyp3869

i can see ft island becoming more and more into a fast and harcore rock compared to before. Maybe they will attract more male fans like myself.

@MyaaaaaLoVerock

I hope this will happen. they are awesome and they can sing hard rock but it's a shame that this awesome songs are only japanese and not korean too :/ 

@MyaaaaaLoVerock

Thompson Lee tho I'm a girl I really don't like those soft songs. this is my kind of music. I hope that soon they will have this kind of song in Korea too. 

@MyaaaaaLoVerock

Thompson Lee myeah. that's sad. but in the future it's gonna be different,I'm sure. 

@MyaaaaaLoVerock

that's a little sad. they deserve more attention in Korea too and that makes them feel unsure about their future. to see that you are not as loved as in other country it hurts. :( but I hope they will get the attention they want in future.

@valeskabeosundres2041

I don't know if it will attract more male audience to them or not but I love the way they are developing themselves and their music and I hope they get all the attention they deserve for they are really brilliant and well established musicians I absolutely love them and I'm deeply in love with their hardcore development :)

Korea has too many restrictions 
I am glad they are doing this in Japan and the music is more rock that than their Krock stuff

@cloudisred

FTI with smeared eyeshadow and eyeliner and bold lipstick? I can live with that. Song is hot. I can listen to this all day.
