When not playing and writing, they were raiding their father’s album collections for inspiration and direction. With the likes of Fleetwood Mac, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Crowded House and Simon and Garfunkel they were in good stead for the future. Also drawing from contemporary artists such as Fleet Foxes, Angus Stone & Bon Iver they have developed a great, fresh sound.
The boys met in the early years of high school and quickly became musical companions, ready to take on the world with their melodic songs and subtle harmonies. Georgia Fair’s lineup is completed by Paul on bass & Ben’s brother Nick on drums.
Love Free Me
Georgia Fair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but I'm no longer in it
Drink some water
'cause I'm no longer with you
And oh, Sweet Jesus
he's no longer with me
Take a sweet breath
Because the sky is seen
Because my heart it screams
And I believe my dreams
Because I'm love and I'm free and I'm me
Walking on a
starwort planted dusty
Drink some whisky
and it no longer makes me feel like me
And oh, Sweet Jesus
I'm no longer with him
Take a sweet breath
'cause it's my first and it's my last
Because the sky is seen
Because my heart it screams
And I believe my dreams
Because I'm love and I'm free and I'm me
Wooooah Because the sky is seen
Because my heart it screams
And I believe my dreams
Because I'm love and I'm free and I'm me
The lyrics of Georgia Fair's "Love Free Me" are quite enigmatic, leaving a lot to the interpretation of the listener. The song seems to be about a romantic relationship that has reached its end, and the singer is trying to find a way to move on and embrace her newfound freedom. She seems to be taking a moment to reflect on the past and the things that once defined her, but are no longer a part of her life.
The first stanza speaks of an image being painted, but the singer is no longer a part of it, indicating that she has moved on from whatever she used to be associated with. She also advises the person she was with to have some water, suggesting that they may need to refresh themselves and move on as well. The mention of Sweet Jesus being no longer with her could be interpreted as the end of a spiritual connection or belief system that she once held important. The last line "because I'm love and I'm free and I'm me" seems to be her declaration of self-worth and newfound freedom.
In the second stanza, the singer talks about walking on starwort, which is a type of plant that is used in herbal medicine. This suggests a need for healing or a new beginning. She also mentions whisky, which used to make her feel like herself but no longer does, highlighting that she has outgrown her past beliefs or ways of coping. She mentions Sweet Jesus again, indicating that she may be referring to a religious or spiritual connection that has been broken. The final lines echo the sentiment of the first verse, emphasizing that she is now free and true to herself.

Create an image in your mind
but I'm no longer in it
Without me being a part of it
Drink some water
Quench your thirst
'cause I'm no longer with you

Expressing surprise or shock
he's no longer with me
He is not a part of my life anymore
Take a sweet breath
Take a deep breath
'cause it's my first and it's my last
Because it is my only chance
Because the sky is seen
Because I am aware of the world around me

And I believe my dreams
I have faith in my aspirations
Because I'm love and I'm free and I'm me

Walking on a
Moving forward in life
starwort planted dusty
In a dry and desolate area
Drink some whisky
Trying to cope with my emotions
and it no longer makes me feel like me
But it is no longer a source of comfort
