At the time the tracks charted some thought it was recorded by Donna Summer because they thought that "Harmony" sounded like Summers' 1977 hit "I Feel Love." That confusion alone may have fueled the song's climb to the top of the Dance chart.
Prior to her singing career, she had success as a model with the Ford Agency in New York City. She was involved in an automobile accident after her album became a hit.
Free Me
Suzi Lane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I thought it would be easy (so glad, so glad)
But trying to forget you
Made me just regret you (so sad, sad)
Free me
Free me from your loving
Free me
The longer we're apart
The more it hurts my heart
Spending all my days in reverie
Try to shake your shadow
Try to make it leave
Oh, won't you come back and free me
Now that I'm without you
I've found out what's about you (too late, too late)
Babe, if you won't come back
At least take all your love back (heartbreak, heartbreak)
Every single second seems sure like on home
And yesterday at least a year from here
Hoping and scheming for something that is missing
Oh, won't you come back and free me
Free me from the memory
Free me, take these chains right off me
The song "Free Me" by Suzi Lane highlights the pain and agony that comes with heartbreak and the longing for an ex-lover to return. She starts by expressing how she thought the process of letting go would be easy but she ended up regretting the decision. She then pleads with her ex-lover to "free" her from the love that she still has for him, begging him to come back to her. The longer they are apart, the more she feels the hurt and pain he caused her, spending her days daydreaming about him and trying to shake his shadow. She expresses that everything feels different without him and that she has come to realize that he meant so much to her. The song is generally a cry for love and an expression of pain at the loss of a once-cherished love.
