about

When I’m feeling like hot garbage, I find that walking in the hills with a loved one can be one of the best salves. Free To Roam was half a song for a long time, I had the verses but was struggling for a chorus. Around the same time, I had written a silly song about my love of Sonic the Hedgehog with the chorus “blue, beautiful blue”. I shoehorned it in and by God it worked.

lyrics

Nobody wants to be alone
But nobody dares to leave their homes
Everybody must be free to roam
Where their hearts desire and music freely flows
Who’d have thought that it would be like this
People like islands only destined to miss
As for me I’m chilled to the bones
For the wind that pulls me it still freely blows

Blue beautiful blue
Blue beautiful blue
I hate it when the thoughts inside your mind
Reflect the colour of my eyes

Let’s go out for the afternoon
You can drive cos I never learned to
Head out to the hills with the city just in view
Turn on the stereo sing our favourite tunes
As for me I’m chilled to the bones
For the wind that pulls me it still freely blows

Blue beautiful blue
Blue beautiful blue
Blue beautiful blue
Blue beautiful blue

I hate it when the thoughts inside your mind
Reflect the colour of my eyes
