about
I aimed to create a danceable, synthesizer-infused, Pop tune similar to what you might have heard on MTV in the early 80's.
Thematically I wanted it to be positive, light, and reminiscent of the ever-present uplifting vibe during that magical time.
People from all walks of life were out in the open air, celebrating their natural freedoms, roller skating, walking, jogging, playing basketball in Central Park and Venice Beach, California, the girls all wore bright-colored bikini's and most everyone was doing their best to have the leanest physique and the coolest new hairstyle.
lyrics
FREEDOM OF LIFE
There’s some magic out in New York City
Take an adventure on the subway line
Join the Central Park weekend hippies
And exercise your freedoms in the warm sunshine
Dancing in the freedom of life
Rockin’ through this freedom of life
Shinin’ all the love we can find
We are connected on a deeper level
Divine, divine
Down in Venice Beach the days are lazy
Cruising on the bike path all afternoon
Unmistakably the freaks are crazy
Living each day in their own cartoon
Dancing in the freedom of life
Rockin’ through this freedom of life
Shinin’ all the love we can find
We are connected on a deeper level divine
Dancing in the freedom
Working for the freedom
Shinin’ in this freedom
Taking in this freedom of life
Freedom of life
Freedom of life
In the West End of London you can taste the culture
Catch a Covent Garden theater show
In Camden Town the punks are vultures
Busking causal music in the midnight glow
Dancing in the freedom of life
Rockin’ through this freedom of life
Shinin’ all the love we can find
We are connected on a deeper level
Divine, divine, divine, divine
Dancing in the freedom
Working for the freedom
Shinin’ in this freedom
Taking in this freedom of life
Freedom of life
Dancing in the freedom of life
Rockin’ through this freedom of life
Shinin’ all the love we can find
We are connected on a deeper level
Divine - Dancing in the freedom
Divine - Working for the freedom
Divine - Shinin’ in this freedom
Taking in this freedom of life
Freedom of life
Freedom of life
Freedom of life

Female backing vocals were graciously sung by the talented Denisse Ferrara
I got into electronic music while living in London and frequenting “The Ministry of Sound” and other groundbreaking clubs throughout Europe such as the “iT Club” in Amsterdam and “Velfarre” in Tokyo, Japan...more
The tonal quality & balance of the synths vs the drums are absolutely perfect. I also really vibe with the kickback nature of the entire A. The artwork is stunning, I really feel like I'm back in '82! Skyko
This is a couple of years old, but it stands out because of FM Attack's superior production skills. There are also two vocalists featured and some talented guitar work. Highly recommend a purchase! Skyko
