Dawes - Free As We Wanna Be (Acoustic)

Played "Free As We Wanna Be" for Democracy Comes Alive a few weeks back, a one-day virtual music festival to get out the vote presented by Live For Live Music in partnership with HeadCount.

It's a song about striving for balance in a technologically hyper-connected world, but maybe the lyrics have taken on additional meaning for some before this election.

Please #VOTE and make yourself heard on November 3rd!

Our technology advancements have created a world in which we are constantly sold to, constantly monitored and constantly having our information passed around. It can be terrifying and I also can understand the feeling that our hands are tied - that this is the price of admission to live in the modern world. But to some degree, I feel compelled to acknowledge my culpability. I don’t HAVE to take my phone with me everywhere I go, I don’t have to have it on all the time, I don’t have to be so constantly available. It’s a matter of finding a line that I’m comfortable with but knowing I’m nowhere near it.

Lyrics:
If I cant see the ways they’re selling to me
I might miss something that I need
If I don’t look up from the mirror in my hands
I’m gonna miss what’s on tv

We’re as free as we wanna be
We’re as free as we wanna be

There’s proof that they’ve been following me
But I don’t throw ‘em off the scent
There’s proof now that me life is not my own
Which I’ve done nothing to prevent

CHORUS

And when the dream becomes a nightmare
When the hardware meets the software
We’ll see how ugly this can get
Cause if the basis of our grievance
Doesn’t outweigh the convenience

Then they already won the bet

CHORUS
