Matt Munro's "Born Free" - The Best Theme Song for Freedom Lovers?

in #music7 years ago (edited)

Born Free" is a popular song with music by John Barry, and lyrics by Don Black. It was written for the 1966 film of the same name and won an Academy Award for Best Original Song.

Lyricist Don Black managed British singer Matt Monro at the time, and he and Barry asked him to record the song for the film's soundtrack. The producers of the film considered the song uncommercial, however, and deleted it from the print shown at its Royal Command premiere in London. When Monro, who attended the event, made Black aware of the edit, they lobbied the producers to restore it, citing the burgeoning commercial success of the song. Monro's interpretation appeared over the closing credits in a shortened version recorded especially for the film, which enabled it to qualify for the Academy Award. Monro's complete commercial recording was released on the film's soundtrack album and became the singer's signature tune for the remainder of his career.

I have read some posts/articles about anarchy or against government/centralization here in Steemit and I think that the late great Matt Munro's "Born Free" is the ultimate theme song for freedom lovers everywhere! WTF, if I was going to create a country that is all about true freedom and democracy, then this song is going to be that created country's national anthem.

An oldie but a goodie. This beautiful, timeless song is all about freedom from government control and being able to live the life you desire. I mean you gotta listen to the song or just read the meaningful lyrics on the video.

Big thanks to Eliz MaLind for uploading this nice music video on Youtube.

It would be a better world for us to to live where we are really free and not being hindered by walls and borders.

Not for me... I'll go with Street Fightin Man by the Stones!

Yes, but is not as romantic and you can't sing that rock song without music.

My voice is so bad it doesn't matter what I sing!
