about

I wrote this in the English countryside during a particularly strong William Blake phase. The force of the music and melody contrasts the lovely summer day that inspired me. As an indie artist, I think about how Mr. Blake was not a big hit in his day, yet more than 100 years later influenced the Art Nouveau movement. Kind of mind blowing.

lyrics

In Blake’s England I sit
I’m totally free ‘cause nobody knows me
In Blake’s England I sit
Alone with my mind I make love to my rhyme

Don’t bring me down, down, down
Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, down, down
Don’t bring me down

In Blake’s England I sit
A deafening roar, I hunger for more
In Blake’s England I sit
In perfect time, I make love to my mind

Don’t bring me down, down, down
Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, down, down
Don’t bring me down

Could you ever be free like me
Could you ever be free like me

In Blake’s England I sit
To drink up this land with the palm of my hand
In Blake’s England I sit
I’m totally free ‘cause nobody knows me

Don’t bring me down, down, down
Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, down, down
Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, down, down
Don’t bring me down
Don’t bring me down, down, down
Don’t bring me down

Could you ever be free like me
Could you ever be free like me
