Track 10 from forthcoming Wendy James 10th album The Shape Of History

Wendy: “I had recently watched Transvision Vamp performing ‘Trash City’ live in Hamburg, Germany and the sequencers were so pulsing and exiting, enormous sounding. I’d also had my mind blown by the music of Sebastian for the runway of the Saint Laurent fashion shows in Paris. Very operatic, very orchestral, somehow very ’80’s. I grew up, musically, in the age of the sequencer, drawn into the future by Ridley Scott’s movie ‘Bladerunner’. Futuristic, glamorous in seedy kind of way, overcrowded and the high skyscrapers, where the masters of the universe observed and policed down below. Also: Polanski’s movie ‘Frantic’, Beineix’s movie ‘Diva’, European dark electro and Klaus Nomi ‘The Cold Song’. I wrote ‘Freedomsville’ on guitar like all my songs, in the end I didn’t use sequencers at all, it’s all real humans playing very rhythmically on repeat for 6 minutes straight. I also like the lyrical sleight of hand, in Verse 2 I’m singing about orphans and refugees, it’s not an obvious lyric for a hi tempo electro.” 

Lyrics 

Deep inside, Deep inside

Laughing and singing cowboy rhythms
Learning to love, learning to love
You can’t measure life
Without learning to love, learning to love

C’mon C’mon C’mon
C’mon and dance with me
It’s easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy
This is Freedomsville, man
C’mon and dance with me
It’s easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy

Deep inside, Deep inside

When I move my hips
When I move my eyes
In a certain way
I know it all by heart

When I’m just going on a smile
When I close my eyes
A very delicate touch
I know it all by heart

Freedomsville

Deep inside, Deep inside

The orphans, the unemployed
The refugees, the unhappy in love
Life is so hard sometimes
When you think you got it made
You just need to be wanted, need to be loved

C’mon C’mon C’mon
C’mon and dance with me
It’s easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy
This is Freedomsville, man
C’mon and dance with me
It’s easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy

C’mon C’mon C’mon
C’mon and dance with me
It’s easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy
This is Freedomsville, man
C’mon and dance with me
It’s easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy easy

When you move your hips
When you move your eyes
In a certain way
You know it all by heart

When you’re just going on a smile
When you close your eyes
A very delicate touch
You know it all by heart

Freedomsville

Music coming through
I know it all by heart
Music coming through
I know it all by heart
Music coming through
I know it all by heart
Music coming through
I know it all by heart
Music coming through
I know it all by heart
Music coming through
I know it all by heart
