After November’s 2020s release of Run For Their Money and lockdown still in full force in the UK, Alistair got his hands on some basic home recording gear and was able to create demos with the idea of returning to ‘proper recording’ when Covid restrictions were lifted. Fortunately, after plenty of playing around Just Wanna’ Be Free was born and Alistair felt it had to be released. With the exception of drums, performed by Paddy Jordan (who also mixed the track), what you hear is essentially the demo. 

Just Wanna Be Free is a track that speaks about being stuck in one place but wanting to be somewhere else and questions a return to normality through the opening line ‘do you think you’ll get the chance to love again?’. Covid aside, the song also ties in this thought around relationships, work and general life through more lyrics like ‘what does your heart desire? What does your mind really need?’
