‘On Free’ is a funk track inspired by Tim Maia, one of Brazil’s greatest musical artists. Its lyrics pay tribute to the freedom of being, challenging the status quo, material possessions, and the pursuit of wealth. The line, 'Your many millions are of no use, living behind walls, locking up gates,' serves as a cautionary message against becoming accustomed to living in confinement in exchange for peace. The song also honors the legacy of Tim Maia's classic work, ‘Rational Culture.’

On Free 

All your millions, they don’t make you wise  
Locked behind walls, where your freedom dies  
Scared of the young, of the love, of the real  
What’s the use of the gold  
If you forget how to feel?  
Just be...  
On Free  

 
Trapped in a world so square and so tight  
Chasing the power, the praise, and the fight  
Step out the frame, let your soul take the lead  
Peace is the power,  
That’s all that you need  
Just be...  
On Free  

  
Tired of life on the same old track  
Bills and control always watching your back  
Time don’t wait, it’ll knock at your door  
Ask what you lived for —  
Don’t wait for more  
Just be...  
On Free  

*****************PORTUGUES

On free é um funk inspirado em Tim Maia, um dos maiores artistas brasileiros. Trás na letra uma homenagem a liberdade do ser, em detrimento ao status quo, a posse e ao dinheiro. "De nada adianta, seus tantos milhões, vivendo entre muros, trancando portões." é um alerta para não nos acostumarmos a viver trancados para termos paz. Faz também uma homenagem ao clássico do Tim Maia 'Rational Culture'.

On Free

De nada adianta, seu tantos milhões
Vivendo entre muros, trancando portões
Com medo do novo, do jovem e do bom
De nada adianta, o importante é estar
On Free

Focado no mundo, quadrado e bundão
De ter, de poder
De querer ter razão
Sai dessa, vislumbra, o bom é ter paz
No mais, sem penumbra, o importante é estar
On Free

Cansado da vida, padrão e normal
De medo, boleto, controle total
E o tempo não para, depois vai cobrar
Os dias da vida, o que importa é estar 
On free

Mic check
One, two
Story about to unfold
Soundcloud Veteran vanished,
now the truth gets told
Why the ghost? 
Why the silence?
What made them disappear?
Was it the pressure cooker, fuelled by doubt and fear?
Creative burnout, the fire turned to ash
The constant grind, 
a never ending dash
Passion faded,
the joy took flight
Needed space to breathe,
escape the digital night
Or maybe the sound shifted
the vibe took a turn
Old tracks felt dusty, lessons they had learned

Frustration with the past,
a sonic divide
A new direction calling,
nowhere left to hide.

That's the "why"
of the exit, the reason for the fade
A chapter closed, a different path they made
But hold up, wait a minute, the story, ain't done
Cause a new profile's poppin, a brand new sun

Now the comeback question
the reason they ignite
What sparked the flame again, burning ever so bright?
Renewed inspiration, or a bad conscious
a melody in the soul

A creative breakthrough taking back control

Nostalgia for the rhythm, the community's embrace
Missing that connection,
longing for 

A new message bring,
tearing their world apart 
Unfinished business, lingering
a story left  untold
Reclaiming their voice brave and bold

Thats the "why" of the exit
the reason for the fade
A chapter closed, a different path they made
But hold up, wait a minute
the story ain't done
But why the fresh account the brand new name?
Leaving the old profile lost in the digital game
A clean slate strategy, breaking from the past
No old baggage weighing, built to truly last

New branding, new visuals a whole different vibe
Targeting new listeners, watching the numbers climb
Could be technical glitches, a password gone astray
So they hit the reset button, a digital rebirth
Planting new roots, deep in the Soundcloud earth

Yeah the "why" is layered, complex and deep
From the reasons they left to the promises they keep
A Soundcloud saga, a comeback in the making
Keep your ears peeled, the new sound's awakening?  Word

REBOOT

My diabolical behavior 
Have you ever felt a butterflies wings
Do you feel safe today
I think so
I don’t know

LYRICS

I am the betrayer
I've made mistakes that's true
But I'm done with the lies
Because the love we have is true
I needed attention
All the others follow through
Can't look in your eyes
I've turned it into a lie

Don't follow me
Don't follow me
I'm still in need
The Betrayer
Don't follow me
The Betrayer

I'm the betrayer
Don't trust me I've lied to you
Don't know what to say
To make this up to you
I need your attention
All the others they are through
Can't look in your eyes
You hate me and then I die
Hate me then I die
You hate me then I die

Don't follow me
Don't follow me
I'm still in need
The Betrayer
Don't follow me
The Betrayer

I fear it's over
And I fear it's soon
And I fear it's over
I fear it's coming soon
And I fear it's over
I fear it's over
Over

The Betrayer

The latest Texas Tea monster is loose.  This one started with a cool funky stroll inside of Terry's world and I enhanced it with some e-bow and a nice side of distorted groove here and there.  Terry with the composition, synth, beats and mix and me on the guitar machine.
