Asia - Free Lyrics

latest endeavors in study: captivity and emancipation slavery and freedom....

Love this band and though this Album has only a few of the classic members on it, IT IS MY FAVOURITE and amazing down to the last song! LOVE IT!

I prefer the original ASIA lead singer.

Excellent

Epic!!!!

Freeeeeeeeeee - from the corrupt EU. Long live an independent United Kingdom 🇬🇧

Asia painting with sound.

Dedicated to a Free United Kingdom from the EU 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧👍

Free from the corrupt EU 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

this is cyberpunk as hell

13 morons who wouldn't know good music if it slapped them in the face, this song is badass

SORE=A ;   MENTAL FREEDOM, WISDOM STOLEN, ALL IS LAW WITNESS

I, for mye sake, listened to this and love it very much. But mostly to await John Wettons comeback. "A great tribute band" for the original Asia, but I am very happy for this music. Have all the CDs, of course. Everything changed now that JW died. Im still shocked about this. The setting is that Asia is over. Thats the worst of it all.

Waw.very very good song.salutations from morocco

Waw.very very good song.salutations from morocco

A real hit! im spanish fan from this progressive group!

One of the best Asia songs. I'll always love this song, not only for the music, but for the message.

this song from asia is very epic from beginning to the end and under the gun is very good as well asia you guys did it again well done boys.

Ich never can't decide who is better...Payne or Wetton.
I think both are brillant.

R.I.P. John.. we have lost you now. <3

John Wetton was the voice of Asia, Payne a good replacement

buen tema

Brexit - free from EU

Asia meets Saga! What a lovely adventure.

This sounds like saga, and the lead singer John Wetton.

una de las mejores canciones de Asia.Melodia,sonido,solo de guitarra,teclados.Casi perfecta.

One of my favourites and one of Asia's feat. John Payne best songs ever !

this song is wicked

@MrPizza063 wicked means good and nasty can mean nice.

Phenomenal epic from the excellent Aura LP in 2001. "Free' features Steve Howe, Pat Thrall and Saga's Ian Crichton all jamming on guitar with Simon Phillips on drums. WOW! On the tour, Guthrie Govan had taken over and he wailed on the whole track handling ALL the guitar parts. Another genius.

ASIA-YES-ELOY-BOSTON-GENTLE GIANT-ALAN PARSON-KING CRIMSON-RICK WAKEMAN-EMERSON LAKE AND PALMER-PINK FLOYD. WHAT CAN I SAY? THE MUSIC OF MY SOUL, THE MUSIC OF MY LIFE.

@Jayson Neal Yes! Of course my friend.

Love the sheer energy of this...   \m/   (:o)

Payne, thank you for rising Asia to the likes of Yes and Alan Parsons.

Der Asia-Sound ist einfach geil.

Simply awesome -even saw em do it live at the limelight club in Crewe  unforgettable

I've always been disappointed in anything Asia until this song. Very nice

Really , most there songs seem like master Pieces , Listen to time will tell , Its (In my opinion) There top 5 song

Rich Faille in anything you are included Wetton era?

Epic!!!

From John Payne's era, Aura & Aria are my favorite albums.

очень хорошая музыка

one of their best from the Payne era.. Pat Thrall rocks!

Another hidden gem (to me at any rate) from the John Payne era.  Couldn't find the album Aura on iTunes or the song.  I loved the album Aqua.  Who Will Stop the Rain, Someday, Love Under Fire and The Voice of Reason are four of the great cuts. 

go on Amazon.com to find the asia cds and this album i have this cd and this is one of the best in my book.

Not guthrie govan plays this song is pat thrall

noo Steve howe of asia play's on this one.

This song kicks so much ass! Love it!

It's a mix of all 3 players - Guthrie Govan, Steve Howe and Ian Crichton.

(scratches head) You guys said in an old Armada issue this had been performed by Pat Thrall and recorded remotely from the US.

3 guitarists this one - Guthrie Govan, Steve Howe and Ian Crichton of SAGA.

Are you saying that... this is not Guthrie Govan?

Endup is pretty fucking amazing

all the best songs give me goosebumps the first time i listen to them, this is one of those......

Wonderful piece ! Fantastic John Payne !!!

Thanks for posting this great album!

Thanks everyone for the support - check out our NEW single "Seasons Will Change" on our official channel.

Steve Howe did play some guitars in that middle section, well spotted!

This and "Kings" are my two favorites from Aura hands down. The whole album is a damn masterpiece though.

Well, that's just not so. Brian Johnson, the lead singer of AC/DC allegedly found his voice during an early performance with that band, whilst having an attack of appendicitis.

Frankly, I would pay to see John Payne's Asia if he were to sing just like Paul Lynde did in "Bye-Bye Birdie" on the song "Kids", and if there was at least one 15 minute set where he delivered the songs in spoken-word style, like Rod McKuen --- perhaps with bongo drums accompanying him.

The rumor is that John Payne wanted to deliver the vocals in a Mr. Rogers/Paul Lynde/RodMcKuen hybrid style. Geoff Downes allegedly asked Payne whether he could narrow it down to Paul Lynde's sound, but while having an acute bout of appendicitis. No one had ever done that before, and there you have it.

truth be told the two JOHNs could not be more polar opposite, Wetton in a classic pristine vocalist with a pure as refined sugar voice, john payne flat out ''just sounds horrible'' he sounds like some vegas lounge act or some guy on a cruise ship he mangles every note its just god awful how they tried to replace JW with payne, i actually paid a guy in a studio to strip and remove the payne vocals from all the ASIA songs he did with them, now i just listen to the music only versions !

Dude, your heart literally shook?

Great song!

Free's always good

Though I prefer John Wetton's vocals, this one's really cool and the instrumental part is excellent, it almost sounds that Steve Howe is on guitars!

He is.
(Not much, though)

Good Idea to put the solo of Ian Crichton, spacy in the middle, when Asia says hello to Saga, just a studio session like a little fun probably. Remembers me some old Saga stuff also...even if each of the bands have their own stamp.

The Gutherie Govan Album!

Just getting into Asia, fun stuff

Complete

Ian Crichton of Saga on guitar along with Thrall and Howe, doesn't get much better. :-)

Fantastic piece ! Fantastic John Payne !!!

Excellent, excellent album - this track in particular with the songwriting skills of John Payne/Geoff Downes combined with Steve Howe and Simon Phillips... Nothing less than brilliant!!

Simon Phillips on drums.

que puedo decir solo master,master y los mejores, que rolas ya lo dije en su era john.. es el mejor y la misica es celestial grandiosa orale nestor escucha esto no se te olvidan estos weyes andrez,oscar,luiz,isma,may,(no tan aca),rene, y yo..vas aca-2011¡¡a.n.d.¡¡

Along with "Who Will Stop The Rain?", this is the high point of the "Payne Years"...Both tracks feature guest appearances by Steve Howe...coincidence ???

"Aura" along with "Aqua" are the definitive John Payne led Asia albums...

Kudos to these works having been given, I'm absolutely 100 % glad that the original four are back together and still making quality music...

To those pundits who deny Asia their just place in music history, you don't know what you're missing !

I've heard most Asia albums but none have grabbed me like Aura. This song in particular takes you on an amazing journey, I never get sick of it. What a wonderful thing good music really is!!

Payne blows away Wetton. Any thoughts?

This is my anthem!

Asia is free at last! Long live ASIA!

One of the most underrated rock bands, especially in the `90s, when in my opinion rock music has been in its baddest condition. Was on a live gig in april 2010, this was with the original 82' musicans, but also very powerful and extraordinary. i love asia =) . and john payne was a very good choise for this band, one of the best rock singers, i would liked to see him now in the front of the band saga. (sorry for a bad englisch, i am from germany ;)

bueeno muy buuuueno¡

There is not a bad song on this CD. However, I think this is the number 1 song. Amazing, that's all I can say

I have no words to describe this track...but all i can say at this point of time is that It's one of the best songs I've ever heard in my life....It's like a magical experience!

I've been a true fan of Asia since the beginning. Although I prefer John Wetton at the helm, I love John Payne too. "Free", I think, is the most powerful song I have ever heard. During the climax of this song, my heart litterally shook with emotion. What an awesome anthem this is. What this song does still amazes me today. When you listen to it, turn it up loud...!!!! Tbank you, Asia.
