Description:
This song has been hanging around for over a year - it has been dusted down, shaken off and here it is. The original phrase “My entire soul is spinning” was spoken by Lani - thank you xox Lee (LeeMiguel2004) wrote the music and played the clavinova (thank you Lee - you’re brill x), I did the lyrics, apb added guitar and mixed & fixed - bless you alan and hugs to the beautiful high voice of SlimGirlFat - thank you slimmie xox

Lyrics:
Free To Be My Self

My entire soul is spinning - in a life where i am free
My entire soul is spinning - a second life has set me free
Free to be myself the inner me x 2

It is a second chance - a place where i can dance
Where i can play and sing - do almost anything
There i can fly - i live up in the sky
My soul is spinning free - is this the real me?

My entire soul is spinning - in a life where i am free
My entire soul is spinning - a second life has set me free
Free to be myself the inner me x 2

My life is unconstrained - unhampered - free of pain
I cut loose - i have indeed - I soar now - i am freed
I live a life intense - you took away the fence
With depth of intimacy i am free

My entire soul is spinning - in a life where i am free
My entire soul is spinning - a second life has set me free
Free to be myself the inner me x 2

With dragons i can play and be one everyday
My dreams i can obtain - again and again
There is diversity - creativity
Opportunity to live my fantasy

My entire soul is spinning - in a life where i am free
My entire soul is spinning - a second life has set me free
Free to be myself the inner me

Inspirations mine, empowerment that feels fine
Here before my eyes - it keeps me mesmerised
My first life is enhanced - into the future i’ve advanced
I found you - you found me - together we are free

My entire soul is spinning - in a life where i am free
My entire soul is spinning - second life has set me free
Free to be myself the inner me x2

I hate fade-outs... &mdash 09/20/07 - 10:32:33 AM
(Literal and metaphorical.) So first I'll say that this felt like it should have had Lee a repeated fast-trembly ending chord as you sang the last "meeeee...." as the finale. Secondly, don't fade away into your second life too far, there are a few of us left behind in our glorious first lives who will miss you terribly... well, a dragon at least :-) As for the song, this is great fun, very nice melodies and playing (except for one place that kept me thinking Lee was about to play "Puff the Magic Dragon" :-), and Alan's guitar work is delightful. Your and SGF's singing matched up quite sweetly. This felt like it should be a musical showtune, nice work, all! Think you can get it to be a certain online software company's "theme song"?
ttfn,
Drakonis

spot on mr dragon! &mdash 09/20/07 - 10:42:43 AM
i'm not madly keen on the ending myself but... lee has long moved on and it was this or nuttin'! (When the certain software company buys it we'll re-record!!) Thank you for your comment - you are a mainstay of this community - big loves - me and the bear xoxoxo

Puff the magic dragon on crack. &mdash 09/20/07 - 11:25:39 AM
I was there &mdash 09/20/07 - 01:53:36 PM
I was there, for just one day, but these few short hours gave experience enough for me to understand what you're talking about..

(realized that I would have loved to stay but that I'd never have the capacity to live two lives (am a parent too) so I escaped the temptation and .. here I am .. in RL .. sigh)..

... i was thinking more of ppl who have found themselves in SL in a way that they never could have anywhere else - these worlds fascinate me although i was interested to read that such places are also used to train the military for unfamiliar environments - me? i go there to play 'dress-up' - thank you for dropping by xoxoxox

an incredibly super sweet piece:) &mdash 09/21/07 - 08:28:29 AM
brought a tear to me eye.. *sniffles*.

SO hapy that this one made it out of the coffers and onto the table.. and Slimmies voice stacks incredibly well with you.

Its like listening to cotton candy:)

as my soul spins so does everything else...wheeeee!
..and woot all over ya!

Ah .. &mdash 09/23/07 - 09:46:32 AM

.. that's where this one got to :o) glad to see it doing well.. picture from the 'bear necessities' conference, my bedroom, Castle Von Berger, SL... while I was asleep! lol ...can anyone make out 3 people in the picture? back when I spent most of my SL time running around getting panned ..ah, fun times ..

Yup, we needed a little further assistance from Lee to
brush this one up further (the ending and playing to click).. I should have thrown some
de-essing at it in Logic ...I still hear "accounts I have indeed" and "I live a life in tents" lol ..
might just be moi.

i agree!!! &mdash 09/23/07 - 12:02:41 PM
but... where do i stop having fun and turn the whole thing into a tremendous chore? i cannot bear doing things again and again and being a musician isn't my thing so... it stays as is and i keep enjoying myself but... one day i might change - who knows?!! thank you alan - you are a good friend and an honest critic - yarp!!! xoxoxo

Hmmm... &mdash 09/25/07 - 10:11:26 PM
I always thought you were reasonable, Dame Caroline, but I didn't realize you were... FREE. lol

I think a bit of kazoo would have helped this cute little ditty along. Nope, can never have too much Kazoo. ;)
