Free Friday (“FL&R”) – March 17

     Free and Legal Downloads? Yes, at least temporarily. Bands often temporarily permit free downloads of their releases.  The end of an offer may be based on the expiration of a set period of time or on a limited number of downloads.  But at least for now, here are songs that qualify as Free, Legal and Recommended (FL&R) downloads.
     Finding songs that can be legally downloaded is easy. The difficult task is to find legally downloadable music that we recommend. Our plan is to post at least one FL&R song each Friday.
     Water Color Weekend is a 5-member band in Oakdale, California. Their song “Strawberry (State of Mind)” is available on a name-your-price basis. They are Davis Harper (lead vocal,, guitar), Nick McElmurry (trombone, synth, vocal), Michael Hoffman (bass), Jacob Gilmore (drums), and Norris Turnidge (guitar).

     “Moving as One” was posted on January 10, but that was before KEXP in Seattle made it their free song of the day (KEXP is consistently amazing). The song is our favorite of the year, so far. The KEXP page to search is http://feeds.kexp.org/kexp/songoftheday.


Lyrics of "Moving as One" by Loyal
So gather what you need and meet me by the ashes of the tree
So gather what you need and meet me by the ashes of the tree
So gather what you need and breath, we’ll gather what we need and breath
We’ll move as one.

The paint they used to fool you, we now use to smear across our face
We’ll move as one.
The coins they made to hold you, we now melt.
We’ll move as one.

Closed eyes, instincts lead, each touch, we’ll grow strong
Closed eyes, instincts lead, each touch, we’ll grow strong
As long as we’re moving as one.

Closed eyes, instincts lead, each touch, we’ll grow strong
Closed eyes (find peace),
Instincts lead (with war),
Each touch (keep us),
We’ll grow strong (awake)
As long as we’re moving as one
As long as we’re moving as one.

Closed eyes, instincts lead, each touch, we’ll grow strong
Closed eyes, instincts lead, each touch, we’ll grow strong

Closed eyes (find peace),
Instincts lead (with war),
Each touch (keep us),
We’ll grow strong (awake).
[Repeat 4x]

Closed eyes (find peace),
Instincts lead (with war),
Each touch (keep us),
Keeps us through the night.

Our heat,
Keeps us through the night

As long as we’re moving as one!

Our heat
As long as we’re moving as one.
Our heat
As long as we’re moving as one.
As long as we’re moving as one.
As long as we’re moving as one.

Our heat,
Keeps us through the night
Our heat,
As long as we’re moving as one.
As long as we’re moving as one.
As long as we’re moving as one.
