Story Behind The Song
The story is from the artist's experience with relationships and having to grapple with her battles between the heart and the mind.
Song Description
The song starts with a "drum and bass" dance sound and ethereal vocal. It quickly moves to a Brazilian samba for the chorus, which is hooky and beautifully layered with background harmonies.
The final section is a samba-style jam with Latin piano montuno expertly played by the producer.
The percussion is richly layered and the vocals float on top reminiscent of an earlier style of rock and roll and brazilian music

Lyrics
Free My Mind
A. How can you drive me so crazy
when you feel so good next to me
How can you make me want to walk out
When I?m healed by your body
How can your mouth say the wrong thing
When your lips taste like honey
And how can I hate you in the morning
but in the night
In the night
B. In my dreams,
I would live in silence
Always see through twilight
I know what?s on your mind
And we?re thinking along the same lines
A. How can your conversations bore me
And yet I find your face so adoring
All I want to do is break up
But Then I see you there and I make up
You make me feel so twisted inside
I don?t know where my real feelings hide
But in the night
B. In my dreams
I never wake up in a bad mood
I never look down on you
I would only see the light shine through and through
I just wish all of this were true
I have to let this feeling flow
Don?t let my mind speak for my soul....
C. Free my mind don?t let it take control
Repeat
