LyricsYou ain’t ever baby gonna find meYou ain’t never gonna track me downHeard it said you want a piece of the action- gimme actionHeard it said you trying to take me down- don’t bring me down
I am nowhere I am everywhere I am free I’m unboundI am emotion I am instinct I am music I am sound
No one ever said it was gonna be easyYou ain’t prepared to bleed? Just wasting timeWe pay our dues and maybe baby then someWhen the Hurricane comes, look ‘em right in the eyes
I am nowhere I am everywhere I am free I’m unboundI am emotion I am instinct I am music I am sound
Ain’t no need to go and get religionDon’t waste time with people that’ll put you downYou’re cash money babe, you just can’t see itTake my word ‘cause I’ve been around
I am nowhere I am everywhere I am free I’m unboundI am emotion I am instinct I am music I am sound
Never, never, ever settle for a substitutionMy fire burns bright, & lasts twice as longNows your chance to get a taste of the real thingStep right up in here where you belong
I am nowhere I am everywhere I am free I’m unboundI am emotion I am instinct I am music I am sound
About the SongOne recurring theme in my songwriting is to speak in tongues. To speak on behalf of all the uncontrollable elements that surround us. If you can learn to hear this voice, teach yourself how to decipher the language, it will serve you well as a songwriter. In Unbound, the singer becomes the personification of the forces of nature which are locked up inside the human spirit. These forces are embattled in a continuous effort to free themselves. This song was written as fast as I could write the words down.
About the DayDays rarely get any better than these. It was a fine June Saturday in Carlsbad, California and it was a perfect way to say goodby to family, friends, and the band. In a few days I would be gone: flying off to Greece for the remainder of the month, then coming back stateside for a family reunion in Upstate New York.
My oldest just graduated Carlsbad High, kids were out in numbers, the summer was in full effect. Everyone was out in full force. To meet the crowd, we had a bunch of new material. We played 4 songs that we had never really played as arranged that night before, but we were feeling it. We had just finished programming the new Nord Stage 4 we picked up of the keyboard player, Mike Pritchard. Thus the reason why the keys sound like an interstellar spaceship.
