Free as a Bird was essentially a novelty single designed to attract attention to the Anthology project. The novelty was that it would be the first new Beatle single in 25 years.
This song was built around a discarded song by John (circa 1977). The recording began when Paul wished Yoko Lennon a happy new year in 1994. Yoko offerred three of John's songs when the possibility of the remaining Beatles working together again was proposed.
In Feb & Mar 1994, Paul started recording, using John's original cassette and digitally remastered the sound.
It reached no 2 in the British and no 6 in US.
Lyrics
Free as a bird,
it's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to
the lifes that we once knew?
Can we really live without each other?
Where did we lose the touch
that seemed to mean so much?
It always made me feel so...
Free as a bird,
like the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Home, home and dry,
like a homing bird I'll fly
as a bird on wings.
Whatever happened to
the life that we once knew?
Always made me feel so free.
Free as a bird.
It's the next best thing to be.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.
Free as a bird.
