We worked out of a basement studio in my house on Orgould st.in Flint Michigan between 1975 and 1981. We only played original music. We called our music FREEDOM
This was a Freedom Rock Band from Flint, Michigan starting in 1975 and ending in 1981.
Story behind the song
This was the bands first song. And actually started the band "Pursuit". After Dave Harrel got me in touch with Rick Cussans we decided if I could write a song we would give it a try. I had an easel set up on my work bench at The Buick plant factory #04. I was directly across the chassis line from David. This was where I also taught him music theory. I was on night shift just previous to our meeting on day shift. I was depressed about a dog "Duchess" that we had in our family that I took to the humane society because this was the dog from hell. We had gotten this dog from my wifes uncle Ken. In order to make a change to my state of mind I put in for a transfer to day shift that night. So I guess that dog from hell placed me on the path that I have been on ever since. Anyways back to the song. After four days I had this song ready to try out and the rest is history.
Lyrics
Do you feel it changin', every day, the world around you, in each and every way, well don't you think so, I think you want too, so can you tell me, just what we need too do, do we have the power, to stop the war, this generation is tired of being bored, do we have the knowledge to do our part, and the love required, just pull it from your heart, just pull it from your heart, you got to feel it, deep inside, to take the bad, and make it hide, the time is right, the mood is set, so get on up and place your bet, place your bet, you haven't lost yet, just place your bet, if you need love, you've got to give love, and all I ask is that you try to give some, you may feel stepped on and mistreated, but in the end, you'll get whats really needed, the power to keep on searchin, even though the world around is perching, on the brink of devastation, you'll find your love in rehabilitation, the world is waiting just for you, to stand on up and be the one to chose, be the ones to choose, it's all up to you, be the ones to choose, it's all up to you, yeah!,
