Piano ballad for freedom
PANARCHY is the vehicle for performing the more progressive rock songs written by Scott Gordon. The band was started by Scott Gordon (keyboards/vocals/guitars)
Welcome to PANARCHY - proof positive that the craft of songwriting - intelligent, poignant lyrics, and innovative but sonorous harmony of voices and instruments - is not dead. PANARCHY is for me what UTOPIA was for Todd Rundgren. A real band for the band, in-between my own acoustic solo performing and recording.

Story behind the song
I wrote this song in as an effort to find hope in troubling circumstances. It's definitely reminiscent of a Carole King or Todd Rundgren playing style, but was actually mostly inspired by an Edgar Winter show in Dallas during which he came out and played a very intense piano ballad that impressed me greatly.
Lyrics
TILL WE'RE FREE 1991 - Seattle WA The trouble in these times it comes as no surprise - We've been living in a falling world – a culture in demise - We've got to look around and try to realize - We've got to spread the truth and cut through all the lies - The Man tells us lies every day - Newspaper says it's got to be that way - Tells us there's no solution anyway - But we're working for a future where we will someday - Be FREE... Be FREE... - Oh my love I think you're right once again - We're really getting nowhere, talking how it should've been - But still it's not too late for us to come to understand - That we cannot be lovers if we can't be friends - And the walls are still standing there - They are really much too high and too wide - Part of the boundaries that we share - Made up of so much foolish pride - We've got to find our way out to the side - Where we're FREE... We'll be FREE... - For every lonely soul who's wandered far from home - For all the children lost and wandering through this world alone - People get together and help this one out - Cut through your depression, put away your doubt - You've got to keep your eyes - On that Freedom - will be our prize - Just forget about your thinking that it can't be done Cause we have got to fight until the victory's won And we're FREE... We'll be FREE - Till We're Free - 1991 - Scott Gordon
