Lou Reed - I'm So Free Lyrics






Yes I am mother nature's son
and I'm the only one
I do what I want and I want what I see
huh, could only happen to me

I'm so free
I'm so free

Oh, please, Saint Germaine
I have come this way
Do you remember the shape I was in
I had horns that bent

I'm so free
I'm so free

Do you remember the silver walks
you used to shiver and I used to talk
Then we went down to Times Square
and ever since I've been hanging around there

I'm so free
I'm so free

Yes I am mother nature's son
and I'm the only one
I do what I want and I want what I see
could only happen to me

I'm so free
I'm so free

Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free
oh, oh, oh, I'm so free
Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free
early in the morning, I'm so free
Late in the evening, I'm so free
yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so free
When I feel good, I'm so free
when it's in the morning, I'm so free
When it's in the evening, I'm so free
I'm so free, I'm so free
I'm so free, I'm so free
feel so good, now, I'm so free
Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free
yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm so free
Oh, oh, oh, I'm so free
feel so good, now, I'm so free
Feel little nice, I'm so free
feel little down, now, I'm so free
You're so free, I'm so free
I'm so free, I'm so free
I'm so free, I'm so free
I'm so free, I'm so free
....

  3. Z.... F....

    156 comments because everybody is actually listening to the great music

  4. R.... J....

    I used to cover this in my band... what a great song and album...and Mick Ronson was just the best on guitar

  5. O.... t....

    He wouldn't be caught dead in times square now.

  6. H.... O....

    Best song ever

  7. H.... O....

    Doesn’t get better then this ... RiP Lou

  8. T.... ....

    Inspired by john inmans catchphrase, little known pop fact!

  9. h.... b....

    My God, Ronson was good!!!

  10. M.... K....

    Life is day by day !! I love Lou!

  11. C.... B....

    Up to Mars with pork and cars....oh that was the other song, oh well , it was a great line from way back in '72. Notice how the two Bowie penned songs seemed so rather "ordinary and run of the mill" to Reed's great Opus of songs. I found that strange. Yet Bowie was instrumental in shaping his clearly visionary and introspective soundscapes. Voila...a masterpiece!

  12. N.... ....

    My favorite music is from out of the 60, 70

  13. R.... B....

    Lou Reed is Rock N' Roll

  14. c.... ....

    whadya mean you miss lou!? HE"S RIGHT FKN HERE - where he always was . in our hearts <3 never met him how could i miss him - i listen to his shit every day --- IN MY HEAD -

  15. T.... T....

    Masterly songwriting from the master songwriter himself. Fun quirky backing vocals by Bowie too.

  16. o.... m....

    im 12 and i listen to this

  17. P.... B....

    posso dire che il grande rimarrà vivo
    come lo era la sua musica
    j' m so free
    lo sono in questo momento

  18. W.... T....

    Gimme it

  19. O.... R....

    I do what I want and I want what I see😉

  20. a.... s....

    Rock n roll animal is the best live album in existence

    a.... s....

    Thanks for the info. I haven't heard it yet cuz I read bad reviews. But I'm gonna check it out now.

  21. S.... P....

    do you remember the shape I was in. I had horns&fins.

    S.... P....

    this line speaks to me too

  22. I.... B....

    What year did this come out? Was it released as a single?

    I.... B....

    What year did it come out? Can't you read, it from out the 60, 70. Just kidding, it's from 1972's Transformer album. Apparently no single, but probably because it's not a good song.

    I.... B....

    @Joseph K Are you kidding, this is a good song

  23. J.... s....

    cut out the coolest part of the guitar solo :(

  24. J.... L....

    music forever

  25. H.... L....

    Description: 'This music is from out the 60,70'
    that was really helpful

    H.... L....

    hahhahaha you killed me!!

    H.... L....

    xx: And he's got purty haar too!

    H.... L....

    Wulbul: Oh be nice. And comb your damn hair (picture). ;-P

  26. G.... S....

    Im one of mother natures sons, not no child of a made up god and i have always been free, and forever will be.

  27. t.... ....

    That's one fuck in hell if a mix. Genius all round. No cunt today comes close. God bless Lou, David and Mick. Ken is still with us I think (13/jan/2016).

    t.... ....

    as is Herbie Flowers.

    t.... ....

    graham findlay Yes, thank the Lord. Legend of a man.

  28. L.... J....

    Look at that video description. "This music is from out the 60,70". Couldn't even be bothered to Google it.

    L.... J....

    Some 12-yr. old, I'd bet.

    L.... J....

    A real musical scholar. At least he posted, but, yeah . . .

  29. p.... ....

    Mick Ronson's guitar playing, arranging, and production on this album were superb.

    p.... ....

    One of my heros! Bowie, and of course Lou on this record, owed him a lot. The outro guitar on this song is quintessential Ronno! Sounds like a jet plane taking off!

    p.... ....

    You 4 don't know ur musik its Dave Grohl on guitar

    p.... ....

    @Paul o Brien That's funny...David Grohl was about 3 or 4 years old at the time of this recording.

    p.... ....

    @Rick Schuhmann thats right, around the time mick ronson was backing bowie.

    p.... ....

    @Paul o Brien That is correct.

  30. G.... B....

    God I love this song.

  31. f.... J....

    I want to be so free as you

  32. D.... F....

    It's so light.............. Genius

  33. M.... N....

    I am free And alive... I will miss your voice forever!!

  34. u.... ....

    " Yes I am mother natures son" aaahhh ha ! R.I.P. Rocker of the Interzone !

    u.... ....

    +ubermench1000 No resting in peace. rocking completely free with the greatest line up of musicians ever

    u.... ....

    @Ricky Rhoades


    i would certainly pay to see a heavenly line up containing lou and john lennon.. not only because of their songwriting mastery and all round epic'ness - but mainly for the overdose of contrary'ness and the battle to see whom would be singing back up to whom 😆

  35. C.... ....

    he injected his freedom

    C.... ....

    exactly

  36. j.... p....

    One of his best

  37. T.... ....

    so glad the music stays with us bro! <3

  38. D.... H....

    Lou Reed, we miss you

  39. S.... B....

    You are now free, but missed by so many!!

    S.... B....

    i dont want to be free-John Cale lyrics
    still alive
    freedom for the young

  40. C.... ....

    Thank you Lou! Now fuck off!

  41. S.... S....

    Love This .... RIP Lou Reed 10/2013 :(

  42. c.... g....

    my speakers were never big enough for this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  43. M.... Z....

    Si può piangere oggi solo per questi grandi che ci hanno accompagnato nelle nostre fredde solitarie notti dei mitici anni settanta fatte di ribellione verso un mondo che dilì a poco sarebbe diventato grottesco, terribile, mortale.
    E' morto il mio fratello maggiore che ho visto all'Arena di Verona in un concerto che non dimenticherò mai.
    Ciao Lou a presto. Arriviamo presto. Cosa facciamo in questo schifo????

  44. m.... ....

    Rock On!

  45. D.... D....

    Sei stato un grande rocker ti ricorderò per sempre

  46. S.... ....

    Rest in Peace

  47. E.... J....

    RIP Lou.

  48. P.... M....

    RIP MISTER LOU REED

  49. N.... ....

    R.I.P Lou

  50. Z.... F....

    R.I.P Lou :(

  51. A.... F....

    now you're really free :( R.I.P

  52. S.... ....

    No fucking idea how people get "I had horns that bent" and put them in lyrics sheets. It's plainly, obviously "I had horns and fins".

    S.... ....

    Lou Reed never provided lyrics on the albums

  53. h.... ....

    RONNO!

  54. h.... ....

    Well, the original post was gone, but he was saying Lou Reed was largely shit without a good producer, like Bowie on this album. I was saying that while a few of his albums can be rather pretentious (it is Lou Reed, he is pretentious, but he does have the right to be at this point), plenty of his other albums are fantastic, including New York, which I personally love.

  55. G.... M....

    this record was when david bowie and producer mick ronson helped lou get back to his career ;)

  56. G.... M....

    i'd like to know what you mean by pretentious, i think new york album is far more commercial, vu albums were experimental stuff and avant garde pop...

  57. y.... d....

    I LOVE IT....terrayogie1

  58. A.... ....

    oh come on! how did that comment get so many negative votes? what's wrong with it? i just meant that lou is really cool and it would be great to hang out with him.

  59. A.... ....

    i really want to go back to the sixties, and smoke a cigarette with lou reed. in an alley behind the factory.

  60. h.... ....

    While, to be honest, several of his post Velvet albums are rather pretentious, and not all that great, there are several other gems that showcase his talent, like New York, which was much later, so don't lay too much credit on the producer.

  61. J.... H....

    who the f#@# is mick ronson?...... he did all the arranging on songs that strayed,played all the piano and guitar and was ziggy effin stardust...also randy rhoads borrowed his classiness and vest and les paul...arrgueably his album m effer...lol

  62. J.... H....

    he feels it ..f#%$ his "talent" he feels it ..it has genuine honesty therein while purposely remaining unrefined ....if a mf feels it they dont NEED you to. .......however they need you to,if they need money (fer drugs yeper).if i didnt know him .id get him high to play a few......my fav L.R. song btmfw

  63. m.... m....

    do know any tabas for sOL0

  64. a.... ....

    david bowie helped out. the velvet underground years were the best. i am so free finally. do not have to work, and love it every day. think i will ride my bike now. peace and love.

  65. r.... ....

    The main reason it's so good is because it's by Lou Reed

  66. I.... O....

    oh, you're so cool... shaddup...

  67. w.... d....

    A ME GARBA DIMORTO LA GNOCCA, E LOU REED e anche se lo pigliava
