This follows on from last week, and presents an uplifting version of I Want to be Free.

This is much closer in spirit to the original that I made so long ago, with the full melody and ear candy.

The original track holds special memories for me. I created it back in 2006, on a laptop, whilst staying in an empty (and particularly cold) house that belonged to a friend of a friend. . In between writing music, I found some wonderful places to explore. The Lake District has some amazing walks and mountains, and my favourite of these is Helvellyn. You can approach the peak in a few different ways – some easier than others. The hardest and easily the most magical is across the Striding Edge, which you’re looking back out over in the photograph.

It was crisp and cold and beautiful, and as I traversed along the icy ridge, I was haunted by little snippets of the melody in this track.
