Story Behind The Song

Inspired by hard hitting psychedelic rock bands like Led Zeppelin and Cream, "Love Is Free" was an effort to re-capture that energy and attitude through catchy guitar riffs and a pounding rhythm section. As with most of Matthew C. Bauder's songs it all started with the simple guitar riff that fuels the verses and grew from there. Lyrics were later added and the full vocal version became the second track on Alien Mustache's(Matthew C. Bauder's sometimes used alias)third self released album, Magnitude which was remastered and re-released in 2020.

Song Description

Simple but powerful, featuring gritty guitars, ambient Rhodes Piano and pounding bass and drums, Love is Free has a frenzied hypnotic feel that keeps the listener's head bobbing 'til the end.

Lyrics

I keep on runnin' 'til the day is done.
I won't stop until I've had my fun
With you girl makin' me feel,
Things I've never felt before it's so unreal.

I'm buzzin' babe like a honey bee.
Honey won't you give a little love to me.
Gonna take ya down to my honey tree.
Just a little taste and you'll be on your knees.

You and me, baby. Love is free.

Your love girl is makin' me high.
Feel so good yeah I never wanna die.
I can't hide the way I feel inside
Lips all drippin' like a slip 'n' slide.

Kissin' me here, huggin' me there
Baby, won't you be my little honey bear.
Scratch and bite baby, I don't care.
Lovin' is the only thing we need to share.

You and me, baby. Love is free.

Now it's alright baby, take your time,
There's no hurry when the lovin's fine.
Kisses so sweet, like cherry wine.
Baby, won't you be my little Valentine.

Huggin' me here, kissin' me there.
Baby, I can tell you got quite a flair.
Break me, shake me everywhere.
Lovin' is the only thing we need to share.

You and me, baby. Love is free.
