Sarah Brightman - Free

Sarah Brightman might be the most talented vocalist alive. She is an accomplished opera singer yet also capable of a more "popular" sound.

From the album Harem, "Free" is an ethereal, beautiful song, though it does end a little abruptly. It lies more in the popular realm than in the musical/opera genre she is more well-known for. Be sure to listen for the violin.

It's a little hard to think critically about this song, because it's just so captivating. The story it tells is one of human nature - wanting something other than what you've got.
