We’ve put together a fun photo video of the band’s trip to Easdale Island & Achmore last year which fits in with the lyrics of this classic String Driven Thing track.

EASY TO BE FREE

Would you like to be travelling on a sailing ship at sea,
Out on the waves as they move beneath your feet,
Feeling the wind as it quivers in the sheets,

It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free

Would you like to be leaving your city life behind,
To look for adventure among the South Sea Isles,
If you don’t believe in treasure, then I’ll have to change your mind,
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free.

Would you like to be going somewhere you’ve never been,
Like to be seeing all the things you’ve never seen,
If you don’t believe in magic then you won’t know what I mean,
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free

Would you like to be travelling on a sailing ship at sea,
Out on the waves as they move beneath your feet
Feeling the wind as it quivers in the sheets,
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free
It’s easy to be free
