En sang om å miste en kjær til AIDS...

Noe jeg på ingen måte har opplevd selv, men jeg fikk av en eller annen grunn lyst til å skrive en sang om det. Dette var vel i 1996-97 en gang, den gang bandet mitt kalte seg *Smudge* og laget en CD som het *Flabbergasted*.

Synes Tor Sindre tryller frem en hjerteskjærende gitarsolo etter andre refreng som virkelig formidler stemningen perfekt...

For øvrig litt overdreven bruk av klang på vokalen, men hey - vi gjorde vårt beste :-)

### **Desperately Free**

I'm lookin' at her sleepin'  
listening to her breath  
looks like she's been weepin'  
staring into death

she took the message bravely  
a mask of clay and stone  
the others talkin' gravely  
she is all alone

Ref:  
she always had him there  
she had one everywhere  
she always needed care  
she needed to feel free  
and never would she see  
how all of this could be  
and now she's lying there  
so deperately free

he called himself Maloney  
they found a small motel  
she never felt so lonely  
as when she slept her way to Hell
