Music is Freedom

Written by Noel Gama

Strung up high against the dappled wall
of a machine gun-strafed military canteen
A shard of light she stood tall
stripped of everything but her G-String
A soldier’s helmet round her headstock
an empty magazine was her waistband
Conde just refused to rock
she held her ground kept her poise, and she took a stand

I strode up across the cratered floor
kicking shrapnel, empty bullets and shells askew
I lifted her right off the wall, out the door
a soldier laying claim to what was his due

I found a sounding board in Conde
she said if you can change the world and you can just give a hand
help make a world for you and me
hold your ground, keep your poise, and take a stand

Music is freedom when freedom is all but gone
you’re free to choose right from wrong
You got to take a stand before it’s too late
safeguard your freedom and your faith

Sounds of guns in the distance
I lost touch with Conde and the songs we wrote
They filled the deafening silence
word by word, chord by chord, note by note

Conde knew I’d return one day
cuz with every change of heart there’s a change of hand
kneeling by the case where she lay
I held her close, kept my word and took a stand

Music is freedom when freedom is all but gone
you’re free to choose right from wrong
You got to take a stand before it’s too late
safeguard your freedom and your faith

You can’t pretend to be tone deaf all the time
and seek solace in a bottle of wine
you wanna keep the flag of freedom flying high
you gotta make choices in the compromise

Music is freedom when freedom is all but gone
you’re free to choose right from wrong
You got to take a stand before it’s too late
safeguard your freedom and your faith

For as long as I’ve known Noel for the last 27 years, he has always been passionate about his music. Mesmerizing vocals, competent playing; be it the guitar or keyboards, and the amazing ability to establish an instant connection with his audience make him a complete entertainer. He has written and composed a few lovely songs which strike a chord with the listener. I am proud to have such a nice friend. I wish him all the best in the near future.

A complete musician and entertainer, his music has evolved over the years. Equally adept in playing the guitar and keyboards, he has always been in sync with the times and development in the world of music. A gifted songwriter and composer, his songs are touching and espouse causes one can empathize with. My best wishes are with him in his musical journey. Noel….`Thank you for the music’.

I have always been fascinated with the Portuguese language but when I heard Noel singing in portuguese, I was mesmerized by the songs and his melodious voice. I never knew Portuguese music could be so delightful until I heard Noel’s version of popular Portuguese songs at a wedding in Daman! He not only has a rich voice – the crystal-clear words seem to flow out of his lips as effortlessly as in speech.
