the 90's, when even the music you didn't like was good!

[@Lazy_Sundae]

The fact remains that it's a cover of a 60s track, though.

[@Stalakiron]

friggin good track to cover 😊

[@taeghth1-wg9sh]

@@Lazy_Sundae Yeah, the 90's Generation's Parents Cultures, Cultures they grew up in
lol

[@MICKYLEAKSMGR-PRESIDENTCJWORLD]

Yep 80s and 90s music fall under that Category. Depends on What Mood You're in, One Time YOU'LL Hate the Song, Suddenly Different Situation, Different System, Different Volume Level, Mind Relaxed or in a Better Place, The Same Songs Just Become a Different Thing and Enjoyment or Escape from the Troubles of this FUCKED up World by Satanic Cults!

[@fionatritton7455]

It was a great time to be young. Great indie music, no social media, university grants, easy to find a job.

[@maxpilot5]

esta versão através de Soup Dragons é excelente, até hoje vejo o clip que tb foi muito bem produzido, a original é dos Rolling Stones, época boa que não volta mais, as músicas de hoje em dia é um marasmo só, pagodes "chatos" da vida, sertanejo nada "universitário", e o famigerado "funk", que lá fora nos guetos dos EUA ninguém dança mais, esta é a realidade...😖🎸🎧

Step on... Brilliant.. I love stone roses.. To.. I may of met a weirdo at college but... Introduced me to.. Indie music...
He was more concerned about.. Dark matters.. And I apologise for leaving him on the side.. Whilst I danced with some other guys....
He dumped me after to which I think was best break up ever.. I sincerely thought he was too much into death... Etc... I said yeah OK when he said I don't think we're compatible... And I thought thank god for that.... Too dark side.... And depressing but.... That night in Boscombe.. At club always remember...

Lyrics
Don't be afraid of your freedom
Freedom
I'm free to do what I want any old time
I said I'm free to do what I want any old time
I say love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
'Cause I'm free to do what I want any old time
And I'm free to be who I choose any old time
I say love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
'Cause I'm free
I say love me, hold me
Love me, hold me
'Cause I'm free to do what I want
To be what I want any old time
And I'm free to be who I choose
To get my booze any old time
I say love me (love me forever)
Hold me (and love will never die)
Love me, hold me
'Cause I'm free
Do you hear what the man say
These are the words me hear from my grandaddy, come
These are the words me hear from my grandaddy
He would say nothing in this world like when a man know he free
Free from the lock up, me say
Free from the debt
Free like a butterfly
Free like a bee
These are the words me hear from my grandaddy
Said it's nice to be free, nice to be free
Free from the lock up, me say
Free from the debt
Don't be afraid of your freedom
'Cause I'm free to do what I want any old time (I'm a new creation)
'Cause I'm free to do what I want any old time (Don't be afraid of your freedom)
I said I'm free to do what I want to be what I want any old time
I said I'm free to be who I choose, to get my booze any old time
'Cause I'm free to do what I want any old time (I'm free, I'm free, I'm free)
'Cause I'm free to do what I want any old time (I'm free, I'm free, I'm free)
'Cause I'm free to do what I want any old time (I'm free, I'm free, I'm free)
'Cause I'm free to do what I want any old time (I'm free, I'm free, I'm free)
