Description This song has been hanging around for over a year - it has been dusted down, shaken off and here it is. The original phrase “My entire soul is spinning” was spoken by Lani - thank you xox Lee (LeeMiguel2004) wrote the music and played the clavinova (thank you Lee - you’re brill x), I did the lyrics, apb added guitar and mixed & fixed - bless you alan and hugs to the beautiful high voice of SlimGirlFat - thank you slimmie xox

Lyrics Free To Be My Self

My entire soul is spinning - in a life where i am free
My entire soul is spinning - a second life has set me free
Free to be myself the inner me x 2

It is a second chance - a place where i can dance
Where i can play and sing - do almost anything
There i can fly - i live up in the sky
My soul is spinning free - is this the real me?

My entire soul is spinning - in a life where i am free
My entire soul is spinning - a second life has set me free
Free to be myself the inner me x 2

My life is unconstrained - unhampered - free of pain
I cut loose - i have indeed - I soar now - i am freed
I live a life intense - you took away the fence
With depth of intimacy i am free

My entire soul is spinning - in a life where i am free
My entire soul is spinning - a second life has set me free
Free to be myself the inner me x 2

With dragons i can play and be one everyday
My dreams i can obtain - again and again
There is diversity - creativity
Opportunity to live my fantasy

My entire soul is spinning - in a life where i am free
My entire soul is spinning - a second life has set me free
Free to be myself the inner me

Inspirations mine, empowerment that feels fine
Here before my eyes - it keeps me mesmerised
My first life is enhanced - into the future i’ve advanced
I found you - you found me - together we are free

My entire soul is spinning - in a life where i am free
My entire soul is spinning - second life has set me free
Free to be myself the inner me x2

Hardware my stuff, alan's stuff, slimmie's stuff, lee's clavinova.

I hate fade-outs...
(Literal and metaphorical.) So first I'll say that this felt like it should have had Lee a repeated fast-trembly ending chord as you sang the last "meeeee...." as the finale. Secondly, don't fade away into your second life too far, there are a few of us left behind in our glorious first lives who will miss you terribly... well, a dragon at least :-) As for the song, this is great fun, very nice melodies and playing (except for one place that kept me thinking Lee was about to play "Puff the Magic Dragon" :-), and Alan's guitar work is delightful. Your and SGF's singing matched up quite sweetly. This felt like it should be a musical showtune, nice work, all! Think you can get it to be a certain online software company's "theme song"?
ttfn,
Drakonis

spot on mr dragon!
i'm not madly keen on the ending myself but... lee has long moved on and it was this or nuttin'! (When the certain software company buys it we'll re-record!!) Thank you for your comment - you are a mainstay of this community - big loves - me and the bear xoxoxo

	Puff the magic dragon on crack. Aye.

	I was there I was there, for just one day, but these few short hours gave experience enough for me to understand what you're talking about.. (realized that I would have loved to stay but that I'd never have the capacity to live two lives (am a parent too) so I escaped the temptation and .. here I am .. in RL .. sigh)..

	Cori Ander said 476 days ago
	And Puff And yes, Puff the Magic Dragon, I see the others mentioned .. I associated to that one too (that is a lovely song too)..

	said 476 days ago
	an incredibly super sweet piece:) brought a tear to me eye.. sniffles. SO hapy that this one made it out of the coffers and onto the table.. and Slimmies voice stacks incredibly well with you. Its like listening to cotton candy:) as my soul spins so does everything else...wheeeee! ..and woot all over ya!

	Thank you for this delightful post Caroline and co. Excellent playing and singing - and nicely recorded too! Glad you've dusted this one off - have you any more? Peter

apb said 474 days ago

Ah ..

.. that's where this one got to :o) glad to see it doing well.. picture from the 'bear necessities' conference, my bedroom, Castle Von Berger, SL... while I was asleep! lol ...can anyone make out 3 people in the picture? back when I spent most of my SL time running around getting panned ..ah, fun times ..

Yup, we needed a little further assistance from Lee to
brush this one up further (the ending and playing to click).. I should have thrown some
de-essing at it in Logic ...I still hear "accounts I have indeed" and "I live a life in tents" lol ..
might just be moi.
