Welcome to Wordplay Thursday!
Today, try seeing the world through a different set of eyes. Try writing a song through the “eyes” of…
Freedom
How would it see the world? How would it describe a love song or another situation? What would it tell us about itself? What is its story? Dive in and be fearless!
I’d love to hear what you come up with, so please share in the comments. Oh, and please keep your posts below an R-rating. It’s a family show, after all!
Wordplay Thursday is a fun way to generate new song ideas- and who doesn’t need more song ideas? If you’d like MORE “creative kickstarters,” join the Frettie.com community today!

I remember when this ol car gave me a sense of FREEDOM.
I remember when this ol car smelled new
When I told that blue eyed girl I love you
By the way you might wanna replace that red dome light
Its yours now treat her right

Hey look at you, you haven’t changed;
Still the same beautiful smile.
Yeah our story turned a different page,
But seeing you brings me back awhile.
(Pre-ch)
And I still blame myself,
For all the things i said,
I don’t think I’ll ever be the same.
And that scar belongs on my heart,
There’s one thing I wish ….
I could change,
I could change.
(Ch)
that prayer that I prayed,
The mess that I made
The freedom I needed,
So I could find my way.
The sad song that never ends,
Keeps starting over again,
And the only thing I ever want to say,
I made the biggest mistake.
