Free • 1968 • Tons of Sobs

Tons of Sobs is the debut album by English blues/rock band Free, recorded in November 1968. While the album was a commercial failure, failing to chart in the UK and #197 in the America, Free are still cited as one of the definitive bands of the British blues boom of the late 1960s even though this is the only album of their canon that can strictly be called blues-rock. The title of the album does not relate directly to the content of the album; it is both a colloquialism of "lots of money", reflecting the swaggering attitude with which the album was made, and an oblique reference to the darker, more sombre moments of the record.

Тексты:

Over the Green Hills, Part 1

(Rodgers)

Over the green hills and into the sun
That's where I feel I ought to be goin'
Blue sky above me and green earth below
Don't even matter which way I go Yeah!
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah

The trees hold their arms out to catch what life gives
But the people try to snatch all there is
They can have all I own. I don't need anything,
I'll just follow the river, and see what it brings.
Ah ah ah ah ah.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah.

Over the Green Hills, Part 2

(Rodgers)

AH ah ah ah ah
AH ah ah ah ah
I need to be free where the air is clean
And the sparking river is cool on my skin

When the sun shines I'll follow it's glow
And I won't stop moving till it's sinking low
AH ah ah ah ah
