Judy Collins - Almost Free CAPO: 3rd Fret [Intro] [Verse 1] Last night you pushed me a little too far I was not coming back when I left in the car There was a time about an hour or two When I was feeling so free from you [Verse 2] Picked up a bottle and drove to The Heights I parked on the ridge and I looked at the lights The engine was off and the radio on And the singer sang and I sang along [Chorus] I was almost free They’re almost poisoning you and me I was almost free Whole new life ahead of me Almost free [Verse 3] The sunrise rising over the wheel The bottle’s empty and so is the feel This car knows that it’s the wrong thing to do But it’s driving me home to you [Verse 4] Maybe I’m too much in love to be strong Maybe there’s one way to be gone A few more pills a little more wine And I can get very hard to find [Chorus] I was almost free They’re almost poisoning you and me I was almost free Whole new life ahead of me [Verse 5] The sun rise rising over the wheel The bottle’s empty and so is the feel A few more pills a little more wine I can get very hard to find [Chorus] I was almost free They’re almost poisoning you and me I was almost free Whole new life ahead of me Almost free

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque un sentiment de lutte entre la quête de liberté et la dépendance à l'autre. Elle décrit une expérience de frustration après une dispute, suivie d'un moment d’évasion, où le protagoniste se sent presque délivré de cette relation toxique. Cependant, ce sentiment est éphémère, car il revient inévitablement vers les souvenirs douloureux et la mélancolie. Dans un décor nocturne, l’individu cherche refuge dans une bouteille et des moments de réflexion sur les lieux familiers. Malgré l’illusion d'une nouvelle vie qui se profile à l'horizon, les chaînes de l'amour et des habitudes néfastes semblent plus fortes, nous rappelant que la vraie liberté peut être difficile à atteindre quand on est tiraillé entre les émotions intenses et la réalité.
