Pin Stripes Fan Account This song has an excellent mix of classical rock and a folk music feeling, with a beautiful piano part driving it on. The guitar solos takes it to another level. Highly recommend it and also other releases from the band!

about

We Were Free is only sort of a Storm of Crows track. Released after the band officially formed, but completed with only two of the members. Matt's nine-year-old daughter Evie is the special musical guest, providing the piano part.

lyrics

Look at all the world around you
Look at all the times still left to come
Look at all the days you've been through
Realize you're not the only one
Remember the times long ago
We were free

I wouldn't be here now without you
Guiding me through times of good and bad
Hearing all the things you told me
About ways through you always had
Remember the times long ago
We were free

You never would believe you're something
You never let me show you what you could do
Feeling all the words around you
No-one ever knew the real you
You made those times, long ago
We were free

It's all about the words around you
How they make you feel and how they flow
Making you believe you're empty
When deep down inside your heart you know
Forget about the times, let them go
We are free

about

Storm of Crows image

Storm of Crows Sheffield, UK

Storm of Crows is a rock band based in Sheffield and Stockport, in the UK. Originally in various bands at the end of the 1990s, we reformed during Covid lockdown in 2020 to record some of our old songs, and write a few new ones as well. We're not the best band in the world, but we're having a blast doing what what we're doing, and we think that comes across in our music. We hope you like it too. ... more

Allegories
by Feralman

This album should be the soundtrack to life. I was stuck in traffic when I realised (that makes it sound bad. It isn't!) but everything just seemed right, watching the world go by with this playing. Storm of Crows

Coming Home
by Black Cart

Black Cart are one of my absolute favourite indie bands. Incredible rock delivered by Ray's awesome guitar, stunning vocal from Les, and beautiful keys from John, this is definitely one to not miss! Storm of Crows

B.P.M. (Album)
by Portobello Express

It might be short, but what Portobello Express have packed into this album is nothing short of wonderful. Crank it up loud and give it a listen. Then play it on repeat again and again! Storm of Crows
