(It's Good) To Be Free
Oasis · The Masterplan
Head like a rock spinning round and round
I found it in a hole sitting upside down
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Paint me a wish on a velvet sky
You demand the answers but I don't know why in my mind
There is no time
The little things they make me so happy
All I wanna do is live by the sea
Yeah little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free
So what would you say if I said to you
It's not in what you say it's in what you do
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Bring it on home to where we found
My head like a rock sitting upside down
In my mind there is no time
The little things they make me so happy
All I wanna do is live by the sea
Yeah little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free
I found it in a hole sitting upside down
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Paint me a wish on a velvet sky
You demand the answers but I don't know why in my mind
There is no time
The little things they make me so happy
All I wanna do is live by the sea
Yeah little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free
So what would you say if I said to you
It's not in what you say it's in what you do
You point the finger at me but I don't believe
Bring it on home to where we found
My head like a rock sitting upside down
In my mind there is no time
The little things they make me so happy
All I wanna do is live by the sea
Yeah little things they make me so happy
But it's good it's good it's good to be free
(It's Good) To Be Free
Released on Oasis's 1998 album The Masterplan, '(It's Good) To Be Free' stands as a poignant reflection on the band's evolving sound and the passage of time. Following the departure of guitarist Liam Gallagher, the track captures a more introspective and mature tone characteristic of the group's later work. The song features a stripped-back arrangement that highlights Noel Gallagher's songwriting depth, focusing on themes of freedom and the bittersweet nature of moving forward. It serves as a significant song in the band's discography, marking a shift away from their earlier pop-punk influences toward a more organic, rock-oriented style that resonated with fans during the late 1990s.
