If you’re in need of a song that carries a message and hits hard emotionally, this is it. “Freedom to Carry (Is Not Free)” is faSade’s latest single, a poignant and impactful protest song that confronts the devastating consequences of gun violence. The emotional depth of the track pulls you in from the very first note with haunting melodies and heartfelt lyrics that won’t shy away from the truth.
The chorus of the song is both memorable and meaningful and its message sticks with you long after the music stops. faSade’s rich and deep voice adds to the emotional weight of the lyrics, especially in lines like, “Your freedom to carry is not free when I have to carry my child to the cemetery”. The accompanying music video is a perfect match for the song’s themes, using stark imagery to emphasize the song’s message. The production is perfect with great mixing and instrumentation that really brings the song to life. It’s deliberate, every note and word, and it creates a stirring atmosphere that supports faSade’s activism. This is music with a purpose and his commitment to change shines through in every aspect of this release.
I honestly find this song deeply moving. It’s rare to find music that combines such powerful storytelling with a cause so important. I truly believe faSade is an artist to keep your eye on and I can’t wait to see what his career looks like as he continues to make music that pushes and inspires us.
