Born to be FREE

When I came to the moment I had to decide which song to choose it took me only a minute to remember this song. Glup! is a Chilean band which became quite famous in the early 2000's. By that time I was a teenager and did not really get the meaning of the song. However, one day, looking for old fashioned music I listened to it and paid atenttion to its message.

Freebola is a song which represents the life of a girl who decides to live as a free person, she simply doesn't care about what people think of her, despite how disastrous her life might be. (under other people's eyes). She feels free to do, say and love whoever she wants, and that makes her happy. Freedom is her motto. And for soem time now, that is exactly the way I have been living.

The way this song was written makes it easy for young people to understand its meaning. Nevertheless, older people would find it difficult to really get what it means because of the language used in the song.

I think the main idea of the song is to make us realize that some people may have a different lifestyle than ours and that is not a reason to create prejudices about them, instead, we should get to know them in order to know why they have decided to live as such.

Accepting our differences as human beings is the first step to create a new concept of life, to learn, to love, to comprehend and finally to feel free.

Have you ever felt really free? Have you ever wanted to feel free? Have you ever pretended to be something you are not just because you need to fit in a place?
