about

BECCA:
​I adore this song. It's one of my favorite ones to perform. I love Gretchen's linear/rhythmic approach to the composition, and her treatment of the little girl's poem. ​When we perform this it feels like a chant. It's nice to put down the guitar and lose myself in the cyclical accompaniment role.

REBECCA:
This is a quintessential Gretchen tune, and I love singing it. The arrangement is pretty deep. I love singing acapella with Gretchen and Becca.

GRETCHEN:
i wrote this as part of an arts for life album, where we were asked to choose a poem and put it to music. i did this one completely acapella, hearing a melody first, then layering vocal parts to create the whole piece. i sang all the parts on the previous album, and it was fun to teach them to becca and rebecca. i love having a piece only made up of our voices, and bringing needed attention to a wonderful organization.

lyrics

I WANT TO FLY SO FREE
Music by: Gretchen Parlato
Lyrics by: Eureka

I want to fly so free and so high
I want to fly so very high in the sky

I believe I can see the clouds
I can hear the birds singing loud
I believe I can see my sister
and forget about how much I miss her.

I want to walk with my friends to their house
Along the road I’ll see a mouse
And the mouse will tell me to find some treasure
and then so tall I will measure
