about

"Set Me Free" was originally just a simple dulcimer track that Gayle wrote while on her way to a gig at Molly Malones with her former drummer, Bryce Johnson. It's a song about waiting for doors to open. As it evolved over the 2 year recording process, it became an anthem for her and became more of an upbeat indie pop song, expressing more clearly the desire to see rewards for one's persistence.

lyrics

I’m a bird in a cage
I’m gonna sing until you set me free, you set me free
If life is a stage, I want to see who gets to hide behind the scenes, behind the scenes
I don’t believe you’ll let me stay
Behind the bars I’m locked away
You’re gonna break me out of my cell
I’m gonna find myself and fly
Out of my cage
I’m gonna sing until you set me free, you set me free
If life is a stage, I want to be who gets to hide behind the scenes, behind the scenes
If I could be so lucky
To see behind what’s here
Pull back the curtain tonight
Would the revelation bring, bring me a pair of wings
And a key that fits just right in the door of my cage?
I don’t believe you’ll let me stay
Behind the bars I’m locked away
You’re gonna break me out of my cell
I’m gonna find myself and fly
