Always Free
The story behind the song
"Always Free" finds The Kooks exploring a feeling of being untethered and ready to move, even when life's simple joys, like seeing a "babygirl laying by my side," are present. There's a sense of needing to escape or reset, with the repeated declaration of being "always free to get me right away." This track, appearing on the 2008 release Always Where I Need to Be, captures the band's energetic indie rock spirit, infused with their signature blend of influences. It plays like a spontaneous urge to break away and find new ground.
