This is another song that was on Michael's "Primal Tribal Arts Council" CD. I've always loved the feel of this song. It adds a different flavor to this project. We flew Michael in so that he could recreate his unique vocal sound.
We recorded to a drum machine click so that I could later add my long time friend Jennie on drums. She was on tour with The Warren Bros. at the time of the initial recording. She walked right in and laid the groove down.

Basses:

• NYC 4-string
  

Notes:

• I went to High School with Jennie.
• She's on tour with a popular country act called "The Warren Brothers". Check out their CD.
• She plays on the "What did he say?" CD. Do u remember which song?
• I was about to faint trying to sing these vocals. I had to stop and sit down.
• NYC basses are made in Brooklyn, NY. by Fodera.
• Michael sings more than me on this song.

Things 2 Listen 4:

• U can hear my voice give out on the word "child" during the first verse.
• Regi's strumming guitar part on the choruses.
• Jennie's groove
• Michael's great vocals
• The effect on Michael's vocals
• The phrase "Go Girl Go" is sung 68 times in this song. How many times is it sung before I start singing the first verse?

Lyrics:
Go girl go. U're free now. Free of the ties, the ties that bind.
Go girl go. Free at last to blast away the darker side into blinding white.
Go girl Go. U're free now. U're free now.
Cut straight on through my nature's child to the things that really matter.

Your song is u. Something to listen to.
Cut straight on through my nature's child,
To the things that really matter. (my nature's child)
This song is u. It's the call of the wild.

Above the noise, go girl go.
An inner voice will cheer u on. Go girl go.
And in your mind, when u step across that line,
So far ahead of the pack with the wind at your back,
Go girl go. U're free now. (Go!)

Keep running toward the sun. Go girl go.
Your race has just begun.

Go girl go. U're free now. Free of the ties, the ties that bind.
Go girl Go. Free at last.
Cut straight on through my nature's child to the things that really matter.

Go girl go. U're free now!
