Transcript

00:00I'm Ronnie and this is the show that introduces you to original music artists from around

00:22the county.

00:23Each artist will be here with me in the studio to talk about and perform their own original

00:27music.

00:28Today I'm joined by some of the members from the rock band Freedom Cage from Maidstone.

00:32Thanks for being here guys.

00:34So Freedom Cage, what's a name like that?

00:38Where did that come from?

00:39Good question.

00:40It's the same old cliche.

00:41It came to us in a dream.

00:42I dreamt of it one night.

00:43What kind of a dream could that be?

00:44I just woke up one morning and I just wrote it down.

00:50I still don't really know what it means but I think people make their own kind of assumptions

00:54and illusions on it.

00:55Okay.

00:56What's your illusion on it?

00:57I just like the name.

00:58I think it's cool.

00:59We were talking a little bit off camera how you kind of joined the group and then revamped

01:04the name.

01:05I wouldn't say we revamped the name.

01:08There was a lot of content from Freedom Cage in the early days well before I joined and

01:11then when I did join and Craig and Dan, the original members who showed me the content

01:16of Freedom Cage back in like 2013, 2016, I said why don't we redo them again and get

01:22them sort of out there so we can play them live again to the public because we were gigging

01:26quite a lot pretty much every weekend for like a whole year and a half.

01:32So we just started doing that and then going over them again, writing new songs, getting

01:37new EPs out there and I just thought that the name, there's not another Freedom Cage

01:42out there.

01:43It's not a catchy name.

01:44Even when you go on Spotify and type in Freedom Cage, there's only, I've only ever seen our

01:48Freedom Cage.

01:49There's always usually another Freedom Cage or another band out there somewhere with the

01:52same name.

01:53So on that way, I think we're very lucky.

01:56Yeah, well that's a good way to get it out there and the other best way is to jump into

02:00your music from the go.

02:03So let's hear your first song.

02:05Awesome.

02:07What does it have to take to just make you love me?

02:19Can't bear the thought of losing you now.

02:23I won't let this pass on by.

02:27We both have the right to be with each other.

02:37Please don't accept this fantasy while I try to uncover what you see in me.

02:47So I wrote another love song.

02:50I want you to know that you threw me wrong.

02:57I just can't go on like this no more.

03:13Go leave, don't say goodbye.

03:16Goodbye is cruel to you, it makes you cry.

03:20All my life I've watched dereliction, learning abandonment is you.

03:30It's funny how things begin, and sometimes tragic at the end.

03:36But it only truly counts when you understand what deepened.

03:43I need hospitality because I feel so destroyed.

03:55Waiting up all night trying to balance this loss.

04:03So sing for me, brave and beautiful boy.

04:11Please darling, sing for me so I can advertise.

04:21Heaven knows I'm in love with my girl.

04:27She is my savior and she has soul.

04:58So I wrote another love song.

05:02I want you to know that you threw me wrong.

05:06I just can't go on like this no more.

05:10I just can't go on like this no more.

05:16I just can't go on like this no more.

05:22I just can't go on like this no more.

05:27So sing for me, brave and beautiful boy.

05:35Please darling, sing for me so I can advertise.

05:45Heaven knows I'm in love with my girl.

05:51She is my savior and she has soul.

06:03She has soul.

06:09Ah, she has soul.

06:14Ah, she has soul.

06:20Ah, she has soul.

06:28Ah, she has soul.

06:34She has soul.

06:38She has soul.

06:44Amazing. Well, we didn't really get to hear much of the background about that song.

06:50So your next song, tell us a little bit about it before we get into it.

06:54You. So that was a song written quite a few years ago.

06:58We didn't really perform it much at all.

07:02We're going to record in the studio very, very soon and we're going to put it down and record it that way.

07:06But it's just one of them love songs. And most people seem to like it, don't they?

07:10Yeah, I think so. We enjoy playing it.

07:14So it's your crowd pleaser.

07:18For us at the moment, we've put it out there a few times, haven't we, during gigs and a lot of people do seem to like it.

07:22Yeah, I think there's a lot of meaning and stuff behind it.

07:26And I think people can take that song as they choose it from their perspective.

07:30Yeah, I think that's basically the thing with all of our songs.

07:34Everyone makes their own kind of assumption and what they feel from it and what sentiment they can take from it.

07:39Well, I can't wait to find out what I can take away from it. So let's get to it.

07:47I can see your face

07:51So clear in my mind

07:55And the feeling again

07:59I just can't leave behind

08:03No way back, we've come too far

08:07And I know you can't steal my heart

08:11Just because

08:15This is love

08:19Cause I feel at home

08:23This feeling so strong

08:27Leave me alone

08:31This is love

08:36This feeling set in stone

08:40Won't let me go home

08:44Won't let me go home

08:48Without you

09:00In a perfect world

09:04We could have survived

09:08Let's take one more chance

09:12Let our hearts entwine

09:16No way back, we've come too far

09:20And I know

09:24You can't steal my heart

09:28Just because

09:33This is love

09:37Cause I feel at home

09:41This feeling set in stone

09:45Leave me alone

09:49This is love

09:53Cause I feel at home

09:57This feeling set in stone

10:02Won't let me go home

10:06Without you

10:24As I noticed you were mine

10:28I said I'm not gonna say goodbye

10:36Mine too deep to now cry

10:40In time I'll be fine

10:44I'll be alright

10:52This is love

10:57This feeling set in stone

11:01Won't let me go home

11:05This is love

11:09Cause you are the one

11:13This feeling set in stone

11:17Won't let me go home

11:21Without you

11:27Only you

11:31Only you

11:39Only you

11:47Only you

13:40Good choices, good choices.

13:42Favourite gig you've attended?

13:44Together or?

13:46Whatever you want to say.

13:49My favourite gig I've attended was probably Bon Jovi back in...

13:51Guns N' Roses Hyde Park.

13:53Yeah, mine was Bon Jovi at the O2.

13:55Oh, okay.

13:57It was pretty cool.

13:59First gig you ever played?

14:01Oh, my God.

14:03Druid's Arms, Mate Stone.

14:05Mine was a little pub called The Swan in Great Chart.

14:07And I was about 13.

14:0913?

14:11Wow, okay.

14:13One music goal you have for your career?

14:16Tour the US.

14:20Mine would be just to get exposure.

14:22Okay, and very quickly,

14:24your dream venue to perform in?

14:26Wembley.

14:28LA Forum.

14:30Alright, and that is all of our questions.

14:32You made it before the end of time.

14:34Nicely done, guys.

14:36Alright, so let's get into your next song.

14:38Take it away.

14:46Is there a safe asylum

14:48Where I can rest

14:50And walk the rickshaws

14:52Contemplates the past

14:54Seen through the lies

14:56Penetrated for lies

14:58It's a spark of understanding

15:00That I'm not alone

15:02I'm not alone

15:04I'm not alone

15:06I'm not alone

15:08I'm not alone

15:10I'm not alone

15:12I'm not alone

15:14It's a spark of understanding

15:20Glow under moonshine

15:22Happiness

15:28And sanctuary

15:34Please come find me

15:38It's time for the pain to refrain

15:40You can watch me as I plumb into the depths You can hold my hand, but you won't see me

15:52cry I'll get through this without a lullaby

15:58I'm a new man, the future is still mine

16:10Believe me friend, when I tell you that my heart has been broken before

16:34Because you can never truly know love until your heart has been burned to the core

16:44Happiness, it's sanctuary

16:55Please come find me, it's time for the pain to refrain

17:05You can watch me as I plumb into the depths You can hold my hand, but you won't see me

17:15cry I'll get through this without a lullaby

17:21I'm a new man, the future is still mine

17:27I'll fade down, will you see me through?

17:53Encaged in love's residue

18:24Amazing! Okay, that was a lot of fun. I really like that one. That's a good one.

18:32So, a question I like to ask everyone, because music is such a difficult industry,

18:37what's the best advice you've been given in your career so far that you've taken with you?

18:42Don't stop.

18:43Don't stop and be yourself. Don't try and be someone else, always be natural, be yourself.

18:49And enjoy it.

18:51That's key. Enjoy it.

18:53Because it can easily become a burden if you're doing too much of something you're not comfortable with.

18:58Also, don't take yourself too seriously as well. If you take yourself too seriously sometimes...

19:02Yeah, just have fun with it.

19:04Have a lot of fun with it.

19:05Yeah.

19:06What element do you guys find to be the most fun?

19:09Me personally, I think when we get to the gig and before we go on,

19:16when we can have a quick chat, laugh, a beer and stuff like that and just complete banter.

19:21That's my favourite bit.

19:24Mine is usually the euphoric thing once you've just finished.

19:28Thank God we're done with that.

19:30But no, it's a good thing because all the endorphins are just shooting through the roof and you feel great.

19:37It's a hard one to pinpoint, that question, because there's so many good points.

19:41There is. Just going down the pub with the band's good.

19:45Well, I think that you guys have been great so far, but let's get into your final song before we have to go.

20:14Warm and bold, so shattered and torn

20:24I'm still searching, I won't be taken in

20:33No serene interim, this is purification

20:42One holy matrimony, the devil rides by your side

20:51I saw you waiting with the young hound

20:56Standing in the crossroads, stealing out your soul

21:01I can't wait, when the levy breaks

21:08Stand me up, when you have what it takes

21:19I'm still searching, I won't be taken in

21:28No serene interim, this is purification

21:38One holy matrimony, the devil rides by your side

21:47I saw you waiting with the young hound

21:52Standing in the crossroads, stealing out your soul

21:57The fire's burning, ready to accentuate

22:27I look deep into your eyes

22:39You persuade with your smile

22:48I'm still searching, I won't be taken in

22:59No serene interim, this is purification

23:08One holy matrimony, the devil rides by your side

23:17I saw you waiting with the young hound

23:22Standing in the crossroads, stealing out your soul

23:27One holy matrimony, the devil rides by your side

23:36I saw you waiting with the young hound

23:41Standing in the crossroads, stealing out your soul
