i just wanted to say thank you because me and my friend used this for our thesfest piece and we made it to nationals back in my junior year. this piece is close to my heart because we always performed it for school events and i just wanted to say thank you for covering it so beautifully.
sunshine shining This made me smile a whole lot. Honestly, I hadn’t revisited this video in a long time and I forgot just how close this song is to my heart as well. Thank you so much for your words and congrats on Nationals!
AHHHH YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! Holy CRAP. I've been having a heart attack over who I would get to play this for my friend and I for our drama competition in 4 days and this is a GODSEND. Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!
I don't think you understand how much I love you right now. A Friend of mine, and I needed a piano background track for an audition tomorrow, to perform this song for a benefit concert next week. The problem was there would be an accompanist for the concert, but not the audition. Seriously just saved our buns. Amazing! You played it perfectly too. All the breaks & emotional moments are spot on. THANKYOUTHANKYOUTHANKYOU!
KELLY Let’s go. The highway’s calling. The sun is shining. Let’s get in the car and just remember. Let’s go. SAM Kelly drove on all of our roadtrips. She believed in list’ning to the highway. You start driving, And keep driving. There’s no stopping ‘til Kelly says you’ve arrived. KELLY You’re not doing it right. SAM Doing what? KELLY You’re not in it. SAM What are you talking about? KELLY You’re not in the moment, Sam. Talk about what it felt like. SAM What did it feel like? KELLY You remember. Feeling the wind blowing your hair. Picking a road and going anywhere. We’re heading south. Or maybe west. We don’t know much. We’re making up the rest. Tear up the atlas. Don’t read the road signs. Driving for the sake of driving anywhere. That’s freedom. SAM Freedom. KELLY What bug do you have up your ass? SAM I don’t have a bug up my ass! KELLY Do you even realize how epic this weekend is going to be? There’s like six parties and I’m taking this lecture called Sex and you have to come. SAM I’m on break. I don’t really feel like going to class. KELLY Well what do you want to do? SAM I don’t know. KELLY Samantha Brown. Do you see that fork up ahead? SAM Yeah. KELLY Well, one way leads to my school and the other leads somewhere else. Which way do you want to turn? SAM I don’t know. KELLY If you don’t choose, we’re gonna hit that house. Left or right? SAM Hold on, I’m looking at the map. KELLY Maps are for brain deads. Left or right! SAM Ah… Left! KELLY turns the car fast. A car horn honks. She flips the guy off. KELLY Very slow, Brown. SAM So where are we going? KELLY I have no idea. Counting the miles as we go past. SAM The tank is full. The sun is high. KELLY Knowing that every mile could be our last. SAM Just watching the day go by. SAM AND KELLY We won’t look back. We never will. SAM We’ve come too far. KELLY We’ll drive til we hit Nashville. SAM Nashville. SAM AND KELLY Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. KELLY So what do you want to do now? SAM Make a right? KELLY In life, Sam. Think big. What do you want? SAM Uh I don’t know - I want to get my license. KELLY Bigger. SAM I want the deafening sound of driving fast with the windows down. KELLY More! SAM I want to break rules and do something unexpected. KELLY Good. I want Arby’s. SAM I want to hold on to this moment right now. KELLY I want to go skinny-dipping in the ocean. SAM I want to drive forever. And I’m almost starting to feel it. How she took a day and made it special. KELLY Freedom. SAM The long highways. The cheap rest stops. KELLY Freedom. SAM The last minute get in the car and let’s go. KELLY Oh, let’s go. Let’s go. Pick a road. Pick a highway. Any road is going my way. Let’s go. Live it up with no complicated philosophies. No college, no career, No kids, no fancy house, no. Let’s go. Any road but the one we’re on. SAM AND KELLY No college, no career, No screaming kids, no mortgage. Driving anywhere. KELLY Just driving straight into the dawn. That’s freedom. SAM (KELLY) Kelly driving. Me riding shotgun. Just a couple girls out on the highway With no road map And no curfew. Just two girls with nowhere we have to be. (Freedom.) Now she’s laughing. And I start laughing. (Freedom.) It’s so real and so like a memory. (Freedom.) And the sun is so bright that I’m squinting. And it feels like I found freedom. SAM AND KELLY Freedom. KELLY Yeah. SAM (KELLY) Driving fast, the radio blaring. (Yeah) Windows open, singing like we’re rock stars. KELLY Oh yeah. SAM Yeah. KELLY Yeah. SAM Yeah. KELLY Yeah. SAM Yeah. KELLY Yeah. SAM Yeah. KELLY Yeah.

@TheGloryOfSpring Thank you SO much. :) You have no idea how much these comments mean to me. And yeah, I totally would! I'm working on 'How To Return Home' right now actually :) So I'm really hoping that will be up soon. This is finals week for me, so hopefully after this I'll have more time and get that up ASAP. But really, thank you so much for your kind words.
I would love to use this instrumental to film me and my sister singing the song! I would like to do the full show version, so if I want to add the dialogue, where should I pause the video to do so? Thanks!
@TheGloryOfSpring Heyy... So I feel really bad that I haven't gotten "How To Return Home" up yet. I can play it and all that good stuff, but a friend of mine borrowed my pedal about a month ago and still hasn't gotten it back to me, so unfortunately, I can't record anything, or else it would be up. So sorry. But when I do get it back, I'll make sure to get it up soon! Sorry!
@sydneyandthemusic I can totally do that!! :) When will you need it by? And instead of shortening the ending, is it okay if I just speed the whole thing up maybe a tiny bit?
Hello! My friend and I are thinking about singing this for a competition, is there any way you could email me an mp3 of this?! It's exactly what we are looking for. It would just have to be 5 minutes max. You are so talented and I would be forever grateful!
@sydneyandthemusic AW! That means SO much to me! Thank you!! If you want me to record a better quality audio I can absolutely do that if you want!! Good luck!!
"Let's go" (the first lyrics) are pretty much a beat after the first chord is played. Here's the video I used as reference when playing this. Freedom - Phoebe Strole, Helene Yorke
For the extended, PG-13 version with dialogue that I (and probably others) started with: pause at 1:39 for dialogue #1, then skip straight to 1:54, continue onto 2:34 and then pause again for second dialogue. Continue onto end
@casonSUPERSTAR You should have recieved a PDF file that you download... do you have something that can open PDF's? If you do, try opening it with that. :)
@sydneyandthemusic Nope. Next week is fine! Ha, that's plenty of time, I was worried you were going to say like, tomorrow or something. I'll message you when I get it done to figure out a way to send it to you :)
KELLY You’re not doing it right. SAM Doing what? KELLY You’re not in it. SAM What are you talking about? KELLY You’re not in the moment, Sam. Talk about what it felt like. SAM What did it feel like?
@alittledazzled Thank YOU so much!! :) That means so so much!! Um, I can try? My schedule is a bit crazy right now, but if you wanted a certain piece you could message me and I could see what I could do :) And yes K&L ARE amazing :D Again, thank you so much!!
@sydneyandthemusic Wow I didn't realize I was logged into a diff account. I'm sorry. But yeah, I finished recording it. I can send it to you tomorrow. :) If you could message me your email address that'd be great!!

@TheGloryOfSpring

I'm working on 'How To Return Home' right now actually :) So I'm really hoping that will be up soon. This is finals week for me, so hopefully after this I'll have more time and get that up ASAP. But really, thank you so much for your kind words.
YES THANK YOU
You are amazing!!!!!
Yeah, I took out the second dialogue part. It's modeled after the version Helene Yorke and Phoebe Strole sang. Thanks for listening!
Can I suggest "Say the Word" from the Unauthorized Autobiography of Samantha Brown? I don't there is a karaoke version of it yet anywhere.
Thank you so much!! :)
I would love to use this instrumental to film me and my sister singing the song! I would like to do the full show version, so if I want to add the dialogue, where should I pause the video to do so? Thanks!

So sorry. But when I do get it back, I'll make sure to get it up soon! Sorry!
Can you please post the link of the sheet music here? amazing job, by the way!!!
Just search Freedom Kerrigan Lowdermilk Lyrics and they should come up!
@sydneyandthemusic
I can totally do that!! :) When will you need it by?
And instead of shortening the ending, is it okay if I just speed the whole thing up maybe a tiny bit?
Hello! My friend and I are thinking about singing this for a competition, is there any way you could email me an mp3 of this?! It's exactly what we are looking for. It would just have to be 5 minutes max. You are so talented and I would be forever grateful!
@sydneyandthemusic
AW! That means SO much to me! Thank you!!
If you want me to record a better quality audio I can absolutely do that if you want!! Good luck!!
Wonderful - thank you! Just... at what point does the singing begin? I can't figure it out :(
"Let's go" (the first lyrics) are pretty much a beat after the first chord is played. Here's the video I used as reference when playing this. Freedom - Phoebe Strole, Helene Yorke

Do you think this can be shortened to 5 minutes so I can use this for a competition?
Do you still have the track? I need this song for an audition next week
@casonSUPERSTAR
You should have recieved a PDF file that you download... do you have something that can open PDF's? If you do, try opening it with that. :)
is this the same cut as the song on the album? it seems different
@sydneyandthemusic
Nope. Next week is fine! Ha, that's plenty of time, I was worried you were going to say like, tomorrow or something.
I'll message you when I get it done to figure out a way to send it to you :)
