Cory explains the concept behind the song, I feel the song talks about never taking freedom and the simple things in life for granted in these current difficult times we are faced with.



He explains further, It doesn't come without a cost... I think it portrays the fact that there's a lot of built up frustration, anger and confusion in the world right now, and sometimes we must brave the storm on our own, while standing up for our beliefs and speaking our own truth. It's also a little about a loss of innocence, and finding that common ground with the "common man", and asking God for strength and healing from above on our journey of faith on this current path."



The thing that strikes you when you listen to "Freedom Road" is how pensive, reflective and personal it is as you absorb the thought provoking lyrics. Cory does an outstanding job lyrically of writing a song that muses on a variety of relatable topics such as core values, faith, principles and truly appreciating the freedoms we enjoy....also standing up for those freedoms when they're challenged.



Freedom, it don't come without a cost

And all the simple things just wind up getting lost

In those forgotten days of innocence and youth

When we used to speak our hearts and hear God's truth

Excerpt from verse of "Freedom Road"

One can pick up on a number of gems and words of wisdom as you make your way through this track. The sincerity in Cory's vocal performance goes a long way in masterfully conveying the crux of the song.



I also find it impressive that even though "Freedom Road" contains a number of references to faith and religion, it is not at all a type of song you can regard as "preachy" or "judgmental". Once again, I attribute this to Cory's authentic vocal presentation and adept songwriting which anyone, regardless of faith or belief can learn from and be uplifted.



"Freedom Road" is an incredible single and carries an empowering message which resonates profoundly given the social and economic turmoil that is gripping the world.



Kudos to Cory and everyone involved in this project. Show your support by streaming it (Spotify link below) and sharing it with friends and loved ones for an enjoyable listening experience.
