Jann Arden is such a great singer. I have seen her live and if you ever get a chance to see her live she is hilarious & as good live as she is in her recordings; if not even better. She sings songs of the heart, about love lost and can transmit any songs that deal with emotions and the human condition like no other. She gets to the raw emotions we all feel at one time or another or know someone who has. Free is another great CD from Jann; always good singing & great writing.
My favorite tracks on this CD are:
Free: A great song about how we feel once that person we've been involved with is now gone, like feeling a breath of fresh air for the first time! Beautiful harmonies & vocals on this one!
Daughter Down:The lyrics in this song are outstanding & show what a beautiful heart Jann has! Wow!
The Devil Won:Love the intro to this song and her voice sounds so magnificent on this track!
Away: I really like the beginning of this song; great song about longing & love!
You Are Everything:Beautiful lyrics; so enchanting and sung with simplicity & grace!
Everybody's Broken: Only Jann can tell this story about bullying & abuse in such a way to make people sit up & listen
A Million Miles:I love this song so much...about falling in & out of love. This song got alot of radio play; has a pop sound to it compositionally.
All The Days:This song is so well written...it is dramatic,loving, gut wrenching,so emotionally charged! Wow a 10+ on every level!
Lost:Great lyrical songwriting about the end of a relationship..heartwrenching!

I bought this recording a few weeks after I saw Jann in concert. Some of the songs kept popping into my head, in a pleasant way.
This is Jann's best effort in years. I have to put it right up there with her finest work. Her singing on this record is better than ever and the lyrics beautifully crafted. The arrangements and music are not left behind and it is a record that merits repeated listening. My son loves, "A Million Miles Away" and was actually singing it (he's 7) to himself on a recent vacation. My favourites are: "Free", "Daughter Down", "The Devil Won" and the gorgeous "All the Days". Her version of "Lost" (co-written with Michael Bublé), gives me hope and comfort after a hard day.
Some of you may not be aware that, although Jann writes beautiful, heart-wrenching songs, she also possesses and incredible wit. Her books share the laughter, tears, and wonder of life. Worth checking out! if i knew, don't you think I'd tell you
Thank you Jann!

I discovered Jann Arden soon after she released her debut album, in a CD store in Jerusalem (Israel) of all places. I followed her career ever since and I have almost all her CDs. I even went to see her performing in Seattle in 2008 (she was excellent).
In each album there are several songs that I think are simply brilliant. For example, 'The Sound of' from 'Happy?', or her rendering of 'Love is a Battlefield' from 'Uncover me'.
Naturally, it is hard for any artist to generate new music that sounds as appealing and interesting as in their earlier releases. Even the greatest ones start to repeat themselves after a while. So I setup my expectations accordingly when I ordered this CD.
Well, after several listenings I can say that this CD exceeded my expectaions. There are some really great tunes on this album (e.g. tracks 1,3,5,7,8,9,10).
Arden still sounds down to earth, yet powerful, the way she has been on previous albums. But there is something else about this album. The vibe is more calm, more accepting (I haven't read the lyrics carefully yet, but that's the vibe I get from the music or maybe it is the production). Overall, I think this album is somewhat more coherent and solid than previous releases and every time I listen to it I like it more.

Its sad that this very talented singer and writer can't even get a deal of some kind in the US?? Sent away to Canada for this one but
its worth every bid of the cost of admission. I can't even think of
many these days that can write such witty, deep words to go along with her beautiful vocals. She has such a way with her one liners, its no wonder she is also so funny during her live sets. FREE is full of what she does best, draws you in with those
melodies and pulls out your heart in the journey, many songs are about relationships that have soured and the after effects. ALL THE DAYS is one of the most moving songs I've heard from Jann in years about getting older and the ones we choose to travel with to the end of our days. From the opening cut FREE to A MILLION MILES AWAY, DAUGHTER DOWN, THE DEVIL WON, this talent should be heard again in the USA. FREE is a nice change of pace for Jann, its bolder, great background vocals, intense.

Jann never ceases to amaze me, her music is so touching, so relateable and so likeable and the voice, it gives me chills each time I hear her soar.
I have loved her music since her first hit and have continued to follow her career all the way down here in Australia. It took a while for me to get this album and it wasn't cheap by the time it got to me ($40) but it is worth every cent.
The amazing lead single and title track Free is a heartwrentching ballad with a beautiful film clip to match, I love the line "I'm feelin' better, now that your stuff's out in the yard" cause we've all felt like that before.
The breezy Yeah You and the touching Lost all make this one of the best Jann albums I own, she is a true talent. Come back to Australia Jann, please!
