"Free" & "Bound" Songs

You just had to know we were overdue for another "Opposites" post, right? This one's a bit of a stretch, in that the words "Free" and "Bound" both have multiple meanings, several of which are explored here. But technically they're still opposites. Some really good songs here, if I do say so myself. Enjoy?  ~  JH
