Reseña
La discografía de Supertramp vive su momento más experimental y controvertido con este álbum. En "Free As A Bird", Rick Davies decide sumergir a la banda por completo en el sonido de finales de los ochenta, incorporando masivamente sintetizadores, baterías programadas y ritmos de influencia funk y dance. Por consiguiente, el resultado es el disco que más se aleja del sonido clásico de Supertramp, lo que sorprendió y dividió a muchos de sus seguidores.
De hecho, la producción es deliberadamente sintética y pulida, buscando un atractivo comercial contemporáneo. Además, las canciones abandonan las estructuras progresivas para centrarse en formatos más convencionales de pop y R&B. Por ejemplo, el tema que da título al disco es un intento claro de crear un himno pop optimista con una producción muy marcada por su época. Es decir, "Free As A Bird" es un experimento valiente, aunque no del todo exitoso, de una banda que intenta adaptarse a un panorama musical en constante cambio.

[X]letra de Not the Moment
I can't believe what you're saying about me
I can't believe it's true
You know you never should doubt me and take this attitude
You say, "There's somethin' between us"
That something just ain't right
But every time I ask you to tell me why
You say, "It's not the moment"
You say, "It's not the moment"
You say you're tired of walking on eggshells and falling in between
That I'm two timing you but you know quite well that's just not my scene
An' now my friends are starting to call me
They say, "There's somethin' wrong"
Ah, but you just continue to stall me
You say, "It's not the moment"
You say, "It's not the moment"
Ya, we need to talk this through
I do depend on you
So let it out and try to clear the air
I've got nothing I should hide
I'm burning up inside
But you just act like you don't even care
Oh, well I know sometimes it ain't easy
I know you're feeling bad
But you know it's the wrong time to tease me
It just gets me mad
I'm goin' to find out sooner or later
Just what you're tryin' to say
So, when I ask you now for just one more time
Don't say, "It's not the moment"
Don't say, "It's not the moment"
Ya, we need to talk this through
I do depend on you
So let it out and try to clear the air
I've got nothing I should hide
I'm burning up inside
But you just act like you don't even care
I told you I would be your friend
Be there to the very end
And then you had to let me down
And go spreading dirty words around

- Where I StandVer letra 3:41
[X]letra de Where I Stand
Haa, huh
Well, I'm a wreck and I'm a tangle
And though I try to find an angle
Can't find my way around you
No matter what I do
And nothing's right since you left me
My life was full but now it's empty
Can't find my way around you
You say, that you can't see a way
(No matter what I do)
That I can be a part of you
It doesn't matter what I do
Tried every trick that I can think of
But you don't seem to think it's true love
You take no notice of me
Oh my, chance has passed me by
(Oh, why can't you see?)
See a way to change your mind
Just let me know and I'll keep trying
All my confidence is gone
I was pretty sure that you would come along
Thought that I would be your man
But now I never know just where I stand with you
I used to be the kind of guy
Who could be in your arms before you'd realize
Now the tables have been turned
If you play with fire you know you sure get burned
Now, all my confidence is gone
I was pretty sure that you would come along
Thought that I would be your man
But now I never know just where I stand with you
Oh, where I stand with you
Just where I stand, where I stand, where I stand with you?
I never know, you had to go
Where I stand with you?
You broke my heart, it came apart
Where do I stand with you?
Where I stand?
(Where I stand?)
Where I stand?
(Where I stand?)
Just where I stand with you?
(Where I stand with you?)
I never know
(I never know)
You have to go
Where I stand with you?

[X]letra de Free as a Bird
When a spirit is broken
Why go on
When there's nothing to say
And a love just a token
It was strong
Now it's fading away
Ah but I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night
And our love it was over
Long ago
But we just didn't say
And the years they have fallen
One by one
How they drifted away
But now I'm free as a bird
As I walk out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm feeling OK
As I face the brand new day
As I face the brand new day
You know I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night
As I face the lonely night
No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more heartaches bother me
Don't wear my heartaches on my sleeve
It's gonna be a brand new story
What's the use of former glory
It's better not to do if you can't do right
It's time to get to celebrating
After all the years of waiting
I'm gonna have a ball if it takes all night - I'm Beggin' You 5:30
- You Never Can Tell With FriendsVer letra 4:18
[X]letra de You Never Can Tell With Friends
One, two, three
Yes, I've been waitin', but you just don't come around
You've been droppin' in on everyone all over town
Say what you like, but you just don't know your place
And everywhere we go, people seem to know your face
You've been checkin' out the scene, every single night
Never knowing where you've been, you say, "It's alright"
I placed all my faith in you, then you let me down
Everything I said is true, but you don't hear a sound
Yeah you ought to be ashamed, but you don't accept the blame
They said it was too late, for your love
They said it was too late, you're gonna go
They said I was too late, for your love
They said I was too late, you're gonna go
You never can tell with friends
You never can tell with, you never can tell with
You never can tell with friends
You never can tell with, you never can tell with
Yes, every now and then, my mind turns things around
And I believe it's true, that our love can still be found
Just one thing I care about, from sea to shining sea
And you know that's the love you give, the love you give to me
You've been checkin' out the scene, every single night
Never knowing where you've been, you say, "It's alright"
I placed all my faith in you, then you let me down
Everything I said is true, but you don't hear a sound
Yeah you ought to be ashamed, but you don't accept the blame
They said it was too late, for your love
They said it was too late, you're gonna go
They said I've been too late, for your love
They said it was too late, you're gonna go
You never can tell with friends
You never can tell with, you never can tell with
You never can tell with friends
You never can tell with, you never can tell with
You never can tell with friends

- Thing for YouVer letra 4:00
[X]letra de Thing for You
Oh Lordy I got to feelin' so cold
You know the mornin' it ain't too good for my soul
I've been workin' an' in some faraway place
I got to thinkin' about your sweet smilin' face
I got a thing for you, if you want me to
Gonna change all my ways
I'm gonna get off the road, I'm gonna lighten my load
I got a thing for you, can you feel it too?
I think I better slow down
All my wandering's done, I found my place in the sun
Ah woman, why d'you treat me this way?
You don't believe a single word that I say
But it's the truth now, you know I'll be home for good
So what's with you now, I thought that you understood
I got a thing for you, if you want me to
Gonna change all my ways
Gonna get off the road, I'm gonna lighten my load
There ain't a woman alive could ever come close to you
I won't know how to survive, so don't you fake with my view
You say I'm putting you on and soon you'll be on your way
Well woman you're wrong and that is all I can say, all I can say
I got a thing for you, an' if you want me to
Gonna change all my ways
Gonna get off the road, I'm gonna lighten my load
I got a thing for you, can you feel it too?
I think I better slow down
All my wandering's done, I found my place in the sun
I got a thing for you
If you want me to, gonna change all my ways
I'm gonna get off the road, I'm gonna lighten my load
