Subject: Tune Req: Born Free A Heart Must Wander From: Galloping Gwdihw Date: 06 Jun 15 - 11:30 PM Hello folks, somebody wrote the lyrics to this song down in a Tanners Hatch YHA log book a long long time ago but I'm curious to know what it sounds like actually sung... does anyone know where I can find the tune, or better still, an actual recording of it, please?! Cheers x Born free a heart must wander Born free a heart must roam Out there the hills over yonder Seem to be calling me home Out there a restless wind blows That's where I long to be I must go where the wind goes Just like the wind, I was born to be free. My heart has no chains The world must be mine to explore The hills and the plains Are waiting just outside my door Don't wait for my returning There's much I must see I must follow this yearning Feed this fire that is burning I was born to be free. |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Born Free A Heart Must Wander From: GUEST,# Date: 07 Jun 15 - 07:15 AM https://itunes.apple.com/nz/album/born-free-single/id402049927 Song 200 on that site is named Born Free. I have no way to give it a listen. The song you want is a Girl Scout song which I think you've determined by now (if your name is Iris). It appears as a poem in a few spots and the lyrics don't differ from those you've presented. However, I have been unable to hear the song at that link. If you could check it out and yea or nay it, that would help narrow things down a bit. |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Born Free A Heart Must Wander From: Galloping Gwdihw Date: 20 Jun 15 - 05:23 AM Thanks for the replies, both. It's definitely not a variant of Don Black's 'Born Free' and the iTunes link links to a different song altogether from the one I'm trying to find... thanks for trying to help though! :) |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Born Free A Heart Must Wander From: GUEST Date: 25 Aug 15 - 02:03 AM @gargoyle: Sorry, I missed the bit in italics at the bottom of your post, lol.... Tanners Hatch Youth Hostel is near Dorking in Surrey, England, and I'd guess the decade "Born Free A Heart Must Wander" was written down in the log book was the 70's... |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Born Free A Heart Must Wander From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 25 Aug 15 - 10:49 AM That's a hard poem to set to music, because it's irregular in meter and different lines are different lengths. You can't just devise one or two themes and set the verses to them. |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Born Free A Heart Must Wander From: GUEST,Lynne Date: 09 Nov 16 - 08:29 PM Don't know if anyone is still looking for the tune. I tried to recreate it from memory - Girl Scout camp 1969. This song left a big impression on me. Is this close to what you remember? piano keys from VirtualPiano.net C25, G32,E29, F30 E29 C25, D27, C25, G32,E29, F30 E29, D27 C25, C37,C37,B36, B36,A34,G32, F30E29,F30,G32,C25,D27,E29,D27 C25, G32,E29, F30 E29 C25, D27, C25, G32,E29, F30 E29, D27 C25, C37,B36, B36,A34,G32, F30E29,F30,G32,C25,D27,E29,D27 |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Born Free A Heart Must Wander From: GUEST,Lynne Date: 09 Nov 16 - 10:50 PM Here is the whole song fro what I could remember. The key might be wrong but try it- might spark a memory for you too. I used virtual piano.net to play C25, G32,E29, F30 E29 C25, D27 C25, G32,E29, F30 E29, D27 Born free a heart must wander, born free a heart must roam C25, C37,C37,B36, B36,A34,G32, F30E29,F30,G32,C25,D27,E29,D27 Out there the hills over yonder seem to be calling me home C25, G32,E29, F30 E29 C25, D27, Out there a restless wind blows C25, G32,E29, F30 E29, D27 That's where I long to be C25, C37,B36, B36,A34,G32,F30, E29,F30,G32,C25,D27,E29,D27,C25,B24,C25 I must go where the wind goes, just like the wind, I was born to be free. 3rd Verse is very different, Not sure if this is the right key but you should be able to get the idea G32,D39,C37,B36,C37, G32,D39,D39,D39,D39,C37,B36,,C37, My heart has no chains, The world must be mine to explore C37, C37,B36,A34,B36 B36,C37,B36,A34,A34,G32,A34,G32 The hills and the plains Are waiting just outside my door Last verse almost like 1st but the end is different. C25, G32,E29, F30 E29 C25, D27 C25, G32,E29, F30 E29, D27 Don't wait for my returning, There's much that I must see C25,C37,B36,B36,A34,G32,F30 I must follow this yearning C25,C37,D39,D39,D39,C37,B36,A34 Feed this fire that is burning C25,C37,D39,C37,B34,C37 I was born to be free. |

Sorry about the slow response, this is the first time I've visited the Mudcat site for months! Sadly, I don't play an instrument and can't read music, so can't descipher this on my own... will get a musical friend to help me, lol... Thanks again!!! xx |

Subject: RE: Tune Req: Born Free A Heart Must Wander From: GUEST,Valerie Magee Date: 26 Jul 18 - 09:00 AM This song was recorded by The Brothers Four. It's on You Tube, along with a picture of the 45 of "Try to Remember" shown as side 2. I wonder if that was a random choice of a photo, or if the A side was this song? |
