[5a] Everything Is Free

Gillian Welch's voice, Welch and David Rawlings' acoustic guitar arrangement, the melancholy tone of Everything Is Free - whose lyrics reflect the perceived threat at the time (2001) of the free sharing of music files on the Internet - and, the uncompromising affirmation of the independent artist's lifestyle.

Everything Is Free

Gillian Welch

Everything is free now

That's what they say

Everything I ever done

Gonna give it away

Someone hit the big score

They figured it out

That we're gonna do it anyway

Even if doesn't pay

I can get a tip jar

Gas up the car

And try to make a little change

Down at the bar

Or I can get a straight job

I done it before

Never minded working hard

It's who I'm working for

And everything is free now

That's what they say

Everything I ever done

Gotta give it away

Someone hit the big score

They figured it out

That we're gonna do it anyway

Even if doesn't pay

[Instrumental Break]

Every day I wake up

Hummin' a song

But I don't need to run around

I'll just stay at home

And sing a little love song

My love and myself

If there's something that you wanna hear

You can sing it yourself

'Cause everything is free now

That's what I said

No one's gotta listen to

The words in my head

Someone hit the big score

And I figured it out

And I'm gonna do it anyway

Even if doesn't pay
