Walt,
I havn't heard many songs about the concept of free will, except for Rush's song of them same name, which I found banal and uninteresting, despite the frantic, high powered instrumental. (You can't hear most of the lyrics, anyway.)
This is more of a spoken word number over a flowing rhythmic dance groove. It reminds me of Gil Scott Heron quite a bit, who was a rapper before we had that term.
This track has a really cool jazz-flavored feel with lyrics that aren't preachy- and they fit (rhythmically) the instrumental well. The repetition (in time) with delay really works.
Cool and interesting number.
Cheers,
Bert
