They have switched course and decided to release "Play The Song" instead of "Free Bird." It goes for adds March 16th. While a smart thing, I can't help but think this song will NOT do any better due to the lyrics being more or less aimed at radio programmers. It's a great, great song but Radio just won't "play the song."

Any insight on why the switch was made? Me and SGG noticed "Free Bird" was taken off Play MPE last week.

I could ask them. I know that people love or like their version of "Free Bird" but perhaps they just decided to listen to the audience and not release a 'cover song.'

Every time I hear this song, I find myself wishing it was a few beats faster.

I prefer this one as the single. :) It's frivolous yet cheeky, and it's got great message. I really want to see the faces of those radio programmers when they hear this song...  |

I like this song, but their last single was upbeat...i think a slower song would be really great...i really was starting to like free bird, its really a beautiful cover :( i hope the next single is a slower song!

Good song. Great message. Wonderful CD. Now if only they could get some real airplay.
