You Are Free is the sixth album by American singer-songwriter Cat Power (a.k.a. Chan Marshall). It was released in 2003 on Matador Records.
The album features guest appearances by Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and Nirvana, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and Warren Ellis of the Dirty Three.
You Are Free was recorded over the course of a year, the longest Marshall had spent recording an album at that point. Marshall and engineer Adam Kasper recorded about 40 songs during these sessions.
In a 2003 interview with Pitchfork, Marshall explained the album was recorded "Sporadically. While I was traveling...Adam was working on other things, and I worked on his schedule. He'd get these really nice studios, and when he had off time we'd go in and then try to remember what we did like two months ago and pull that tape up. I'd be like, 'Uh, no, I wanna do something new,' and then I'd write a new song. So it basically worked like that-- every few months getting together and essentially writing new songs." According to Marshall, Kasper helped her decide which of the 40 songs they recorded should make it onto the album.

I had a dream last night
That we lost the fight
I had a reason to stay in the back of my head
But I still have to say goodbye
Here in this bed
Free, you are free
Free, you are free
You oughta lay down low
Covered in packs of snow
Lay down low
Covered in packs of snow
I had a dream last night
Cold sweatin' woke in a fright
Counted up all the years
And it soon became clear
Despite all the tears you can cry
We're nearing the end
Free, you are free
Free, you are free
Stop telling me the right way to go
I'm on my own
You're selling our old ways
Stop telling me the right way to go
I'm on my own
You're selling our old ways
Stop telling me the right way to go
I'm on my own
You're selling our old ways
Stop telling me the right way to go
I'm on my own
You are free, you are free
Like everything wants to be
Free, you are free
