Innerpartysystem (often stylized as InnerPartySystem) was an American electronic rock band. The group consisted of Patrick Nissley, Jared Piccone and Kris Barman. The band was well known for their live performance lighting largely by Andrew Nissley and videos directed by Stephen Penta.
The band was named for a term used in the George Orwell novel Nineteen Eighty-Four.
Their debut EP The Download EP was released in November 2007 and their debut self-titled album in late September 2008. As of late 2008 the band started releasing seasonal mixtapes, new remixes including Ladyhawke's track "Paris Is Burning" and Katy Perry's "Hot n Cold". In May 2009 the band digitally released the UK equivalent of The Download EP, entitled Heart of Fire. As of October 2009, the band worked towards their EP Never Be Content, which was released in February 2011.
After rumours circulated the internet on Jesse Cronan leaving the band, it was confirmed on March 3, 2010 by a blog post by Cronan. Cronan stated that his reasons for leaving were because he felt "unsatisifed and unmotivated".
Free like the river
Flowing freely through infinity
Free to be sure of
What I am and who I need not be
Free from all worries
Worries prey on oneself's troubled mind
Freer than the clock's hands
Tickin' way the times
Freer than the meaning of free that man defines
Life running through me
Till I feel my father God has called
Free to be nowhere
But in every place I need to be
Freer than a sunbeam
Shining through my soul
Free from feelin' heat or knowing bitter cold
Free like the river
Free like the river
oooh hooo I am free
I'm Free, like the river.
I'm Free, like the mountain.
I'm Free, like the river.
Goin' through my mind...
I'm Free hehey like the river
oooh hooo I am free
Free
Free eee
I am Free
Free like the river
oooh hooo I am free.
