A StarfishStories project in support of the "Let The Dolphins Go" ACRES's campaign, to free the dolphins at Resorts World Sentosa. See http://www.saddestdolphins.com.

Initial musical draft ["Free (raw version) 010611"] composed and created by Adrian Loo. Lyrics by I-Ling Chia. Final mix, plus additional guitars, by Ivan Chew. Feel free to copy/ share/ remix/ sell the tracks under the stated CC license. Please credit: "Starfish Stories :: The Band - StarfishStories.wordpress.com"

Adrian composed the raw draft for the dolphin campaign. Titled it "Free". He wrote, "Imagine dolphins porpoising in the water". Then I-Ling came up with the words:
==============================
Free

Leap and turn in the air
Like a child at play
Whistle songs, sing your dreams
In the summer rays
Feel the rush of the currents
Find your way in the ocean

Glide along, ride the crest
Thereâs no turning back
Hold your breath and break the waves
Full speed ahead
Feel the rush of the currents
Youâre a child of the ocean

Youâre free. So free, oh, so free.
Breathe. Youâre free, so free.
==============================

Capturing intelligent creatures, who were roaming free, for the sake of entertainment. And calling the move as part of contribution to research. Doesn't make a lot of sense.

Please, let the dolphins go.
