Why are there actually no playgrounds for adults? A place where you let go of everything for a moment and have pure fun. In Tom Van Laeres universe is called that playground Admiral Freebee: a place where making music, singing, and playing together with friends and heroes are central. From that unforced urge, Raw Fun was born, a record that bubbles with energy. In the theaters, Admiral Freebee translates this record into a more intense, compelling set.
Dog That Never Dies, the most subdued moment of the last record, is perhaps the harbinger of what you will hear. In a sober, almost hushed setting, the song unfolds as an emotional core: a reflection on everything that preceded and perhaps also a hint to what remains.
Everyone is at war these days
I see people changing in the strangest ways
And what doesn’t kill you
It always leaves a scar
It makes you a little weird
It makes you who you are
Admiral Freebee invites you into halls where the music is allowed to breathe. Where you sit, listen, and the songs of Raw Fun let themselves be felt in a different way: more intimate, closer.
