My newest and one I wrote hopefully to get a placement in sync (tv-film) It is already on hold by Alex Johnston of CMI Music Group (thru musicxray). Hope it goes forward somewhere. https://on.soundcloud.com/jxxiyI’m Not Caged – My mind was broken Shackled to a room I didn’t notice the chain ‘Til I finally moved Lift: Can’t imprison me I’m no longer caged Can’t condition me I’m no longer caged Chorus: I’m not caged I won’t be afraid Not caged … Won’t be locked away I’m … not … caged I’m not caged In that state of mind I had been condemned I didn’t feel the bars “Til I pushed against them Lift: Can’t imprison me I’m no longer caged Can’t condition me I’m no longer caged Chorus: I’m not caged I won’t be afraid Not caged … Won’t be locked away I’m … not … caged I’m not caged Bridge: 2X I’ve got my wings Feel my rage I’ve broken free Time to swing my blade Final Lift: Can’t imprison me Can’t condition me Chorus: I’m not caged I won’t be afraid Not caged … Won’t be locked away I’m … not … caged I’m not caged I won’t be afraid Not caged … Won’t be locked away I’m … not … caged I’m not caged (c)Marilyn Oakley BMI

Very easy to imagine this in a movie. Really well produced. Often this kind of song sounds overproduced for my taste, but this sounds just right to be playing behind a movie scene or montage and I found it very pleasing in its own right too. Congrats on a great track.

Wow....times ten thousands wow's. deeply intense and so unique. vocals are phenomenal and the story wails out to the listener. this is not just another track it's a roaring train ripping up all the tracks out there. Powerful anthem for all women who feel this way for whatever reason. i was deeply moved. "We are caged by our own ribs, we are caged by societies boundaries, we are caged by detrimental labels that others place on us. but in our soul no cage can hold us. Write on....right on....righteously, Marilyn. Vote out the cages, vote out the wardens and those who keep us from true freedom, walk away from those who cage your love. Ignore those who are cagey, There are no bars to being yourself. break the chains and run joyously anywhere you want.

There is a ton of quality going on here, starting with lyric....
I didn’t notice the chain ‘Til I finally moved,
I didn’t feel the bars “Til I pushed against them
The originality is stunning...you can't teach this stuff.
The opening is so cool and the vocal/harmonies are superb. I love how it builds and then goes quiet at :56. Great production. I wish you the best.
