  • Set You Free (N-Trance song)

    "Set You Free" is a song written and recorded by the English dance group N-Trance, featuring vocals from Kelly Llorenna. It was first released as a white label record in 1992, it was re-released in January 1995 and became a chart hit. Later it was remixed and re-released in 2001.

    Writing and recording

    After previously producing two unsuccessful instrumental tracks, "Roobarb" and "Back to the Bass", one of which got them signed to 380 Records, N-Trance decided they needed a female vocalist to sing on future records. Mike Lewis went to the band's old college, The Oldham College, in search of a singer. After being given some recommendations he found sixteen-year-old Kelly Llorenna with her friends in the college's common room.

    After agreeing to meet with the band, Llorenna travelled from Oldham to Kevin O'Toole's house in Shaw and Crompton, fifteen minutes away. As she made her way there, Dale Longworth, Mike Lewis and Kevin O'Toole quickly wrote the song "Set You Free" so that she could have a song to perform. In 1992, "Set You Free" was recorded by N-Trance and Kelly Llorenna at PWL Studios, London (where they had also re-recorded "Back to the Bass" prior to this).

    Set You Free

    by: Gary Allan

    That was a tough goodbye
    And what tore me down was watchin’ her try not to cry
    She asked me to stay and for a minute I thought I might
    Yeah, that was a tough goodbye
    That was a long night
    Full of lookin’ back and wonderin’ what it might ‘a been like
    Must’ve drove her memory across at least ten state lines
    Yeah, that was a long, long night
    Chorus:
    And I’m not quite ready yet
    To settle down or even let
    Someone get a hold of me
    ‘Cause I’m not done being free
    I still have a few roads
    To travel down and Lord knows
    I got way too close that time
    That was a tough goodbye
    That was a hurtin’ kind
    Not the so long after awhile, see ya soon, some other time
    Where I just walk away and everybody’s fine
    No, that was a hurtin’ kind
    Chorus:
    And I’m not quite ready yet
    To settle down or even let
    Someone get a hold of me
    ‘Cause I’m not done being free
    I still have a few roads
    To travel down and Lord knows
    I got way too close that time
    That was a tough goodbye
    I know I won’t find anyone better
    I can’t keep runnin’ forever
    Chorus:
    And I’m not quite ready yet
    To settle down or even let
    Someone get a hold of me
    ‘Cause I’m not done being free
    I still have a few roads
    To travel down and Lord knows
    I got way too close that time
    That was a tough goodbye
    That was a tough goodbye
    That was a tough goodbye
    And what tore me down was watchin’ her try not to cry
