Free me

Reviewer- Bikash Shrestha

“Free me” is one of the most successful songs of the British heavy metal Band-Uriah Heep (A fictional character from Charles Dickens novel-David Copperfield). Uriah Heep is represented as one of the pioneers of British heavy metal scene of the seventies. Although a heavy metal band, Uriah Heep’s “Free me” does not represent a typical heavy metal song.

The end of the innocence
Reviewers-Bikash Shrestha/Nirab Kayastha
No doubt, one of the best creations of former Eagles front-man, Don Henley, ‘The end of the innocence’ is a song which would stay in our hearts forever. The title track of his third album post Eagles disbandment, co-written with Bruce Hornsby, is a soothing song with a tinge of melodious pop rock with deep sentimental touch.
