We Want Your Soul

We Want Your Soul

"We Want Your Soul" is a 2003 breakbeat song by British DJ and producer Adam Freeland; the song made the Top 40 charts in several countries, and resulted in an award-winning music video [ [http://www.opelproductions.com/archives/000206.php Adam Freeland interview] at Opelproductions.com] . It is the first song to which Freeland wrote the lyrics [ [http://www.contactmusic.com/new/home.nsf/webpages/freelandx08x09x03 Freeland - Album Listening Party ] ] , he describes it as being "about the destructive side of consumer culture", and about how commercialism is inescapable.

Rather than being sung, the song's verses are spoken by a speech synthesizer; the song also features a sample of Bill Hicks.

The Target Corporation sought to license "We Want Your Soul" for use in an advertising campaign [ [http://higherfrequency.wordpress.com/2007/04/24/adam-freeland-interview-apr-2004/ Adam Freeland interview] at [http://higherfrequency.wordpress.com/ HigherFrequency] blog] , which Freeland refused.
