"Free Range" is a song by British post-punk band the Fall, written by vocalist Mark E. Smith with the band's drummer Simon Wolstencroft.
It was released on the band's 1992 album Code: Selfish, and as a single, reaching number 40 on the UK singles chart[1] and becoming the highest-charting single of any of the Fall's original songs.
The single and album versions differ as the album version includes part of a different take.
[2] Smith's lyrics string together images and streams of consciousness, and were described by Ted Mills at Allmusic as showing "prepsicognition" of the then-impending wars resulting in the break-up of Yugoslavia.
[3] "Free Range" showcased the growing influence of techno and dance music on the band's sound, largely brought by new keyboardist Dave Bush.
