The Meir's newest single, "Free," is about that hard moment when it's the only way to move forward to free someone. It is, basically, accepting a relationship that mattered but not holding on to something that has run its course between disappointment and love and acceptance.
And it's about moving on, not saying the past didn't happen. The disappointment is palpable, but there is room for affection after parting in "You are gone but not lost to me," and that choice is personal in "Now you are free as a man can be." That's the emotional truth of "Free." You can go and still not be meaningless.
Guitars, cinematic textures, vocals, and a rising chorus all contribute to that feeling of release. The different parts take the song to the same emotional place, giving it an atmospheric feel that fits the subject matter. Ultimately, "Free" is about accepting the end, while paying tribute to the past. A tender picture of letting go, not erasing the love that was.
