"Free" is a song by Vermont-based jam band Phish, released as the first single from their 1996 album Billy Breathes. The track reached number 7 on the Billboard Adult Alternative Airplay chart, becoming their first song to reach the top 10 on that (or any) chart.[1] It also reached numbers 11 and 24 on the Mainstream Rock and Alternative Airplay charts, respectively, as their highest chart entry on the former and their only chart entry on the latter.[2][3] It was also the band's first song to chart in Canada, peaking at No. 68 in 1997.[4]
"Strange Design" is an outtake from the Billy Breathes sessions and has been played live by the band both before and after the release of the album.
