There are songs that speak — and then there are songs that heal. “My Free Heart” is one of those rare pieces that does both. It’s a deeply personal and profoundly universal song, born from the lived experiences of an artist who has known conflict, displacement, and the power of music to transcend them all. In his latest single, Iranian-born, Bali-based artist and sound healer Shervin Boloorian offers a heartfelt plea for peace, dignity, and freedom — not just for one nation, but for the human spirit itself.

Shervin’s life story is woven into every note of “My Free Heart.” As a refugee turned international artist, his music has always carried a sense of global awareness, but here, that message is sharper and more personal. Recorded in both English and Persian, the song bridges cultures while amplifying a single truth: freedom and humanity are universal.

The English version unfolds like a gentle invitation — steady guitar riffs and warm vocals guide the listener into a space of quiet reflection. The Persian version, however, carries a deeper ache, a kind of ancestral resonance that feels almost sacred. It is not just a translation but a reimagining, giving the song new layers of emotion and historical weight.

“My Free Heart” may sound effortlessly soothing, but its construction is deceptively intricate. At the heart of the track is Shervin’s simple, elegant guitar riff, a foundation described by producer Kipper Eldridge as “beautifully simple and deceptively complex.” Surrounding it is a carefully curated soundscape: Carl Young (Spearhead) on bass, Sakari Heikka on viola and shakuhachi flute, and Kipper himself on keys.

The result is a sound that blends organic world music textures with refined production — cinematic but intimate, global yet deeply personal. The instrumentation doesn’t overshadow Shervin’s voice; it carries it like wind under a bird’s wing.

Shervin is known for his delicate, heart-opening vocals, and on “My Free Heart,” his delivery is nothing short of luminous. His voice doesn’t force emotion — it embodies it. There’s warmth, vulnerability, and quiet power in every syllable, carrying a message that transcends language. It’s a vocal performance that leaves space for the listener, inviting them not just to hear, but to feel.

Thematically, “My Free Heart” is a tribute to those who have stood for dignity and freedom. It’s a response to war, conflict, and displacement — experiences Shervin himself has faced. His words carry the weight of lived truth: this is not abstract activism, but a personal offering to those still fighting for peace.

The Persian-language video further amplifies this message, featuring real footage from Iran alongside art and visual poetry by Dr. Hardini Dyah Astuti. It’s an evocative pairing that grounds the music in real human stories, turning the song into a form of remembrance and resistance.

Shervin’s reputation as a sound healer isn’t just a title — it’s evident in how this song makes you feel. Known for launching Bali’s first live healing music program at The Yoga Barn in Ubud and for winning three Global Peace Song Awards, he has spent years proving that music can be both art and medicine. “My Free Heart” continues that legacy, inviting listeners to rise above conflict and embrace shared humanity.

“My Free Heart” isn’t a protest anthem in the conventional sense — it’s something quieter and more enduring. It’s a reminder that hope can survive exile, love can outlive war, and freedom can be sung into being.

For anyone who has ever longed for peace — or simply believes in the unbreakable strength of the human heart — this song will resonate deeply. In both English and Persian, Shervin Boloorian has created a work that is as tender as it is timeless.
