"You Make Me Feel So Free" is a song written by Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison and recorded on his 1979 album, Into the Music.

Biographer Johnny Rogan writes about the song "It seems that the surer the singer is of his message, the clearer is his enunciation, and that he is more prone to chew on his words when he is less confident in the song itself. This seems true of "You Make Me Feel So Free", though the message of the title seems clear enough. There are musical compensations in David Hayes' bubbling bass and Pee Wee Ellis' saxophone solo."[1]
