In Loving Memory

Stephen Lewis Swan

July 13, 1981 - June 19, 2008


Update August 4, 2009 - I have added MP3s of the remaining songs on three of our older CDs. Just go to the original Freebore web page (see link below) and go to the "Clips" tab.

Steve and one of his best friends, Matthew Butler, were senselessly murdered in the early morning hours of June 19, 2008, as they were leaving Matt's recording studio, Zion Gate Records, in Garland, Texas.

Our memories of Steve are enhanced by the wealth of music that he wrote and recorded during his short lifetime. This site is dedicated to Steve and his music.

This is a work in progress. The original Freebore page (see link below) contains several complete songs and excepts of a few more. However, we intend make even more music available for listening in the future. He wrote hundreds of songs, some of which only got to the stage of demo recordings.

In the meantime, here are some links for your enjoyment and information.

To go to the original Freebore web page (which we have left unchanged for the present), click on the link below.

The following photo tribute on YouTube is set to the background of two of Steve's most recent songs: "All The Footprints" and "God Forgive Us All:"

All The Footprints

This photo tribute (also on YouTube) is set to the background of his song, "We All Die Before Our Time." Steve was battling Hodgkins Lymphoma during 2007, and we believe that was what inspired this song:

We All Die Before Our Time

More YouTube videos featuring Steve's music:

Here is a story that was done by a local TV station:

Channel 11/21 Story

Before they changed their name to "Freebore," the boys called their band the "xRay Betas." They had a free site with angelfire, which is still up. They were a little younger, and we get a kick out of viewing it from time to time.

The xRay Betas!
