yeah this article's gotta be about both "Captivity" and "Freedom", because both are canon and appear to be part of the same song, from Ood perspective

'''" | The '''"Songs of Freedom and Captivity"''' were hymn-like pieces of music sung by the [[Ood]], around the time of their great struggle on the [[Ood Sphere]] for liberation from [[Human]] exploitation. Because of the fluid and narrative nature of Ood song, however, it was not clear that they were actually separate songs, or merely one long story. | ||
[[Tenth Doctor|The Doctor]] could hear what might be called the "Song of Captivity" the whole time he was on the planet, but [[Donna Noble]] and other Humans could not. Donna asked for the Doctor to allow her to hear it, but then could not bear its aching sadness. | |||
Later, after they had won their release, the melody shifted to something more uplifting. Although the Doctor would obviously have been able to detect this shift of tempo and tone, it was unclear whether Donna did. Nevertheless, when they departed the Ood Sphere, the Doctor and Donna — or as the ood put it, "the Doctor Donna" — knew the Ood were singing a "Song of Freedom".
