Let It Go


wave your limes
Originally uploaded by ravelite
Finally, a new song (arrangement by Ferdi and me):
Let It Go

On a rainy night after a flamenco concert
I was taken by some friends to a bar
And she told me after moving to the city
I should rather take each day as it comes

Than trying to rebuild the old life here
Catarina told me

Let it go, let it go
Let it go, let it go

Knowing me you can imagine my objection
To letting some external force decide what I will be
That I'm so obsessed with "personal culture"
To simply leave behind the habits and friendships that we built

And I try to play the piano, like my friend Rob
But the chords don't really ring
And say... nothing

Time and distance can be conquered
That's what I used to say to my ex-girlfriends
And I still believe it's true that we can all be heroes
Only sometimes we forget

I like this a lot and not because I got the shout out :-)

The guitar is a good contrast to the piano here.

More please!

Thanks for the good words. We definitely want to keep writing these.

Thanks.

Lately I've just been trying to write quickly what I am thinking, than trying to be too elaborate. Don't know if it helps.

That's lovely. I like the lyrics a lot... I'd love to hear a better recording where I can hear you singing more. Though that's some nice guitar work, goes well with the piano.

I'll send you a piano+voice version when I can get it off my recorder.
