Letting Go

Sometimes a dream is just as inspiring as its corresponding reality. I was so excited to have my first vision quest in the wilderness of Minnesota that I wrote a song in advance.

I’m a 90’s kid. Grunge, Alternative, and mainstream Punk all thrown in a pot and brought to a boil. It’s foundational. Weezer’s Blue Album, Green Day’s Dookie, Soundgarden’s Superunknown, Silverchair’s Frogstomp, Smashing Pumpkin’s Siamese Dream, and Nirvana’s In Utero are not just great albums but inform my creations.

Letting Go comes from some of that. It’s a song that captures my eagerness to break away, seek release, have an outlet, and get it all out.

 

Lyrics

I’ve been scratching
For some space
To get my head
On the page

There’s only so much
That I can fit
Inside my head
Before it splits

Chorus
Feel the pressure
building up
Gotta get away
before I blow

Knock the arrow
Bend the bow
Feather to my cheek
I’m letting go

Verse 2
I’ve been Itching
For a place
To get my head
On the page

There’s only so much
I can take
Before bending
Before I break
