Letitgo

About Letitgo

"Letitgo" is a song by American musician Prince from his 1994 album Come. Despite statements that the album consisted entirely of "old" material, "Letitgo" was actually newly composed for the album. The mid-tempo song relies heavily on a drum machine pattern and bass guitar with synthesizers in the refrain. A keyboard and percussion solo appear toward the end. The song is sung in falsetto in unison with another track layered in his regular, lower register. Kathleen Bradford provides backing vocals, while Eric Leeds provides flute accompaniment. The track was produced, arranged, composed and performed by Prince, with the additions of Kathleen Bradford on background vocals, Eric Leeds on flute and additional keyboards by Ricky Peterson. The lyrics speak of Prince's disappointment with Warner Bros. Records' decision not to release music as quickly as Prince created it. He chides them that they will be sorry when he leaves the company. The B-side was the album track "Solo", a downbeat number with Prince's voice only accompanied by harp, which was composed by David Henry Hwang. The title refers not to a musical solo, but actually that Prince's mood is "so low". It ties in with the slightly more upbeat "Letitgo". In addition, a CD single was released in the UK containing an edit of "Letitgo", "Solo", the extended version of "Alexa de Paris" (originally the B-side to "Mountains" in 1986) and "Pope", which was originally on The Hits 2 from 1993. A maxi single on CD and vinyl included several remixes of the track provided by Quincy "QD3" Jones III, Chronic Freeze., J-Sw!ft and Gerald "G Bomb" Baillergeau. more »

(Ready or not, here I come)
(Come on)
(Come on)

All my life I've kept my feelings deep inside
Never was a reason to let somebody know
Lover here, lover there, who cried? Who cares? Foolish pride
Never was a good seat at any of this man's shows

Until now all I wanted to do is
Do do do what I do, and
Bang bang bang on the drummer
And love so-and-so

But now I've got to let it go (let it go)
Lay back and let the vibe just flow
I want to just let it go (let it go)
Lay back and let my feelings show
(Let it go)

I'm ready for the real
Give me something I can feel

All my life this heart's been under lock and key
My curtains were drawn there wasn't nobody home
Trigger here, trigger there, everybody's high except for me
Better off dead if I couldn't be alone

Until now all I wanted to do is
Do do do what I do, and
Bang bang bang on the drummer
And love so-and-so

But now I've got to let it go (let it go)
Lay back and let the vibe just flow
I want to just let it go (let it go)
Lay back and let my feelings show

I, I'm ready for the real
Give me something I can feel

Fourteen years and tears I've longed to sing my song
But a horse couldn't drag your ass to put me on
But now I've got an army and we're three million strong
This song will ring in your ears when we are gone

Until now all I wanted to do is
Do do do what I do, and
Bang bang bang on the drummer
And love so-and-so

But now I want to let it go (let it go)
Lay back and let the vibe just flow
Said I want to let it go (let it go)
Lay back and let the feelings show

I am ready for the real 
(Come a little closer)

Let it go
Lay back an' let the vibe just flow
