Every third Thursday of the month in 2018, Jody Mulgrew releases a track, recorded in one afternoon on a limited assortment of tools and instruments.
Vocals are recorded in one take.
Mixed and mastered with reckless abandon, and shared with the world.
This song, and the Figure Loop for the song were created as part of a Songwriter Lockout hosted by Dave Booda in November of 2017.
Adhering to the rules of the Immersion Composition Society and The Frustrated Songwriters Handbook ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersion_Composition_Society )
Five songwriters came together to write 10 songs each in 6 hours.
I recorded this song in a day in the second half of January 2018 as the inaugural Throwaway Thursday.
Tools: Macbook Pro, Studio One Prime, Figure (iPhone App), Martin 000-15 Acoustic Guitar, and Studio One's Presence Software Synthesizer.
lyrics
LET ME GO - words and music Jody Mulgrew
You know you put that cupid's arrow deep in my soul
I tried to take it out quick, but I still feel the hole
What I did before I met you, babe, I don't even know
That's why it's so hard, baby, to let you go
So please...Please...
Oh, Oh, You gotta let me go
There's something about you, baby, I don't understand
You lead me into deep water then let go of my hand
Expecting that I will blindly follow your commands
Only when I start drowning do you throw me your hand
So please...Please...
Oh, Oh, You gotta let me go
I never got so high as when I fell for your love
I brushed up against angels on the wings of a dove
I saw just how cruel the world looked, looking down from above
I never got so high till I fell for your love
So please...Please...
Oh, Oh, You gotta let me go
