Let Go - Frou Frou

When we get high, our mantra is typically “Let Go”. This came about, not because of this song, but from a strong desire to lean into the high and let it take you where it will. By letting go, we can feel the things we need to feel and think the things we need to think to really enjoy ourselves and even get our minds right.

So when this song randomly came on while we were high, we really let it wash over us. I was introduced to this song in college and loved it immediately. It was underground and unique and I really appreciated it.

It’s funny how lyrics in the songs we love can fly right over our heads, even after hundreds of listens. Even as I write this, I’m discovering that, while the song IS about enjoying the moment, I believe it’s also about something very different: breaking down yourself. Feel the feelings. Feel the sadness. Have the breakdown… then put that shit behind you and enjoy the beauty of you and this life.

This is one of those songs that I over-played for years until I sapped the joy right out of the song. I had to remove it from all playlists and banish it for years. But 2021 is apparently the year to let it back in.
