This is a song I wrote last year after practicing the guitar and forcing myself to learn some new guitar chords. I wish I had continued the guitar practice, but it kind of died a quiet death of neglect. However, I did end up with a song that I was happy with, especially the musical aspects of it.
I would very much like to thank all of the musicians who collaborated on this - a very talented cadre indeed.

Lyrics
V1
Who was I fooling with that bluster and bluff?
A one-act drama starring me talking tough.
Always the underdog, behind in the race,
I was saving face
But I'm in a new place. And I thought you should
That I'm letting go now.
I'm just letting go.
V2
Just like a kid with a balloon on a string
Holding so tightly, it's the natural thing.
The day goes windy, then the morning turns grey,
And it gets away.
But it's a new day.
And I thought you should know
That I'm letting go now.
I'm just letting go.
Bridge
One finger at a time,
Feel it starting to slip.
I'm letting go the line,
And relaxing my grip.
V3
Never much of an original mind,
I had simple plan and followed it blind.
I was meant for something that was not meant to be
That's my guilty plea.
But it's a new me.
And I thought you should know
I'm letting go now.
I'm just letting go.
I'm letting go now,
I'm just letting go.
