Letting Go

(Mike Dynamo)

Letting Go is a song about recognizing your own gilded cage high above everyone else and realizing how suffocating it is. Finally, you can find the strength to make your own decisions to let go and leap from your golden balcony into a world that may not be perfect, but will be one that you chose. Has a very Jessie J "Flashlight" feel to it, lots of space for big key changes at the end, and there are also very few songs titled "Letting Go" out there.

## VERSE 1
You who took me in 
Who would be my only friend 
Always made the difference 
Between health and destruction 

You defended me 
When the horde came through the breach
Even from my family 
My very shield from corruption 

## PRE-CHORUS
But then it all changed
I learned why you gave
And kept me away from anyone else 
You trapped me at home 
Put chains on my bones
Suspended me so high
But I'll get down on my own

## CHORUS
So I’m letting go! 
I’m going to fall free
I won’t let you define 
Everything I could be
I’m letting go!
I’m going to fall free
I’ll risk this pain 
Just to know what I could be

I’m letting go oh oh ohhh oh

## VERSE 2
I hid from the truth
Allowed myself to be reduced 
Didn’t have the strength to choose
I let shame be my motive 

And we lived above the trees
I didn’t earn a single thing
Clutching the canopy you made for me
Until I forced my fingers open I'm... 

## CHORUS
...letting go! 
I’m going to fall free
I won’t let you define 
Everything I could be
I’m letting go!
I’m going to fall free
I’ll risk this pain 
Just to know what I could be

## PRE-CHORUS (BRIDGE)
But then it all changed
I learned why you gave
And kept me away from anyone else 
You trapped me at home 
Put chains on my bones
Suspended me so high
But I'll get down on my own

##CHORUS
…So I’m letting go! 
I’m going to fall free
I won’t let you define 
Everything I could be
I’m letting go!
I’m going to fall free
I’ll risk this pain 
Just to know what I could be
I’m letting go oh oh ohhh oh (x2)

It's The Future

By Mike Dynamo

A pure rap song devoted to slick bars and talking about reality as it stands going forward. Automation, greater restrictions, existential dread and enough hip hop might to blow the walls off of a beat it is used on.

Quantum Romance

By Mike Dynamo

A song about the most uplifting and cosmic kind of love. Something felt so deeply that it is promised to happen again and again on every single reality. This love is not merely the choice to two people, but infinite version of the same on and on across infinity.

You're Going

By Mike Dynamo

A more political song speaking up about the complacency some people feel when only wishing for justice. The hope for those of us that need more from our families and countrypeople is that they will begin to recognize how their adherence to privilege and lack of responsibility brings about more shame and pain than they think. The world needs them to step up to.

Everything Naked

By Mike Dynamo

An irreverent party tune about an amazing woman that does everything naked. It's implied she's so comfortable with her body it doesn't matter where she is; she's happy to strip down and go wild having the time of her life. Bits of the song change on the way through, but it's a fun throw back style while still being respectful toward the subject.

George Floyd

By Edward McBride

This song is about finally going too far with police brutality and blatant racism all over the world. It is not only black lives that matter but anyone who is subject to any form of abuse. It is a hate crime. I am white but we must be part of this change as leaders like Donald Trump do not care or lead by example.
