As in life, detours, triumphs, and confusion all play a part in the struggle to find a place where you belong. But what you learn from the journey will enrich the destination. The struggle enriches the finale.


Lyrics:

When you hold onto
Feelings they’ll eat you
When you keep it all inside it’s only hurting you
So baby let it out
If you gotta scream and shout (eh- yeah)
Release the inner troubles that keep you awake at night

Let it Go
Let it Go
Don’t hold it in, just
Let It Go

Let it Go
Let it Go
Don’t hold it in, just
Let It Go

Don’t be afraid to confront the demons that are haunting you
Consequently, the only thing holding you back is you
You can rise and fly and take over the world
If you learn to let it go

Let it Go
Let it Go
Don’t hold it in, just
Let It Go

Let it Go
Let it Go
Don’t hold it in, just
Let It Go

Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

Let it out Let it fly Let it Go
Let it out Let it fly Let it Go
Let it out Let it fly Let it Go
Let it out Let it fly Let it Go

Let it Go
Let it Go
Don’t hold it in, just
Let It Go

Let it Go
Let it Go
Don’t hold it in, just
Let It Go

I have to say, Skip James had the most haunting voice ever. This is one of my favorites by him.

Janis singing “Ball and Chain.” Big Mama Thornton did it first, but this is one of my favorite renditions and performances.

If this doesn’t evoke an emotional response from you, you might want to check your pulse.

Gut-wrenching, chill-inducing, tear-bringing.
