BECAUSE HE LET SOMEONE GO

Just sharing with you my new favourite.

Passenger's 'Let Her Go'. If the band is unheard of, well now the world whole knows them because of this awesome song. The Passenger is actually the stage name for Brit singer, Michael David Rosenberg. He penned a few good songs, including another one of my favourites, 'The Wrong Direction', which quite aptly describes me.

Anyway 'Let Her Go' has been hitting the local airwaves and topping charts around the world, making its way to my heart too. I feel in love the first time I heard it. 

The song is simple - it is about knowing how much something or someone mean to you, only once it is gone. This is the biggest problem about human beings, we never know how to appreciate what we have until we lose it. For me, I think the song is about appreciation. For the writer/singer, I think the song is about missing someone and feeling empty because you lost someone that means so much to you. Whatever it is ... it is a good song. Enjoy.

Well you only need the light when it's burning low

Only miss the sun when it starts to snow

Only know you love her when you let her go

Only know you've been high when you're feeling low

Only hate the road when you're missing home

Only know you love her when you let her go

And you let her go

Staring at the bottom of your glass

Hoping one day you'll make a dream last

But dreams come slow and they go fast

You see her when you close your eyes

Maybe one day you'll understand why 

Everything you touch surely dies 

Staring at the ceiling in the dark

Same old empty feeling in your heart

'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast

Well you see her when you fall asleep

But never to touch and never to keep

'Cause you love her too much and you dive too deep
