Jay Tyrer - Letting Go

Its always been the little things that get to me,
I don't know why? what? who? or where? I'm meant to be,
But life's about the story that we unfold,
And after all these years my story's still untold.

I don't know why? what? when? or who?
I don't know what I'm meant to do,
I just sit here everyday,
Thinking it will be okay,
Its over. I'll take my time

Letting go, yeah it's out of my control,
And i think i already know,
I'm letting go.
Letting go, yeah its playing on my mind,
Everything goes over time,
I'm letting go.

Her eyes are like the bluest skies,
Beneath them i can see no lies,
Theres a little part of me you'll never know,
The part that i will never show,
I'll take my time.

Letting go, yeah it's out of my control,
And i think i already know,
I'm letting go.
Letting go, yeah its playing on my mind,
Everything goes over time,
I'm letting go.

Im letting go

Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

I'm letting go,
Im letting go.

Letting go, yeah it's out of my control,
And i think i already know,
I'm letting go.
Letting go, yeah its playing on my mind,
Everything goes over time,
I'm letting go.

Analysis of the Lyrics-

"This is one of my newer songs and is basically about letting go of something or someone who means the world to you, and i found the best way for this to happen was to write it in lyrics and make something that can last a lifetime in a song :)" - Jay Tyrer

The lyrics for this song allow us to be very open with our selections regarding the music video, This is because of the fact that the saying "Letting Go" can be linked to many varied things, for example, Letting go of a loved one, Letting go of something you hated, Physically Letting go and Letting yourself go, either emotionally or physically.

"Her eyes are like the bluest skies,
Beneath them i can see no lies"

Some lyrics, like these for example inspire many creative shot oppurtunitys, such as using shot reverse shots between different images, or even just showing things like blue skies rather than showing the girl that this song is about.

"I don't know why? what? who? or where? I'm meant to be,"

The tempo of this song also allows us to create an interesting and original music video. The use of fast shots can benefit us whilst trying to entertain the audiance but will also allow us to express the lyrics through video.
