I've struggled with different versions of this song, made one with full orchestration, I think simpler is better. The strings in the memo did not make it through the mix, replaced with a single cello and some pizzicatos. https://soundcloud.com/willrockwell/dont-let-go-3DON'T LET GO CGCEm FAmDmG CGAm FGC CAm I have loved you in the rain EmAm through the sunshine and the pain EmAm Morning leaves colored gold FG As the summer grows old CAm So we wandered through the park EmAm and stayed till after dark EmAm Painted leaves beneath your head FG as the sunset turned red CAm I remember in the moonlight FG Watching clouds scatter by CEm and reflections on the water AmG caught the light from your eyes, and you said C GC Em Don't let go FAmDmG Hold me close and do it slow CGAm Don't let go FG See the water flow CAm Life moves sudden, takes possessions FG and nothing seems to last CEm Just to hold you till forever AmG Is all, all I ask C GC Em Don't let go FAmDmG Hang on and watch it grow CGAm DonYt let go FG Believe in what you know CGF don't let go CGF Don't let go CGF Don't let go CGF Don't let go ****** Song Summary ************* Title: Don't Let Go File:Don't Let Go3.SGU Key=C , Tempo 100, Length (m:s)=5:36 No intro. 137 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 137.

Nicely done Will!! A little more of a ballad than your usual style. I think the arrangement works very well. Nice job! Take care. Greg

Really like this one Will. Excellent vocal and lyric Thank you. I'm developing confidence in my vocals, though I had to do quite a few before I was happy with it. I don't like to comp the vocals, I feel you can get in the groove and deliver a passable vocal if you are in tune with the song. Speaking of which, I am trying not to use the autotune, it always seems to introduce garbage.

I think it was on the Circle album that Roy Acuff said that you loose a little something each time you repeat a take. I think your vocals are just fine as is the entire production. Like Greg said a ballad from you is a bit of a departure. We enjoyed the spin! J&B

Will, you have created a beautiful mix of sounds here. Really liked the cello coming in! It makes the song. Take care, Torrey
