MOJO - Song of the Day - Let Yourself Go

[Refugee 7]

Since I think most of us have a copy of MOJO by now, let's discuss the songs.

Let's start today off with Let Yourself Go - your thoughts?

Let Yourself Go

Composer Tom Petty

Rain on the river I’m soakin’ wet

Waitin’ on friend who ain’t come yet

And he might not get here for three or four days

Got to make a little bit go a long way

I’ve got a blond headed woman who likes to come around

Cute little hippy girl lives in town

Brings a bag a records and she plays ‘em ‘til dawn

Give me little lovin’ then she got to go home

When times are hard

When you start feelin’ low

Let yourself go

When the river’s risin’ and the world feels cold

Let yourself go

Let yourself go

I got a 442 sittin’ in the sun

Well it’s been ten years since she used to run

Man she was a beauty in ‘69

But there ain’t no more comin’ down the line

When times are hard

And you start feelin’ low

Let yourself go

When the river’s risin’ and your world feels cold

Let yourself go

Honey let yourself go

As I said before, this one doesn't do very much for me. It's a nice little swinger with very cool lyrics, but musically it doesn't knock me off my feet. I consider it as a filler, something to lead the listener out of the swampy blues section into another part of the album.

Kinda like "When a kid goes bad" (I can do without that one, too) on The Last DJ - it closes the music business theme and opens for something different.

The verses of "Let Yourself Go" always remind me of "Radar Love" by Golden Earring. Maybe that's why I don't like it that much - I've heard the latter way too often...

I just started to really get into this one. Not that I didn't like it when I first heard it, but I admit was busy hitting repeat on others and hadn't given this a chance. Right now, it's at the top pf my favorites.

I like this jaunty little song. It does let some air in after the blues numbers

ehh. depends on my mood as to whether I listen to this song or skip it.

I love the way this one makes me feel. I picks me up and reminds me to just let yourself go when things are hard!

[Marion 1,411]

This song is so light-hearted and pleasant to me. I love this one and the I like the lyrics.

Cute.

I really like this song! It just moves and I move along with it. Makes me smile and the music is just fantastic. :heart:

[Amber 70]

Not my favorite on this album. It's not bad...just not up there with some of the heavy hitters. A little too laid back for me.

[Yer so bad 4]

I like to dance while I´m listening this song!

I love the tune and the "cute little hippy girl" image.

Same here.
