"Let Go" is a demo by Avant Garde (later known as Zoom).
Overview
"Let Go" was recorded as a 4-track demo around 1988 or 1989, and may have been performed live by Zoom.[1] The song's chorus melody was notably reappropriated several years later for the Weezer song "Holiday."[2] Cuomo sang a few lines from "Let Go" before performing a solo, acoustic rendition of "Holiday" at a Weezer concert in Minneapolis in 2023.
Lyrics
You've seen me looking down before
Each chapter question just brings more
Just look around, you'll see
There's nothing wrong with me
I'll go my own way
And I'll take you
On the edge
Take a chance
Risk it all
Deep inside
Find it all
(Let go)
Here's your chance; it's now or never
(Let go)
Just look deep inside
It looks like rain clouds growing near
Sometimes it seems I'll never win
Just look around, you'll see
There's nothing wrong with me
I'll go my own way
And I'll take you
On the edge
Take a chance
Risk it all
Deep inside
Find it all
(Let go)
Here's your chance; it's now or never
(Let go)
Just look deep inside
(Let go)
Here's your chance; it's now or never
(Let go)
Just look deep inside
On the edge
Take a chance
Risk it all
Deep inside
Find it all
(Let go)
Here's your chance; it's now or never
(Let go)
Just look deep inside
(Let go)
Here's your chance; it's now or never
(Let go)
Ooh, look deep inside
Look deep inside
Look deep inside
