Musical Inspiration: Let Me Down Gently

And so she returns. I have spent the last 5 years listening to La Roux’s previous album on repeat. Loving it. Cherishing it. And praying that she soon return with new music to grace us with. July 7th the new album arrives and I can’t wait. There’s no one quite like La Roux. Her voice really fills you with a special feeling and she conveys so well the emotional tone of her songs. Such a joy to listen to especially this new melodic number.

 

Let me down gently,
That’s what I think I need!
But when you let me down gently,
It still feels it hard, hard!
Turn me into someone good,
That’s what I really need!
Tel me that I’m someone good
So we’re not so far apart, apart
I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m young, foolish and green
Let me in for a minute,
You’re not my life but I want you in it!
Aha, aha, aha, ahaSet me up I’m slowly, that’s what you do to me
Oh you set me up slowly
Now I can’t come down, down!
Let me down gently,
That’s what I think you need.
But when I let you down gently
And you try to hide your frowns, frowns!
I hope it doesn’t seem like I’m young, foolish and green
Let me in for a minute
You’re not my life but I want you in it.
And I hope it’s sinking
Left behind your perfect skin
There’s a part of you that’s free
And I know that there’s a place for me!Let me down gently,
That’s what I think I need!
But when you let me down gently,
It still feels it hard, hard!
Turn me into someone good,
That’s what I really need!
Tel me that I’m someone good
So we’re not so far apart, apart
(Let me down, let me down, let me down)

And I hope it doesn’t seem
Like I’m young and foolish and green
Let me in for a minute
You’re not my life, but I want you in it!
And I hope it’s sinking in
Left behind your perfect skin
There’s a part of you that’s free
And I know there’s a place for me.
