about

Shawn Browning's third single, Let Go, Hold On, is a nod back to 90's noisy, but jangly guitar alternative pop. The song is akin to The Replacements, early Soul Asylum, Superchunk, Matthew Sweet, and Elvis Costello.

LET GO, HOLD ON

I can recall the summer sun beating down upon my face
Laying in the grass feeling like I would die
Time seemed to drag on feeling like the only one
All alone with my thoughts and a butterfly

Somehow time accelerates and the lines appear
Dreams don’t come around much anymore
Some days I struggle to rise; by now supposed to be wise
Wonder if I measured up is my nightly encore

It took a good long dressing down
To wipe the frown from the saddest clown

So let go and hold on
It’s up to you to figure out which one
What gets to stay and what’s gotta go

The straight and narrow seemed to me twisted and curvy
No one to blame, but my own choices
Walking off the lighted path leads to bitterness
And I realize I followed the wrong voices
