Let it go
A sound clip i recorded on my iPhone this afternoon, Monday June 1. I sing Let it go, from the movie Frozen. Last week i wrote a post about this movie. I’ve been listening to this song Let it go each day and i’ve grown to love it more and more. I also saw some clips of children singing along with it. Wonderful!
I do sing this song a cappella. I don’t play any instruments. It’s hard, especially with the breaks. I do think they are a bit shorter than in the recorded version. I also hear my accent. It’s not too bad though.
I did download the lyrics and i have them in front of me. I’m still in the process of memorizing this song. Some parts i know, other ones are a bit harder. I will say, the lyrics do resonate with me, right now. It does feel very right for me at this moment to sing this song. I did actually choke when i was singing along with Idina Menzel on the original song. This is a song of liberation, of finally going the way you yourself want to go, no matter what other people say. I do feel there is no holding me back anymore.
This is nowhere near a perfect recording! But i do like the closeness of my voice. And I do like the sound of my voice. Yay 🙂
The complete lyrics of ‘Let it go’
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight
Not a footprint to be seen
A kingdom of isolation,
And it looks like I’m the queen.The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside
Couldn’t keep it in, heaven knows I tried!Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know
Well, now they know!Let it go, let it go
Can’t hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door!I don’t care
What they’re going to say
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!It’s funny how some distance
Makes everything seem small
And the fears that once controlled me
Can’t get to me at all!It’s time to see what I can do
To test the limits and break through
No right, no wrong, no rules for me I’m free!Let it go, let it go
I am one with the wind and sky
Let it go, let it go
You’ll never see me cry!Here I stand
And here I’ll stay
Let the storm rage on!My power flurries through the air into the ground
My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around
And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast
I’m never going back,
The past is in the past!Let it go, let it go
And I’ll rise like the break of dawn
Let it go, let it go
That perfect girl is gone!Here I stand
In the light of day
Let the storm rage on,
The cold never bothered me anyway!
