Grace Slick - "Let it go":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwnMYZS1hSc

"Alongside her close contemporary Janis Joplin, Slick was an important figure in the development of rock music in the late 1960s and was one of the first female rock stars. Her distinctive vocal style and striking stage presence exerted a definite influence on other female performers, including Stevie Nicks, Patti Smith, Sandy Denny and Dolores O'Riordan, Like Joplin, Slick's uncompromising persona and powerful voice helped to open up new modes of expression for female performers, giving a new legitimacy to the role of the female lead singer in the male-dominated world of rock music."

"Some people say "Don't go away just stay right here"
Some say "If you stay at home you're gonna wind up alone"
Now you know you can't go two different
ways you can't believe everything you hear
And if you always do just what you're told
hen you've got no mind of your own

So if each man has a different plan let 'em go let 'em go
You have a power all your own
There's a spirit child inside you ready for life and I know
It's just waiting to see how you will grow
And when the spirit feels the need to wander let it go
Sometimes they say the only way is to really sing that song
Sometimes they say you're singing that way too loud too long
And if they can't make up their minds then I think I'll make up mine
Whatever way I feel is the only way I'm gonna sing that song
And if people don't seem to like it that's O.K. let 'em go
Some day they'll sing a song of their own
'Cause there's a spirit child inside them ready for life and I know
It's just waiting to see how they will grow

And when their spirit feels a need to wander I'm sure they'll go

Some people said "Try this,it'll make your smile"
Some said "Don't touch it, you end up crying"
Well it felt so good for a while but then I saw too many dying
When all they wanted to do was get a little higher
So if the game won't follow through let it go let it go
And leave the loaded dice alone
'Cause there's a spirit child inside them ready for life and I know
It's just waiting to see how they will grow

One too many-users lose it all
Then there's no one-no one to help then break the fall
People just like you who say "Oh no that won't be me"
End up face down-is that where you wanted to be

So if it's going to bring you trouble let it go let it go
Remember that doesn't mean you'll be all alone
'Cause there's a spirit child inside them ready for life and I know

It's just waiting to see how you will grow "

Lives well lived.

Beautiful.
