The story behind the song
Returning to the wonderful guitar tuning used on Stumbling Mantras that Joe Breskin showed me, this seems like a fitting closing number. It's about coaxing a lover to relax, let go, and 'have some fun'. Around my 50th birthday, I decided to adopt this motto: If it's not (1) really fun, (2) really rewarding or (3) absolutely necessary, I ain't doing it no more! This has served me well and has led to far more joy in my life.

The LyricsWon't you let your hair down Let yourself go really free Pick a sweet red raspberry for me Such a simple thing Unlocks your beauty sevenfold Won't you let your hair down Just be bold Build a quiet freeway To the essence of my soul Won't you let your hair down Wheels will roll Float a lacey river Where the weeping willows flow Won't you let your hair down Let me row Join a mystic circus Riding bareback through the ring Won't you let your hair down You can sing Set my loins on fire Underneath your velvet spread Won't you let your hair down In my bed Spin your web around me While the world goes whistling past Won't you let your hair down Hold me fast Spurt your joyous laughter Spread your wings to meet the sun Won't you let your hair down Have some fun! |
