Bryan Adams was already popular in Canada when the release of his third album 'Cuts Like A Knife' in 1983 brought him a large following in the USA. His fourth album, 'Reckless', often referred to as one of the most significant of the 1980s, sold over 4 million copies at the time and continues to sell now. His fifth album 'Into the Fire' went platinum.
'Waking Up The Neighbours', his sixth album in 1991, powered him to international stardom. The single '(Everything I Do) I Do For You' spent 16 weeks at number 1; it broke a UK record that had stood since 1955 and still stands today. Across in the USA it became the second largest selling single to 'We Are The World'. The song was featured in the film 'Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves' (1991) and for this Mr Adams received his first Academy Award nomination. He was also nominated for a Golden Globe.
42 film Directors' have used Adams' music as soundtrack - from A Night In Heaven (1983) to Bobby (2007).
Adams was awarded the C.M. (Member of the Order of Canada) on April 20th 1998 and the C.O. (Officer of the Order of Canada) on May 6th 1988 for his contribution to popular music and his philanthropic work. He was also inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 1998, and more recently inducted into the Music Hall of Fame at Canada's Juno Awards (the Canadian equivalent of the Grammys) in April 2006. Notably, Adams refuses to attend the awards; as his manager, Bruce Allen explains: "they turned their back on the biggest thing to come out of Canada"--in reference to the hit '(Everything I Do) I Do For You'.
Adams has been nominated for three Academy Awards for songwriting, and was recently nominated for his fifth Golden Globe (2007) for his songwriting in the film 'Bobby'.

Don't Let Go
Bryan Adams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's so incredible that we're alone
There's so much to be said and done
It's impossible not to be overcome
Will you forgive me if I feel this way
Cuz we've just met - tell me that's OK
So take this feeling'n make it grow
Never let it - never let it go
(Don't let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
(Don't let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(Don't let go)
No, I won't let go
Now would you mind if I bared my soul
If I came right out and said you're beautiful
Cuz there's something here I can't explain
I feel I'm diving into driving rain
You get my senses running wild
I can 't resist your sweet, sweet smile
So take this feeling 'n make it grow
Never let it - never let it go
(Don't let go of the things you believe in)
You give me something that I can believe in
(Don't let go of this moment in time)
Go of this moment in time
(Don't let go of things that you're feeling)
I can't explain the things that I'm feeling
(Don't let go)
No, I won't let go
I've been waiting all my life
To make this moment feel so right
The feel of you just fills the night
So c'mon -just hold on tight
In Bryan Adams's song Don't Let Go, the singer expresses their disbelief that they are alone with the person they are addressing. They feel that there is so much that needs to be said and done between them, and they cannot help but be overwhelmed by their emotions. The singer then asks for forgiveness for their feelings because they have just met, but they cannot help the way they feel. They want to take the feeling they have and let it grow between them, never letting it go. The chorus repeats the phrase "Don't let go" multiple times, emphasizing the importance of holding onto the things you believe in, the moments in time, and the feelings that you are experiencing.
The song is a powerful love ballad that expresses the feeling of falling deeply in love with someone at first sight. The singer cannot explain the feelings they are experiencing, but they know that they want to hold onto them and cherish them forever. The song encourages people to hold onto the things that they believe in and to never let go of the moments that make life special.

I have been longing and waiting for this for my entire existence
To make this moment feel so right
To create a sense of correctness and satisfaction in this specific moment
The feel of you just fills the night
Your presence fills the night with a certain sensation
So c'mon -just hold on tight
So please hold on tightly to me

NĂŁo Deixe Ir (Com Bryan Adams)
NĂŁo acredito que esse momento chegou
Ă© tĂŁo incrivel que estejamos sozinhos

Ă impossivel nĂŁo ser dominado
VocĂȘ me perdoa por me sentir assim
POis acabamos de nos conhecer - me diga que tudo bem
Então pegue esse sentimento, faça-o crescer
Nunca deixe - Nunca deixe-o ir
NĂŁo deixe de ir a coisas que vocĂȘ acredita em)
VocĂȘ me dĂĄ algo que eu possa acreditar em

Eu nĂŁo posso explicar as coisas que eu estou sentindo
(NĂŁo, nĂŁo deixe ir)

Agora vocĂȘ se importaria se eu despisse minha alma
Se eu avançasse dizendo que vocĂȘ Ă© linda
Pois hĂĄ algo aqui que nĂŁo consigo explicar
Sinto-me mergulhando na tempestade
VocĂȘ obtĂ©m os meus sentidos correndo wilde
Eu nĂŁo posso resistir a seu sorriso doce, doce
Portanto, tome este "sentimento n fazĂȘ-lo crescer
Nunca deixe-o - nunca deixĂĄ-lo ir
(nĂŁo abandone as coisas em que vocĂȘ acredita)
VocĂȘ me da algo em que acreditar
(NĂŁo abandone esse momento com o tempo)
(NĂŁo abandone as coisas que vocĂȘ estĂĄ sentindo)
Eu nĂŁo consigo explicar as coisas que estou sentindo
(NĂŁo abandone)
NĂŁo, eu nĂŁo abandonarei
NĂŁo, eu nĂŁo vou desistir
Eu tenho esperado toda a minha vida
Para fazer com que este momento me sinto tĂŁo bem
A sensação de que vocĂȘ apenas preenche a noite
EntĂŁo vamos lĂĄ - Apenas segure firme
(NĂŁo deixe de ir a coisas que vocĂȘ acredita em)
VocĂȘ me dĂĄ algo que eu possa acreditar em
(NĂŁo, NĂŁo deixar de ir neste momento)

This excellent song is from the soundtrack to the 2002 movie Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron. It's too bad a video wasn't made for it, I would have loved to see Bryan and Sarah singing and playing their instruments together. I don't know if they were even in the same studio when they recorded this, they can do songs so singers don't have to be. This is still one of my favorite man/woman songs ever!
