In 2001, Josh and Dave joined forces under the now legendary Gabriel & Dresden moniker. Within their 6 years of collaboration, Gabriel & Dresden scored 19 number 1 Billboard Hot Dance/Club Play remixes and tracks, made three DJ-mixed compilation albums, an artist album and won seven International Dance Music Awards. Their tracks 'Arcadia', 'Dangerous Power', 'Let Go', 'Tracking Treasure Down' Andain "Beautiful Things" and numerous other masterpieces have turned into some of EDM’s biggest classics. 'As The Rush Comes', by their Motorcycle alias with Jes Brieden, they won the IDMA award for 'Best Progressive Trance Track' as well as peaking at #11 on the official UK top40 charts. The G&D treatment, through remixes and interpretations, was given to tracks by The Killers, Annie Lenox, Sarah McLachlan, Dido, Tiësto, Paul Oakenfold and Way Out West, making their sound cross borders from trance and progressive with pop, indie and soul sensibilities.
In 2008 After 6+ years of hits and and awards, both guys felt it was time for something new and took a break from Gabriel & Dresden to focus on their individual careers. Inspiration came flowing with the new tide. After the split, Josh Gabriel set up his own label, 'Different Pieces' and focused on his Winter Kills and Andain projects. On his album 'Eight', Josh intertwined techno and house into pieces of pure electronic bliss. In the meantime, Dave Dresden took charge of the dancefloor with his Dresden & Johnston project and spawned a US radio hit in the song 'Keep Faith' and "That Day" (with Nadia Ali on lead vocals), as well as remixes for the likes of Owl City, Nadia Ali, BT and The Crystal Method. But you simply can't stop musical synergy.
As 2010 came to an end, Gabriel and Dresden decided to go back to their roots and reunite at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles for New Year’s Eve 2011. Their return behind the decks showed that after two and a half years apart, nothing really changed. Gabriel & Dresden's comeback marks one of the most notable moments in EDM this year, finally answering the call of millions of dance lovers. With gigs at some of the world's biggest festivals, clubs and events planned and a new compilation in the making, Gabriel & Dresden are all set to do what they love most: celebrate music. And we're all invited.
Let Go
Gabriel & Dresden Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I know this means nothing much to me
And I hear the voices ring in my head
And they keep telling, telling me to let go,
Let go
Telling me to let go
Let go
It would be better that way
Let it go, let it go
It could be better that way
Let it go, let it go
It's just better that way
Let it go, let it go
It could be better that way
Let it go, let it go
It's just better that way
And I hear the voices ring in my head
And they keep telling
Telling me to let go, to let go,
Telling me to let go, to let go,
Telling me to let go, to let go,
Telling me to let go, to let go,
Aah a ah, let it go,
Aah a ah, let it go,
Aah a ah, let it go,
Aah a ah, let it go,
'Cause it could be better that way
Let it go, Let it go
"It could be better that way"
Let it Go, Let it go
"It's just better that way"
Let it Go, Let it go
"It could be better that way"
Let it Go, Let it go
'Cause it could be better that way
Let it Go, Let it go
It could be better that way
Let it Go, Let it go
It's just better that way
Let it Go, Let it go
It could be better that way
Let it Go, Let it go
It's just better that way
The lyrics of Gabriel & Dresden feat. Molly Bancroft's song "Let Go" touch upon a sense of detachment from reality. The opening line "I swear I don't know what time it is" sets the tone for the rest of the song, as if the singer is lost in a fog, unable to grasp what's occuring around her, which leaves her feeling that "this means nothing much to me." The voices in her head, possibly her inner thoughts or alter-ego, are telling her to "let go" repeatedly. One could interpret that the singer is dealing with anxiety, stress, or a sense of being lost, and the only way to feel better is to release those negative emotions and move on from the past or present.
The chorus repeats the message of letting go, giving the listener a sense of hope and ease, that it's better to let go and move on than to dwell in negative emotions. The usage of the phrase, "It could be better that way," suggests that the singer and the voices she hears are aware that holding on to negative thoughts or feelings won't change the past or the present, and it's better to move into a new direction.
Overall, the song's lyrics offer a sense of release, a recognition that sometimes it's better to let go and move on and a hope of starting anew.
