Kygo started to learn to play the piano at age six through lessons. He decided to have a go at remixes and creating electronic music after discovering Avicii at age 15-16. After receiving over 80 million hits on YouTube and Soundcloud, Kygo was contacted by both Avicii and Chris Martin of Coldplay to create official remixes of one the artists' songs.
His remix of "I See Fire" entered Romania's Top 40 and remained there for 14 weeks, peaking at Number 2 as of June 3rd, 2014.
When creating/remixing music Kygo uses Logic Studio.
His track "It Ain't Me," with Selena Gomez, has exceeded 1 billion plays on Spotify.
He has an official site at https://www.kygomusic.com/ but at this moment it is about 5 years out of date. (In 2020 it refers to his "hotly anticipated album scheduled for 2015.")
Let Her Go
Kygo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Hoping one day you'll make a dream last
But dreams come slow and they go so fast
You see her when you close your eyes
Maybe one day you'll understand why
Everything you touch surely dies
But you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
Staring at the ceiling in the dark
Same old empty feeling in your heart
'Cause love comes slow and it goes so fast
Well you see her when you fall asleep
But never to touch and never to keep
'Cause you loved her too much and you dive too deep
Well you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
Oh oh oh no
And you let her go
Oh oh oh no
Well you let her go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
'Cause you only need the light when it's burning low
Only miss the sun when it starts to snow
Only know you love her when you let her go
Only know you've been high when you're feeling low
Only hate the road when you're missing home
Only know you love her when you let her go
And you let her go
The song Let Her Go by Kygo is a reflective and emotional piece that touches on themes of love, loss, and regret. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and understanding that only comes with hindsight. The first part of the lyrics focus on the concept of appreciation and how we tend to take things for granted until we no longer have them. We only notice the light when it is about to go out, and we only miss the warmth of the sun when it is cold out. We only realize how much we love someone when we lose them, and we only realize how high we were when we are feeling low.
The next part of the lyrics talks about the dream of finding love and how it can be fleeting. Dreams come slow and go fast, leaving us with the same empty feeling even after we have achieved them. The line "Everything you touch surely dies" suggests that no matter how hard we try, all of our relationships will experience ups and downs, and it is only through letting go that we can find peace.
The final verses further expand on the themes of regret and lost love. The lines "You see her when you fall asleep, but never to touch and never to keep" suggest that the love we have lost can never be fully regained. We loved too much and dove too deep, only to lose everything in the end. The song ends with a repetition of the first verse, emphasizing the importance of appreciation and the need to let go of things that we have lost.
