Forming in 2009, the band quickly went to work writing and performing in local venues, gaining critical and popular praise for their memorable melodies and unguarded lyrics.
Fronted by guitarist, songwriter, and lead vocalist Drew Brown, the songs of Let It Happen give voice to a generation on the bridge. “Regardless of age, life is complicated, and our generation is coming of age in a complicated time. Our music speaks to that.” says drummer Sean Highley. Still, the music of Let It Happen is dynamic and fully energized. Powered by Michael Vogel’s edgy lead guitar and Nathan Joiner’s driving bass, the music dances, even when wrestling with tough topics. As Drew Brown says, “We don’t preach. We want our audience to know we’re right there with them, and going through the same things. It’s important to us that we convey that when we play live.”
The band will certainly be in full force for the foreseeable future. On the heels of their last EP, Pack the Van!, Let It Happen has just recorded an acoustic EP, Colors Changing, and have an early summer release in the works as well. The band has a few tours in the works for this summer in support of these releases so be on the lookout!
What does the future hold now that they’ve packed the van and changed colors? Nothing left to do but Let It Happen!
Over My Head
Let It Happen Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I'll beat this door down and tell you what I think.
I'll bring the wishes, you bring the well.
You're trying to fill voids when you're so empty yourself.
I will make you spill your guts and tell me I was never good enough.
Get your head out of the clouds. What goes around, comes around.
Now I'll beat this door down and tell you what I think,
about the way you cannot live without holding this over my head.
Always the starving, never the fed.
You're dying for attention you'll take what you can get.
I would let you off the hook if you could give me back the years you took.
Get your head out of the clouds. What goes around, comes around.
Everything you ever thought you meant isn't making any sense anymore.
Everything you ever said you meant isn't making sense anymore.
The lyrics to Let It Happen's song Over My Head lyrics are a reflection of a person who seems to have found happiness, only to have it taken away again. When they found the key to happiness, the person they loved changed the locks and refused to let them in. The singer of the song is obviously frustrated and, as a result, decides to confront their lover head-on. With a sense of frustration and anger, they declare that they will "beat this door down" and tell their partner what they think.
The song then goes on to describe how the relationship feels very one-sided. The singer suggests that they are offering a lot - "I'll bring the wishes" - but their partner is not reciprocating. Instead, the partner is "trying to fill voids when you're so empty yourself" and "dying for attention you'll take what you can get". The singer appears to be fed up with this dynamic and demands that their partner "get your head out of the clouds" before repeating the idea that "what goes around, comes around".
Overall, the lyrics to Over My Head by Let It Happen express a sense of frustration and exhaustion with a relationship that seems to have become very unequal over time. The singer has tried to find happiness, but their partner keeps taking it away from them. As a result, they are on the verge of giving up and walking away.
