With the release of Rumour, Lunik started as a trip-hop group and evolved (some say de-volved) to a more melodic pop outfit in the early 2000s.
Jaël became known in wider audiences after her appearance on Delerium's single "After All", taken from their 2003 album "Chimera" as well as Mich Gerber's single Your Remain in 2004.
In 2013, it was announced that the band would split up after releasing the album Encore, featuring some unreleased tracks and live versions. Jaël stated in an interview that the reason of the split was that "everything had been said (what the members wanted to express together)" and the band members "didn't have fun anymore" playing together.
Let Go
Lunik Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you asked me to return
It took a while to see that you're the one for me, it took too long
'Cause you were gone
Every minute every hour I long for your touch
I know now it's true - I just wanted too much
I try to move on, try to enjoy being free
But a love that big can't be forgotten easily
And now I know I can't replace you
But I try to let go
You're happy now, it seems to be easier with her
First I was hurt, now I'm sorry
Sorry that I couldn't give you the best of me
I wasn't good enough to make you happy
I'm tempted to fight but I wouldn't be fair
No it wouldn't be right now that you've found your place
It's hard to accept 'cause I know deep inside
A love that big shouldn't be left behind
But after all that was - I still love you
And all I want is the best for you
Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be me
Gotta let you go, gotta let you go, gotta let you go, gotta let you go
let go, gotta let you go, gotta let you go, gotta let you go
Sometimes I dream that one day you will tell me
You want to give us another try
And make them real - all the dreams and plans we had
A family with you by my side
But after all it's just a dream
Dadadada... gotta let you go, gotta let you go, gotta let you go
Let go, gotta let you go, gotta let you go, gotta let you go
Let go, oh I gotta let you go, I gotta let you go, I gotta let you go
Gotta let you go, gotta let you go, gotta let you go
My eyes were closed when I ran away from your love
And you asked me to return
The lyrics of "Let Go" by Lunik convey the pain and heartbreak of a failed relationship. The opening lines of the song reveal that the singer ran away from their lover with their eyes closed, suggesting that they were not ready to confront the truth of the situation. Despite the lover's request for the singer to return, they take a long time to realize that their lover was the one for them. The singer longs for their lover's touch every minute and every hour, but recognizes that they cannot replace them.
The second verse reveals that the lover has moved on with someone else, and the singer is sorry that they could not give their lover the best of themselves. The singer acknowledges that it would not be fair to fight for their lover now that they have found happiness with someone else. However, the singer still loves their lover and wishes for the best for them.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "gotta let you go" several times, emphasizing the difficulty in moving on from a love that was once so all-encompassing. The singer recognizes that they must let go, but also acknowledges the pain that comes with doing so.
Overall, "Let Go" is a poignant and bittersweet song about the pain of lost love and the difficulty in moving on.
