Hecht’s music represents a return to the early 70s golden era of acoustic pop where thoughtful, well-crafted lyrics were blended with timeless melodies to impact mainstream music and culture. His debut album Late Last Night, produced by Lex Price (Mindy Smith) and mixed by Roger Moutenot (Yo La Tengo, Josh Rouse), was released in May of 2008 and features an impressive list of guest performers including Mindy Smith, Jeff Coffin, Thad Cockrell, Jill Andrews of The Everybodyfields, John Deaderick (Patty Griffin), Andrea Zonn (James Taylor) and more.

Raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, Robby first began writing and performing while attending The University of Wisconsin-Madison, developing and pairing his soulful voice and unique finger-style guitar. After spending time living in Paris and San Francisco, and a period fronting the band AllDay Radio, he eventually returned to his home state, settling in Nashville.

A 2008 Kerrville New Folk Winner, Robby has played folk/roots festivals and venues across the country, sharing the stage with such legendary artists as Richie Havens, Greg Brown, and Patty Griffin, and garnering comparisons to early James Taylor, Paul Simon, and Amos Lee. Like these celebrated artists, Robby Hecht is a unique voice -- one that is stirring, instantly recognizable and truly original.

Never Let Go
Robby Hecht Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The last few hours of the day
Feel my words wash away
Oh darling, I a'int sad at all

I hold you my grateful arms
God Lord holding up the stars
Oh darling, I a'int sad at all

Never let go my darling
My darling I'll be true
Never let go my darling
My darling I love you

Lived alone for many years
Muddled up my shared tears
Oh darling, I a'int sad at all
Because you were waiting to be mine
Just over there in the rising line
Oh darling, I a'int sad at all

Never let go my darling
My darling I'll be true
Never let go my darling
My darling I'm in love with you

Another day is finally done
You are still my only one
Oh darling, I a'int sad at all
That's the way it's gonna be
As long as you're in love with me
Oh darling, I a'int sad at all

Never let go my darling
My darling, my darling I'll be true
Never let go my darling

My darling I'm in love with you
My darling I'm in love with you

The last few hours of the day
As the day comes to an end

Feel my words wash away
The weight of the day disappears when I'm with you

Oh darling, I a'int sad at all
Being with you makes me happy

I'm grateful to have you and hold you tight

God Lord holding up the stars
Even the mightiest God can't compare to the strength of our love

I was alone for a long time

I cried alone and in confusion for so long

Because you were waiting to be mine
But you were always there, waiting for the right moment

Just over there in the rising line
I just had to wait a bit longer to find you
