… Read Full Bio ↴Unsung Lilly formed in a whirlwind of just a few short months in 2012.
Following their first public performance at the prestigious charity event 'London Rocks' at Cafe De Paris, the bands meteoric rise continued with a full set at Guilfest (alongside Jools Holland, Heaven 17 and ABC), culminating with a gig to 25,000 people at Belfast Pride, all in the first 4 months of their careers.
Comprised of two beautifully contrasting lead singers Sera and Frankie, Unsung Lilly’s wonderfully eclectic mix of stylistic influences have lead comparisons as 'a modern day Fleetwood Mac'.
Alongside their fantastic live set, Unsung Lilly released a series of fun & homemade iPhone videos, which were posted on YouTube and gained tens of thousands of hits from across the globe in just a few short weeks. Following this viral success of these online releases, demand for recorded releases grew from their rapid-expanding base of fans from around the world.
The debut EP 'Time Changes Minds' was released in October 2012 (with a re-mastered version taking over in April 2013), and the band's first single 'Happy' was released in Jan 2013 with worldwide radio airplay.
The follow up single 'Just Be' was released in May 2013 to universal acclaim, achieving over 200,000 views on YouTube in just a few weeks. The hotly anticipated debut album was recorded later in 2013, funded by and released exclusively to fans via PledgeMusic, and the band's EP 'Time Changes Minds' available to buy on iTunes for USA fans only. The band also released the beautiful & haunting 3rd single 'I Remember' on 1st Dec, again with world-wide radio play.
In December 2013, the girls travelled stateside to Los Angeles to perform at Hollywood 'Sync Summit', a gathering of industry people from all over the world who specialise in music licensing. At this performance they met the legendary Wayne Vaughn (of Earth, Wind and Fire fame), which lead to in June Unsung Lilly moving over to LA to write and record with him. Mr Vaughn has put together and produced a new and improved live show, with the girls now backed by some of the top musicians in Los Angeles, and will be recording a concoction of new and old tracks to form a new album which will be released in 2015.
Let Yourself Go
Unsung Lilly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rhythm beats in our souls
Now we're rumbling through the earth again
Time to dance in a new world
Wondering how to start again?
There's magic trapped inside our skin
Throw your hands up as it liberates you
I know, you know, they know
Tell me you don't feel it and I won't believe you
See you light up as the rhythm meets you
I know, you know, they know
We have slept through time, sang the same song
Dancing feet were tied
Now we're waking, standing stronger
Stomping down we're inspired
There's magic rushing through our skin
Let yourself go as the music takes you
Throw your hands up as it liberates you
I know, you know, they know
Tell me you don't feel it and I won't believe you
See you light up as the rhythm meets you
I know, you know, they know
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh
Ooh they know
Let yourself go as the music takes you
Ooh yeah
Yeah
Let yourself go as the music takes you
Throw your hands up as it liberates you
I know, you know, they know
Tell me you don't feel it and I won't believe you
See you light up as the rhythm meets you
I know, you know, they know
The lyrics of Unsung Lilly's song Let Yourself Go is a call to let go of insecurities and doubts and just let the music take over. The rhythm beats in our souls, prompting us to dance out in the sun and drum with the rain. We may have slept through time singing the same song, our dancing feet tied, but now we're waking up standing stronger, stomping down we're inspired. It's time to dance again in a new world.
The opening verse urges listeners to start again, despite uncertainties. There's magic trapped inside our skin, waiting to be set free. The second verse talks about our history, how we've sang the same song and danced with our feet tied. But now, we're waking up and standing stronger. There's magic rushing through our skin, prompting us to let go and let the music take over.
The chorus repeats the central message of the song: Let yourself go as the music takes you, throw your hands up as it liberates you. The lyrics acknowledge that everyone feels it when the rhythm meets them - it's an innate instinct to dance and move with the music. The song emphasizes that we can't deny it and should surrender to the rhythm of the music.
The song instills positive vibes with its electric sound and upbeat tempo. The chorus with its repetition of "Let yourself go," and "I know, you know, they know," pushes the notion of self-liberation and self-expression, making the song a perfect anthem for those seeking to let go and lose themselves in the music.
