Let It Flow
Washington Grover Jr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She'll never know how she blows my mind
She's there with the chemicals in my brain
Spinning softly round my head
I'm gonna give in, I'll never change my mind
I feel it now tonight is the night
And why should I try to resist
When it's calling out to me
She's blowing my mind
She's always blowing my mind
The autumn and the winter
Have been and gone
Half the time I never knew what was wrong
I never noticed I was feeling down
It just went day by day
She'll never know how she turned it round
She'll never know how she blows my mind
It was a long time coming to me
I'm gonna outshine every star
She's gonna bring me through
She's blowing my mind
She's always blowing my mind
I won't be able to help myself
Falling in love with her
I have all the time in the world
The answer was always there
Why should I try to resist
When it's calling out to me
She can take my heart, I'll pay the price
She's the sweetest thing I've ever known
Here she comes walking across the sand
She'll never know how she blows my mind
She's there with the chemicals in my brain
Spinning softly round my head
I'm gonna give in, I'll never change my mind
I feel it now tonight is the night
And why should I try to resist
When it's calling out to me
Calling out to me
She's blowing my mind
She's always blowing my mind
In Washington Grover Jr's song Let It Flow, the singer is describing his infatuation with a woman he sees walking across the sand. He is entranced by her and describes her as having chemicals in his brain, spinning softly around his head. He knows that tonight is the night he will give in to his feelings and fall for her, even though he tries to resist. He acknowledges that she has turned his life around and that he will never be able to resist her.
The second verse describes the singer's state of mind before he met the woman. He had been feeling down for a long time without realizing it, but she turned it all around for him. He knows that he will fall in love with her and that she is the sweetest thing he has ever known. The chorus repeats that she is always blowing his mind, and he cannot resist her.
The lyrics of the song describe the emotions and feelings of infatuation and attraction. The singer is helpless to resist the woman and knows that he will fall in love with her. The use of the phrase "chemicals in my brain" suggests a scientific explanation for the feelings of love and attraction, emphasizing the power that love can have over people.

Grover Washington was prolific. He came up with some of the greatest, catchiest melodies in contemporary Jazz. One of my all-time favorite musicians.
@mrbrum1mrbrum175
That bass line is awesome. Love this song. Great music.

Marcus Miller on bass.

Genius never dies, Grover truly was and his music lives on.
@3rdandlong
I can't say it any better than most of you. Grover was one of the first smooth jazz artists I heard on Jazz Trax about 1985. Yes, he may have left us, but not his music. We are all blessed to live and enjoy it.
@williamgause4029
I agree Genius never dies and neither does Timeless Classic music such as from Grover Washington Jr.
Rest in heavenly peace
@ronaldspikes5370
