Eighteen Visions - I let go
From the album "Obsession"
Dropped B Tuning [B - F# - B - E - G# - C#]
[low ----------------high]
If you're not sure how to achieve dropped B tuning:
Start with standard (EADGBe) tuning
- Find the 10th fret on the low E string
- Play the 10th fret & string above it (open). Tune the low E string untill
the 10th fret is the same note as the open string above it. The E
is now a B, when the string is played open
- Now move to the 7th fret on the now low B string, and play it. play the
string above it
open and tune until it is the same note as the 7th fret on the B string
- From here, tune the next four strings as you would with standard tuning
(i.e. 5th fret, open string above etc)

| This song rocks it was actually the song that got me listing to eighteen visions in the first place i think if i had never heard this song on kerrang i wouldn't even know about the band and no one in my class had ever heard of them eithier ,they are all inot crappy shit bands like mcfly,noise next door,ciara,50 cent ,and basically music that eithier has no meaning or is about girls .ect mcfly and noise next door i myself don't really like pop and would reahter listen to kerrang or scuzz than mtv and smash hits.I think this song is about some is sa dor miserable and then he just lets go of all his feeling and he feels better .Also James had got an awsome voice this may not be some peoples cup of tea and they are not really well heard of where i live but the kick ass all the same. | |

| i think this song is basically about living a life of self-destruction. "i dont know why i want tostop myself from feeling low" IMHO thats basically just not caring about what happens. for a long time thats how my life has been, a twisted warpath of self destruction. my regrets piling up until i just dont care how much it hurts anymore. 1 | |

| I agree with the meaning. I personally don't really enjoy their other songs, I'm just in love with this one song. As awesome as this song is, it puts me in a sad mood. A REALLY sad mood. | |

| I've only heard this song/seen this video once. And I eagerly await the day I can hear/see it again. I love the chorus. It seems to be about hopelessness, like nothings going to work...so you just give up. | |

| Song pretty much describes what I've finally done. After all the thinking and the constant reminders of the past. It was time to let go and move on with life rather than dwelling on it for the next twenty years. | |

| i love the bit on the video where he starts smiling too! "I can't be that way when my life looks this grey so I let go. I've got to leave it alone this time or I'll wallow in my mind" I think its about just letting go, when things get to you, just let go and forget about them, don't let them 'wallow' in your mind, dont bother about them! | |
