about

Remastered here from the original 1995 studio tracks, the original recording of "Let Her Go" appeared only on the compilation CD "Popscape," and was first released in this version to streaming services in 2021. The song was a live favorite in the early to mid-90s, and was considered at the time to be our next obvious single. Due to timing, finances, and label struggles, it was never given a fully marketed release.

lyrics

Two thousand miles across cities and deserts
You followed that girl until you ran out of gas
You needed money so you called me from Frisco and I
Wired you the last two hundred dollars that I had
Let her go ... Let her go...

Sometimes a woman is a kind of religion she can
Save your soul and set you free from all your sins
Sometimes a woman is a heroin addiction and
You are a junkie, you are my best friend
Let her go ... Let her go....

Two years ago in Greenwich Village we both met her
It was whamma-blamma rock and roll, never mind the mess
But two years down the line the signal’s got distorted
Now the dog has left the laboratory clinging to her dress
Clinging to her dress, clinging to her dress
Let her go
Let her go
Let her go
Let her go

The Bad Examples Chicago, Illinois

The Bad Examples burst on the Chicago rock scene in the early 90s, and extensive touring around America as well as hits in Europe established them as fan favorites and critical darlings. Their musically rich and lyrically resonant albums were at odds with the aesthetic of grunge, the industry "flavor of the day," and so mainstream success eluded them, but the band has remained true to their sound. ... more
