Let go...

Sometimes I feel depressed like I could jump the nearest cliff.
I have found a song that helps me feel that it’s ok to have a good cry now and then.

Frou Frou – Let go (Garden State)
Drink up baby down.
Mmm, are you in or are you out?
Leave your things behind,
'Cuz it's all going off without you.
'Scuze me, too busy,
You're writing your tragedy.
These mishaps, your bubble wrap, when,
You've no idea what you're like...

(So let go) So let go
Mmm, jump in Oh well whatcha waiting for?
It's alright, 'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.
(So let go) Yeah,
let go Just get in Oh it's so amazing here.
It's alright, 'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.

It gains the more it gives,
And then it rises with the fall.
So hand me that remote.
Can't you see that all that stuff's a sideshow?
Such boundless, pleasure,
We've no time for later now, you,
Can't await, your own arrival you've,
Twenty seconds to comply.

(So let go) So let go
Jump in Oh well whatcha waiting for?
It's alright, 'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.
(So let go) Yeah let go Just get in
Oh, it's so amazing here.
It's alright,'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.
So let go Mmm, jump in Oh well whatcha waiting for?
It's alright, 'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.
(So let go) Yeah let go Just get in Oh it's so amazing here.
It's alright, 'Cuz there's beauty In the breakdown.
In the breakdown....
'Cuz there's beauty in the breakdown.
The breakdown.... So amazing here....
'Cuz there's beauty in the breakdown

This is also the lyrics to a song that plays in my favourite movie “Garden State”

Sort Summary about the movie:
Andrew Largeman shuffled through life in a lithium-induced coma until his
mother's death inspired a vacation from the pills to see what might happen. A moderately successful TV actor living in Los Angeles, "Large" hasn't been home to the Garden State in nine years. But even with 3,000 miles between them, he's been unable to escape his domineering father Gideon and the silencing effect he's had on his son from afar. Stunned to find himself in his hometown after such a long absence, Large finds old acquaintances around every corner living quite unique lives as gravediggers, fast food knights and the panderers of pyramid schemes. Meanwhile, at home, he does his best to avoid a long-simmering but inevitable confrontation with his father. By a twist of fate, Large meets Sam, a girl who is everything he isn't. A blast of color, hope and quirks, Sam becomes a sidekick who refuses to ride in his sidecar. Her warmth and fearlessness give Large the courage to open his heart to the joy and pain of the infinite abyss that is life.

This movie can be an eye opener to many people, facing their past demons and learning to be free to express our feelings. We all have skeletons in the closet that we need to face, and Andrew did it well in Garden State.
