lyrics

The day after Christmas I’m headed down south on a plane
All alone in my seat and I’m watching the cold morning rain
Hazel said, “Come to the island to settle your heart”
She said, “Peace will not come in a day but you may as well start”

After all, there’s one thing I know
That you got to be strong to let go
Let go

For a year I was living in fear, I was out of my mind
‘Cause I’d gather up my resolution and lose it each time
Night after night he is asking me, what can I say
Yeah it kills me, it’s breaking my heart, but there’s no other way

After all, there’s one thing I know
That you got to be strong to let go
Let go

Let go and don’t be afraid
It’s never too late
I got to be brave
And believe that our story’s not done
That the answers will come
Though for now there are none

I told her I couldn’t believe it was time to move on
She told me, “With all due respect, you are already gone”
So we walked on the beach and we sent out a prayer to be free
To the palms and the waves and the foam and the sand and the sea

After all, there’s one thing I know
That you got to be strong to let go
Let go

Alice Howe Boston, Massachusetts

To hear Alice Howe sing is to be enraptured by the natural, unaffected beauty of her voice. There’s no artifice, no histrionics — just honest, authentic, emotionally resonant singing in the tradition of the roots music that shaped her.

Her second and latest album, Circumstance, was recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals and produced by her creative partner Freebo (Bonnie Raitt). ... more
