Diamond Club - We Must Let Go (BONUS TRACK - Not on orignial album)
from Tomás. · host Tomás.
When Thomas was thirteen years old, inspired by singer-songwriters like Stevie Wonder, Paul Simon, and various country artists he had heard growing up from the albums his parents would play, he sat down one day and put these words together humming out a melody as he went along. After getting to the phrasing he liked, and the timing he tapped out, he started singing the lyrics out loud, coming up with a melody that came from the music he heard in his mind. When he met David Hesse three years later, he sang the song(as he heard it in his mind) to David Hesse, who played the sounds he heard from him onto his piano, stating to Thomas what chords he was playing for him. This brought the song to life and he loved the feeling of writing a good song everyone could hear. --- Diamond Club is a group formed by lead singer Thomas G Robinson in 1986 when his boss at Diamond Video, Paul Bloch, decided to manage and promote the group after hearing a demo recording of this song (Tender Eyes) on a four song demo they put together. They recorded the songs in their high school music room when Mr. Burkle would let them in after hours. The song was on the demo simply called "Tom and Dave" which they had produced and recorded on their own. Paul, so taken by the demo, he purchased the band's instruments for them and set them up to record in the studio, blocking out a week's time. It was awesome! Years later, he would take them all back after nothing major happened for the group and he needed the money. --- We Must Let Go Words & Music by Thomas G Robinson (age 13) Vs I Ooh Girl, Why did you make me wait so long To tell me we were doing wrong Did you really have to wait so long Vs II Oooh Why, Why did you have to tell me now When we were just learning how Did you really have to tell me now Chorus: We've had too much love We've had too much time We've had too many things on our minds We've had too much love We've had too much time We've had too many things on our minds We must let go V s III Oh Why, why didn't you tell me from the start That you promised someone else your heart When we really should be apart Vs IV Oooh I, I'm gonna have to let you go I must find someone that I know Who will make me happy as we grow Chorus: We've had too much love We've had too much time We've had too many things on our minds We've had too much love We've had too much time We've had too many things on our minds We must let go Chorus: We've had too much love We've had too much time We've had too many things on our minds We've had too much love We've had too much time We've had too many things on our minds We must let go (c) 1986 Diamond Style Music (c) 2016 tgrJams Productions
