The song Let Her Go was written by Passenger. Passengers real name is Michael David Rosenberg. He is an English songwriter/singer and was born May 17 1984. I like this song because it has such a good beat and melody to it. It’s a song that you won’t even know you memorize. Out of all the songs I could have chosen, I chose this song because the feeling it has in it. You can feel the heartbreak he felt. Personally, I don’t really listen to any of his music except for this song. I admire how he can write his feelings and perform it.

The songs deeper meaning is that you can’t just take things for granted. The line, “Only know you love her when you let her go” is what he’s trying to tell the audience. Passengers purpose for writing the song is because he was dating a girl and they broke up and he was upset that he let her go. The line, “Cause you loved her too much and you dived too deep” talks about how he loved her so much that he pushed her away; and then realized how much he actually did love her. The story that's told during the song is that he falls in love with a girl. He doesn’t realize how much he actually loves her until it’s too late. The song addresses love and heartbreak. …show more content…

It is all about having someone who left you in the middle of the way; that is so painful, and that is what Taylor was trying to say by her beautiful song. From the song, I understood that what changed never came back

Martin Luther’s reasons for challenging the Catholic church changed after he translated the New Testament. Before the New Testament was translated (document A), Martin Luther had a very respectful tone displayed through his writing. In document A, Luther was bothered by the practice of indulgences, but continued in his letter to say that he was not blaming anyone. 18 years later in Document B, Luther had translated the New testament and realized that the Pope was misinterpreting the scriptures.

Beyond its role in the greater context of the plot, the song itself plays around with JFKDSLFJSDKLFJ. Lyrically, the song is quite bland. In particular, its imagery is clichéd: wedding bells, birds, roses, etc. However, this makes sense for someone who has fell in love for the first time.
