Love Is Letting Go (feat. Diane Keaton)

Ashe's song "Love Is Letting Go (feat. Diane Keaton)" delves into the complex and often paradoxical nature of love. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional struggle between wanting to hold someone close and recognizing that true love sometimes means letting them go. The imagery of flying and soaring in the dark of night suggests a sense of freedom and the unknown, while touching down to be 'mine for a little while' captures the fleeting moments of connection that love often brings.

The chorus emphasizes the idea that love is not about control but about acceptance and understanding. The metaphor of the Moon and the Sun illustrates this beautifully; just as the Moon doesn't tell the Sun it can't rise, true love doesn't impose restrictions. This metaphor highlights the natural ebb and flow of relationships, where each person must have the freedom to grow and change. The repeated line, 'If you come back, I'll be waiting,' underscores a deep sense of loyalty and unwavering support, even in the face of uncertainty.

The song also touches on the ephemeral nature of life and love, comparing it to a wildfire that burns through life quickly. The desire to 'stay frozen in time' between hello and goodbye speaks to the longing for permanence in a world where everything is transient. Ashe and Diane Keaton's collaboration brings a poignant and heartfelt exploration of love's dualities, making it a relatable and emotionally resonant piece for listeners.
