about

Bow Valley folk-pop songwriter Amelie Patterson is a pop music workhorse with hooks to spare.



Her new single, the dazzling alt-pop ‘Let Your Trouble Go’ is about empathy, and “wishing you could hold a loved one's burden for them,” Amelie Patterson describes, making space for a loved one so they can “take the afternoon off.” Amelie penned the song in New Orleans in January of 2020 to the beat of French Quarter buskers. By the time she took the idea to producer Ryan Worsely (Dear Rouge, MONOWHALES, Mother Mother) in June, the world was a very different place. Worsely and Patterson took the folk fixations of the song and surrounded it with sprightly strings and a helplessly head-bopping beat. Moments of levity interrupt the cerebral track with vocal modulation and soaring chorus worthy of Imogen Heap

lyrics

LYRICS

I wish I could hold your grief in mind
And just let you take the day
You could sit down by the water
Let it rise up, with the tides

Oh when the levee breaks
Oh when the levee breaks

I don’t believe in a lot
But I’m hopeful
What other choice do we got? Find a way
Whether you’re here or you’re gone
I’m still hopeful
I hear your voice and it's not far away

Let your trouble go
Let your trouble go
Let your trouble go
Let your trouble go

There’s a way for us to live past fear
Breaking out to bigger space
I’ve been learning from the water
Let it rise up, with the tides

Oh when the levee breaks
Oh when the levee breaks

I don’t believe in a lot
But I’m hopeful
What other choice do we got? Find a way
Whether you’re here or you’re gone
I’m still hopeful
I hear your voice and it's not far away

Let your trouble go
Let your trouble go
Let your trouble go
Let your trouble go

I don’t believe in a lot
But I’m hopeful
What other choice do we got? Find a way
Whether you’re here or you’re gone
I’m still hopeful
I hear your voice and it's not far away

Oh Let Your Trouble Go
