Songfacts: Tell me about the song itself. However it also stands for me letting go of all of the anxiety and fear of putting out a solo record that I've carried around for a decade now. It's the title track and it's about someone moving on after a breakup. Shilling: That song has a dual meaning for this project. I want to know the story behind 'Letting Go.' I want to know who that was about, what happened that caused you to write that. And there are three on your EP that did for me. And by that I mean when I hear new music, if there's one that I keep going back to and going back to, then I know that that's obviously my standout. Songfacts: Well, I've got three that are my stand out favorites.

So I'm pretty proud of each tune and I think they all had a special place on the record. The songs were chosen from a playlist of my faves.

I think the songs and this project turned out very strong. Songfacts: 'Next time you want to kick me out for anything, just read this.' Josh Shilling: I want you to send me that quote in an e mail so I can show it to my girlfriend. Shawna Hansen Ortega (Songfacts): First thing I have to ask you is, does it get tiring always being so perfect? And on this EP, he captures it raw, the way nature intended. Few singers can perform the songs they wrote with anything approaching the unapologetically anguished notes that are Josh Shilling's voice. The Mountain Heart singer/songwriter and session musician has recently released his first solo EP, a too-short (in our opinion) offering of his exceptional talents. It's fun to see his discomfiture, because he is otherwise so flawless.

'When I get a question like, 'Which one of these songs meant the most to you?' I'm like, I didn't prepare for that one, I don't know what to say.' This is Josh Shilling, consummate professional, stumbling over his own responses.
