I made this simple song to try out playing an acoustic guitar with an ebow. It works, but it's quite quiet. The movement of the fingers on the fretboard is louder than the sounds. I didn't use any effects on the guitar tracks.

Sometimes we stay in a relationship because we grow comfortable, and we're scared to leave. The fear of being alone fuels us to settle for the wrong one. This song is my reflection of one situation that I was in. "Let Her Go"
