“Let Me Shake You” by Groove Moose

“Let Me Shake You” is an uplifting song about bouncing back from a low point, and the upbeat arrangement and encouraging lyrics will have every listener feeling better after just one listen. Groove Moose, a musical duo that has worked together for almost two decades, was inspired to write this song after seeing some friends go through respective hard times. They wanted to offer words of wisdom, a message to always keep going and cultivate a hope that things will get better. This track speaks to anyone who needs a little push to not give up.

Acoustic guitar strumming opens the song, making you think it might be an understated ballad track. But then, big drums and riffing electric guitar slam in, upping the tension before calming back down a bit for the first verse. The energy rises again for the chorus, where the intense instrumentation matches the impassioned vocals, creating the feeling that Groove Moose is desperately trying to knock some sense into the listener. These arrangement choices show this band’s aptitude for crafting a compelling sonic and lyrical journey that compliment each other perfectly. 

Lines like “take the time to let your soul shine” and “let me shake you, I heard you’re feeling down” provide a motivating sentiment, a reminder that times will change and get better even if you’ve had a “long run in the cold sun.” A captivating electric guitar solo after the second chorus instills hope and energy in the listener, working to pull you out of a dark mindset, or heighten a good one.
