about
"Don't let it get to you" is a piano driven rock anthem, a call to remain hopeful in the face of adversity. While Ray was finishing the song during the Covid-19 lockdown, her mom, world renowned songwriter Jude Johnstone, was able to lend her expertise in taking the song to the next level. DLIGTY's 80s aesthetic was brought to life with performances by legendary drummer Vinnie Colaiuta (Frank Zappa, Joni Mitchell, etc.), bassist Nick Scott (Van Morrison, Sinnead O'connor, etc.) and guitarist Dave Keary (Van Morrison, Roger Daltrey, etc.), as well as a background vocal by Johnstone, recorded in her bedroom.
lyrics
Don't Let It Get To You
Ray Duncan/Jude Johnstone (c) 2022
So what if I promise too much
and I don't follow through
and I don't stay in touch?
I know that you understand
that it's hard to stay true
and with all these demands
they're telling me, telling me
Don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
I see all of us watching our backs
so caught up in the fear
that no one can relax.
I think you'll find at the end of the day
that all of us are the same
and I just wanna say, wanna say
Don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
And we're all trying to find a way
to hide from the pain.
But to see a brighter day
we gotta break the chain.
So don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
don't let it get to you
don't
Don't let it get to you
Don't let it get to you
Don't let it get to you
Don't let it get to you.
