What was said
"Let it loose is the song that might get me the most emotionally as a human being since high school. When I hear this, I cry. I'm not fucking with you. I want to say this to you without breaking down. I didn't love my childhood. But this song, the songs you wrote, it's the only time I could feel because I couldn't allow myself to feel. If I did, I would have I would have had a nervous breakdown. I'm glad to have been of help, brother. You really were of help. And this song more than anything, it's one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard. Why won't you perform this live? Mick doesn't want to sing it."
