Let It Die

"Let It Die" is the B-side to the single "We Can Make It", written by Luke Melvin. It is also included on his May 1970 album Nature Will Take Everything.

Composition
"Let It Die" was a simple love song that Melvin wrote for the album. It was also the B-side to "We Can Make It". Melvin said: "I wanted to write a love song, like the early Beatles stuff, so I thought, 'why not make a story up?'. That's how that song came about, just a love song really."

Recording
The recording was simple and no overdubs were needed in the February 1970 Overdubbing Sessions. It was a simple set up: Melvin on acoustic lead guitar, John Lennon on acoustic rhythm guitar, George Harrison on bass guitar and Ringo Starr on tambourine
