PianoGuys is inspired by the classic films of old Hollywood, Let Me In combines the raw emotion of a pop-rock ballad with the beauty of orchestral film score. The music video pays tribute to that source of musical inspiration with its cinematic styling. Let Me In, in its nod to the movies, is a story of stark realization and love lost. Even through pain and feelings of doubt, a glimmer of hope still remains.
What Dean Kaelin (David's vocal coach) had to say: As far as the Preston Powis collaboration; David and I started writing some songs together a couple of years ago when he was doing his first album. We got several ideas down that I liked, but we never got a chance to finish them up. I mentioned to David that I had another talented student that I thought was an excellent writer and wondered if it would be ok with David if I let him listen to what we started and see what he would do with it. David said that would be ok. Preston finished up the song and we recorded it and sent it to David hoping that he might include it on his newest album. The song didn’t fit in with the album so David didn’t use it. I asked David later that since he wasn’t going to use the song if it would be ok if Preston used it himself. Preston is a great young man. I think he has a wonderful voice and is a great writer. He has always sung, but was inspired by David to pursue his dream and try to become a recording artist himself. He was honored that David would let him work on an idea that David and I started.


“LET ME IN” lyrics

These picture perfect memories
Seem to fade out with time
And now I’m stuck here wishing
I could read your mind
Oh, I’ve tried

Thought all along we’d turn this thing around
The more I tried the more you held your ground
I hope that you haven’t shut me out completely (Oh no)

And now we’re left here
We’re falling again
We’re losing it all
Again and again
How’d we get here again?

What would it take for you to finally let me in?
It’s more than I can take
To think that this, this could be the end
It hurts more than you know
Cause I'm not ready to let you go
But I can’t live this way
Anymore, anymore

You need some time to think you say to me
I wont give up till I can help you see
You’re not alone in this world
That's whirling past you
Oh no oh

And now we’re left here
We’re falling again
We’re losing it all
Again and again
How’d we get here again?

What would it take for you to finally let me in?
It’s more than I can take
To think that this, this could be the end
It hurts more than you know
Cause I'm not ready to let you go
But I can’t live this way
Anymore

Anymore (x3)

What would it take for you to finally let me in?
It’s more than I can take,
To think that this, this could be the end
It hurts more than you know
Cause I'm not ready to let you go
But I can’t live this way
Anymore, anymore

These picture perfect memories
Seem to fade out with time
And now I’m stuck here wishing
I could change your mind
