Crazy preachers of our doom Telling us there is no room. Not enough for all mankind And the seas of time are running dry. Don't they know it's a lie... Man is born with the will to survive, He'll not take no for an answer. He will get by, somehow he'll try, He won't take no, never let go, no... I hear them talk about Kingdom Come, I hear them discuss Armageddon... They say the hour is getting late, But I can still hear someone say, This is not the way... (repeat)
Never Let Go is the first single released by the progressive rock band Camel in November 1972. The B-side of the single is the Peter Bardens song "Curiosity." It is from their debut album Camel (1973) and it is considered as their most memorable and well-known song. In addition to the single version, cut down from the album version, the band has recorded live versions of the song on three different live albums and it was contained in a compilation. The song is considered the band's most popular song to perform live. Writing the song is credited to guitarist Andrew Latimer.
The song starts with Latimer playing a 10 seconds part four times as other instruments fill the song. Then comes the first verse where Peter Bardens sings. There is a small playing and then again the second verse with Peter Bardens singing. After there is a long keyboard solo by Bardens and comes the last verse. After the last verse there is a guitar solo by Latimer until the ending of the song where it fades out.
The song's name is used as the title to the band's 1993 live album with the same name.
Opeth's song Benighted resembles very much Camel's Never Let Go.
