"Let Me Be" was the lead single from Solace, the second album by Australian multi-instrumentalist Xavier Rudd, and on paper it had no business on the radio. Looking back in 2023, Rudd said as much: he was pairing didgeridoos with guitars when nobody else was, never imagined any of it as a commercial proposition, and was simply stoked when it took off anyway.
Its reach kept widening. Anti- gave it a European release in 2006, and in 2025 it was certified platinum in Australia.
