Don't Let It Die is a song, written, produced, and sung by Hurricane Smith. It was originally recorded by Smith as a demo in the hopes that John Lennon would record the song. Following advice from Mickie Most, Smith decided to release it himself. It made #2 on the UK Singles Chart,[3] with Middle Of The Road's Chirpy Chirpy Cheep Cheep keeping it from the top spot.[4]
Smith received the 1971 Ivor Novello award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically.[5] The lyrics have an ecological theme, stressing the beauty and fragility of nature, and the human responsibility to look after it, not to "let it die".
