Hold You Tonight

i wanna love you

But there’s nothing I can do

I wanna hold you tonight

I wanna touch you

Oh babe if you only knew

I wanna hold you tonight



why did we have to waste so many years

I thought the fight would go on forever

And now I’m fighting to hold back the tears

i want for us to be together


I wanna tell you

i wish I could tell you

I wanna hold you tonight

You said you loved me

yeah i thought you loved me

I wanna hold you tonight


how did this happen to us anyhow

Seems like the fighting went on for years

I still want you I’m all alone And now

I’m still fighting to hold back the tears

C J, Glad you enjoyed it . Thanks for listening. If you ever run into Chris Rhodes in Asheville tell him his old high school bandmate says hi. He plays almost every night around there. I hope to hear some of your tunes.

Dani, Glad you liked the chords. I know progressions are something you are into.

DA, Thanks for taking the time to comment.

Guenter, Thanks for listening and for the kind words.

PGF, Thanks for the comments. I appreciate it.

Tom,

BEAUTIFUL, lyrical guitar! Terrific vocal - sits right where it is supposed to - up front, but still in the mix - perfect reverb (Focusrite?) - excellent job on that!
Drums are perfect. Man! Tasty guitar!!!!!!

Great mix - a pro sound. Wow. You nailed this one - through and through. I don't know if it can get any better than that....

A big WooHoo! Love it.

Hi Tommy,

What a song! Everything about it is top-shelf. As floyd said, "you nailed this one - through and through".

I'm heading back for more!

Regards,
Noel

Tommy,

I would love to add this song to my playlist to be played on future gigs, I LOVE IT! If ever you think you might allow that please keep me in mind.

PS: If you decide not to let be covered, I fully understand and respect the decision.

Later,

floyd, Thanks for you very generous review. The vocal verb is from nectar. I usually use focus rite and i did use it on the individual tracks. The tone of the song pushed me to drench the guitar and vocal in reverb and delay. Thanks again. You comments made my day! Tom

Noel, Thanks for listening and commenting.

Danny, Feel free to cover this. You have my permission. I remember about three years ago you asked the same thing on a tune called Get Yourself To New Orleans. Are you still using it? Thanks for commenting. I always look forward to what you have to say.

We listened several times over the last few days before commenting and WOW! Man, that is stone blues. Like Janice just said "that's a melody that will stay in your head for a long time." Killer guitar and mix -- loving that organ too. The lyric and your vocal simply WORK together -- This is a no BS from the heart delivery.
Jimi Hendrix said blues is harder to feel than to play. That always stuck with me. When it is truly felt a blues player gets on another plane - look at Clapton's face on something like "Stormy Monday." You nailed this one buddy.

Another great one!! My favorite of yours that I've heard! Love the minor blues thing. Great vocal!! If there's anything I'd change, it would be a heavier, wetter snare sound. LOVE THAT GUITAR!! Keep 'em coming. Take care. Greg
