This is another one that falls into my obsession with finding different blues progressions. Hope y'all like it. All comments/suggestions encouraged.

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

This really speaks to me, man. Good job!
Great writing, fine instrumental, and good singing.

Hi, Tommy !:))


I think your progressions were
just great as was your playing
and singing too !:))
You were on the minor key side
on this one !!:)) I liked it
very much !:))

Cheers
Dani

Blues baby!

DA... to TA... keep em coming!

Hi Tommy,

your vocals and guitar are great.
Crispy mix.
Like it.

Guenter

Outstanding work, Great vocal performanc, thanks for sharing!

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.

Tommy. That is fantastic! Some real blues topped off with a great mix and some marvellous vocals. Nice!

Wow Tommy, that was great all around!

Mike B.

Like it all particularly the lyrics.

Josie, thanks for the nice comments.

Mike, thanks for checking in and taking the time to comment.

Rich, thanks for listening and leaving the kind words.

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.

floyd

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.

Wow very nice tune. Guitar was excellent as well as the vocals

Scott, Thanks for checking in and commenting.

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.

Tommy,

All has been already said.
Vocals ...perfect
Guitar ....perfect

Well done

Alyn

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

Man, this is good, Tommy! I like everything I have heard you do, but I think this is a new favorite.

Keep em coming!

Steve

Janice & Bud, You both know that I hold your opinions in high regard, so thank you very much. Great quote from Jimi. How true.

Alyn, Thanks for your kind words.

Greg, Thanks, and you may be right about that snare. Good call.

Steve, Thanks and I'm looking forward to hearing more from a rejuvenated Steve.

I didn't know Eric Clapton posted on this site:)

I mean wow! Tight, righteous, awesome.

You've got the perfect voice for this and you nailed it. Dude, you can play too! The mix is outstanding, I can visualize the band on stage. I don't know what else to say. Applause.

Ole, Thanks for the very generous review. I appreciate it.
