Hold Me Down

from Blinded EP by The Broken Orchestra

fan club exclusive

about

Initially this piece was part of an unfinished track for a soundtrack Carl and Pat were working on.
Tom came in, laid some simple guitar ideas on it and it grew. Emily and Tom sat down and wrote some great lyrics, it took on a new life and had a great eerie feel.
The final stage was to add more ambience, more guitar, more texture and re-balance the mix. Once complete it felt very full without containing too much, the vocal felt like the key to this track, time was taken to ensure the feel was just right.

lyrics

Hold me down
Don't let me lose control now
I'm hanging on to what I know

I've seen the beauty
And I've seen the darker side
Of what we all live and breathe

See me I want more
I just can't ignore the finer things
I live life through you
In love, laughter and truth
And we're all just passing through

Hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down

Hold me down
Out on my own now
And I will reap what I sow

I'm realigned
Changing on the inside
Cutting all ties that bind

See me I want more
I just can't ignore the finer things
I live life through you
In love, laughter and truth
And we're all just passing through

Hold me down
Hold me down
Hold me down
