about

ABOUT HOLD YOU:

It’s a song about loss.

At some point, we each lose a loved one in our lives. And naturally we seek comfort in reliving the more tender and intimate moments that had been shared. "HOLD YOU", by GLU and A Band Called Paul, paints the picture of those times when we immerse ourselves in the memory - the sensory presence of someone no longer with us.

Following on from the 2023 release “LONG WAY DOWN”, “HOLD YOU” is the second collaboration between Glasgow-based musician GLU and Dublin’s A Band Called Paul. Once again, the two artists crafted the song in remote locations, with GLU supplying the initial musical foundation of the track in a recording of interweaving stereo guitars onto which Paul put a vocal track before, together, they crafted the other instruments to build in intensity as the powerful emotions of the track mature.

lyrics

LYRICS:

Your heart
A gentle beat is pulsing through me
Skin on skin
The feeling that you are me
Together we are one

Hold this moment
Hold it tight and move it closer to me

I'll hold you in my breath
Hold you in my heart
Hold you in my mind
Hold you in my arms

I'll hold you in my breath
Hold you in my heart
Hold you in my mind
Hold you in my arms

We're holding
We're holding on
And I can't let go
I can't let go
I can't let go

Will you stay
Will you stay
Stay with me
Will you stay
Stay with me
Will you stay
I can't let go

I'll hold you in my breath
Hold you in my heart
Hold you in my mind
Hold you in my arms
