Description
This is a new version of the song "Holding Me Down" which I wrote and uploaded in 2005. I have always wanted to re-record it and also planned on re-writing the lyrics. However, I have lived with the song for 4 years now and every attempt i had at changing the lyrics just did not work. It just didn't "fit" - i still had the original words in my head the whole time. If that makes sense. Anyway, this version stays pretty faithful to the original except that the mix is a whole lot better and has a much richer sound - especially the vocals.

Lyrics
Holding me down
face on the ground
trying to love

feel so blue
how i found you
and lost you
and no-one's around

im trying so hard
to reach you
not trying too hard
to teach you
and our love, its over
its over, can't go on anymore

Raining down
threw my stuff around
i've got to leave
taking back
all the crap and the shit we said
hold me one last time

im trying so hard
to reach you
not trying too hard
to teach you
and our love, its over
its over, can't do this anymore

you
have a very good feeling for harmonies, great songwriting of old chords, try to crash with a bass or a snare, not to often, than the drums would better involved, sorry for this-but your song is great!

Master of hooks.
Obbster, you've done it again. Another beauty. Interesting how you've permeated the piece with distorted guitars throughout. Makes for a unique contrast against the vocal track. Well done, sir.

I had this song queued to lend my ears based on your comments. I haven't had the time, but I finally got back. I'm glad to hear that you put so much effort and time into this. So I wanted to hear the result. It sound really good, I think the song shows a good combination of restraint and gusto (opposite). I think you're walking the line pretty well. Though it's a slower tempo you make it really interesting and listenable with the vocal treatment and the guitar. A little more bass might not hurt like has been mentioned, but it's fine. About your lyric comments, it can be really hard to change lyrics. I know how it is when you don't like the ones you have but you're so "trained" to them you can't hear any others. The melody also can lock you into a set of lyrics. I HATE THAT! I think it's just human nature to get in a groove like that. It can be broken but it's not easy. Anyway they are not bad, they sound mostly very natural.
