'Hold me Now' acoustic Thompson Twins cover

[Greeny]

Just me and my Tanglewood on the MBR.

Hit number 4 in the UK and number 3 in the US in 1983.

I didn't think I knew this...but I do. Love 'proper' stripped versions of songs that show the songs true beauty. And you've made it Greenylicious.

Cheers! I wasn't a huge fan of it at the time - it was far too popular, lol. But it's since taken on extra resonance and means a lot to my lady and me. So I'm singing it to her really :-)

[Hook]

I'm a little embaressed to say it but I always enjoyed this tune. Your fabulous cover not only brings back some memories but takes the song to a whole new level, very cool.
Rock on!

Know this one well, played the Thompson Twins album to death as a 14 year old.

You have blown me away with this, such a majestic version that I could now struggle to listen to the original now and like it.

Vocals and acoustic sound gorgeous, and loved the ending too where the acoustic drops off followed by the vocal

Killer ending Greeny!!!  Really liked all of your version, but the ending took my heart.  I always liked the lyrics for this, but didn't care much for the original.  Problem solved.  Hope your lady loves it, she certainly should.  Very impressive!  DD

[chunk]
