Hold Me Now - Thompson Twins Cover for 80's V2

[ODH]

It all started with Pete C's cover of the Killing Moon.  I thought I'd better get on and do an Echo and the Bunnymen cover for the fest.  And I ended up doing a Thompson Twins one instead.  D'oh!

Drums = DM-1
Bass & Keys = GB
Guitar = Tokai Breezysound

Hold Me Now

Thompson Twins cover

[cuthbert]

Brilliant reimagining of the original song, which I still have a soft spot for (especially the chorus). I really dig the big drums and slashy chords, and well done bridge part! Love the direct (and excellent) vocals on this.

Nice one, Nick!

(as a somewhat uncanny aside, this song also somehow made it to my shortlist after hearing Pete C's 'Killing Moon' cover, after which I had also decided I was going to do an E&tB cover, and somehow landed on this song instead. Better pull my thumb out and finish it!)

[Pete C]

Great cover Nick - enjoyed how you did it ! Strangely enough this was next on my list to do and I'd been playing about with an arrangement for it this last few days ! Back to the drawing board for me !
