Elton John & Britney Spears - "Hold Me Closer"

Recommended Posts

I'm sobbing. The fact we're hearing her voice again, in 2022, as a free woman, in what is probably the first decision she made that wasn't forced by anyone else, working with another legend. It's simply TOO MUCH to handle for me right now.

Its mid to cute after a few listens.

Some of the vocal mixing is odd.  The gp will prob eat this up.

A smash.

Now we have to wait another week for it to be officially out and the release is ruined because someone couldn't wait until next Friday..

It's definitely the most gp-friendly and radio-friendly song Britney made since Scream & Shout.

 

And it has something that IMO could be used as a starting point for a possible B10, if and whenever she feels like releasing it. A full album of nostalgic disco bops.

It’s clearly not coming tonight since it isn’t out anywhere internationally or the UK. Unless they’re doing a tomorrow afternoon style drop

Totally agree, it's such a genius and smart move for him. And I like that, compared to Cold Heart, he took a few more risks here and he completely gave the track to Britney and the producers singing only a couple of lines by himself.

I know. It gave me such nostalgia and goosebumps. She sounds like she did on "Sometimes" and basically the baby one more time album. Especially towards the end of the song. 

 

I just know the HQ version will go off harder. Such a beautiful nostalgic release that i can't believe i was against when i heard the news. So emotional rn .

I'm not going to listen but can't they just push it up a week. 

 

I wonder if it matters if the song leaks that early anymore. Back in the digital era it reduced sales but does that have an impact in the streaming era. People who want to listen to it on streaming services will listen to it...hmm.

Ok I didn’t wanna comment at my first listen cuz some songs take a bit for me to finally get into and this was the same. 
 

first listen was like hmmmm ok… cute but hmm idk…

 

second, third, fourth, fifth and then on a speaker…. And then it hit. Listening to it loud af made it click For me and love it. :jonny6:

 

def Not perfect but it’s a cute song to get her back in the business. Idk if the us would give it a chance But I think Europe will.

Transcribed the lyrics really quick. I don't think they've been posted in here yet.

 

(Hold me closer)

(Hold me closer) Oh, baby

(Hold me closer)

(Hold me closer)

 

Saw you dancing at the ocean

Running fast along the sand

A spirit born of earth and water

And baby, fire flying from your hands (Oh)

 

Hold me closer, tiny dancer (Ooh-ooh)

Count the headlights on the highway

Lay me down in sheets of linen (Ohh-ooh)

You had a busy day today (Whoa-oh)

 

(Hold me closer)

(Hold me closer) Hold me closer

(Hold me closer)

(Hold me closer)

 

There are caravans we follow

Drunken nights in dark hotels, baby (Yeah)

When chances breathe between the silence

When sex and love no longer gel (Oh)

 

Hold me closer, tiny dancer (Ooh-ooh)

Count the headlights on the highway, baby

Lay me down in sheets of linen (Ooh-ooh)

You had a busy day today

 

(Hold me closer)

(Hold me closer) Baby, baby

(Hold me closer)

(Hold me closer) Oh, yeah

 

(Hold me closer)

(Hold me closer) Hold me closer, me closer, me closer, mm-yeah

(Hold me closer)

(Hold me closer)
