about

Hold Me Down is an emotive escape into dreamy synth filled world. It keeps the bpm bumping just enough to work the dance floor while harkening back to the early new wave sounds coming from the likes of Depeche Mode, OMD and New Order. Sammy D’s natural baritone shines and fits perfectly with the arrangements created by fellow band mates Ryan Williams, Michael Tello, and Shane Duryea. While having a certain melancholy aspect to it, there is also a lush techno feel from the bubbling filtered synth that underlines the whole track. Its that feel married to Sammy’s thoughtful vocals and joined by the ethereal harmonies of Hannah Noelle, who lends her angelic voice as a guest on the track, that make this one special. Think of Abe Duque’s aughts hit “What Happened” mixed with pretty harmonic synth chord stabs lending it an uplifting quality missing from so much dance music these days. A happy mix of dark and light, this is sure to play well in the underground club scene between the fall and winter months. It sounds good early in the night to build a room as well as a dancefloor tool to bring down the house.

lyrics

Hold Me Down

It holds me down,
I spent so much time on my knees
And if I turn around,
Would I see everything behind me?
It was a fine time,
It was the place that I wanted to be
If I lose mine,
Could you be my new family?

As the leaves change,
Time falls
You can always count on a friend,
To save me
From myself
Back to where it all began

Dont slow me down,
You can take very thing that you need
When i turn around
It wont be me that you see
It’s a fine time,
It’s a place that I want to be
If I lose mine,
You can be my new family

You can be my new family
You can be my new family
You can be my new family
