Song Critique: Erik Schouten – Holding You | Rock Review

Music Review:
“Η όμορφη, ταξιδιάρικη μελωδία μάς κερδίζει από την πρώτη στιγμή και αφήνουμε τον εαυτό μας να παρασυρθεί μαζί της σε υπέροχες περιπλανήσεις και αναμνήσεις. Με θετική διάθεση και ειλικρίνεια, τα φωνητικά μάς εκφράζουν και νιώθουμε σαν να ακούμε τη δική μας ιστορία. Η ευκίνητη ροή του ρυθμού μάς ισορροπεί και βρίσκουμε μέσα μας το κίνητρο για να συνεχίσουμε και να πραγματοποιήσουμε τις επιθυμίες μας.”

Lyrics of Erik Schouten – Holding You
V1
The back garden gate won’t close like it should.
There’s rust on the lock, but the key is still good.
Paint on front porch starting to fade.
Stones tumbling down from the walls that we made.
Ch
When everything gone
There’s just me and you
I need your love to hold on to
I’m holding you
Still holding you
I’m holding you
I’m still holding you
V2
That old mustang has seen better days
At 100 miles an hour I could steal you away
Everything’s quiet the sun disappears
There used to be an old drive-in, but it’s been gone for years
Ch
When everything gone
There’s just me and you
I need your love to hold on to
I’m holding you
Still holding you
I’m holding you
I’m still holding you
Br
I’m not trying to slowdown this ticking of time.
I can reminisce
but I can’t rewind
Ch
When everything gone
There’s just me and you
I need your love to hold on to
I’m holding you
Still holding you
I’m holding you
I’m still holding you
