Tortured Soul Don't Hold Me Down [Official Audio]

Details

Description

New York dance trio Tortured Soul mix classic R&B and soul influences into the machine-tooled sound of traditional house music. Eschewing the usual sequencers and synths, the songs on Introducing Tortured Soul were recorded with live instruments, including real bass and drums and a very '70s-sounding electric piano.

Add to this slick but warm-sounding setting John Christian Ulrich's pleading falsetto vocals and comparisons can be made both to camp disco icon Sylvester and British new wave dance-popper Jimmy Somerville, which furthers the appealingly retro qualities of this album. The songs are unapologetically poppy, with solid chorus hooks along with insistent beats, although they're invariably stretched out to elongated club-friendly lengths. A solidly entertaining album, Introducing Tortured Soul might appeal even to those who profess to dislike house music.

Lyrics:

It's alright, it's alright
I'm lovin’ the way that you hold me baby
It's alright, it's alright
As long as you don't hold me down
Let's not fight, let's not fight
Fighting is never the answer to it
We won't fight, we won't fight
As long as you don't hold me down
Out of sight, out of sight
You know that I'm gonna be faithful to you
Out of sight, out of sight
You know I won't make you a clown
Oh honey, it's alright it's alright
I'm lovin’ the way that you hold me baby
It's alright, it's alright
As long as you don't hold me down

I always do what I wanna do
(That doesn't mean that i'll stop loving you)
I can be yours if you let me be free
(That doesn't mean you should stop loving me)
So many changes we go through
(That doesn't mean that I'll stop loving you)
You know I’m yours so let me be free
(That doesn't mean that I’ll stop)

It's alright, it's alright
I'm lovin’ the way that you hold me baby
It's alright, it's alright
As long as you don't hold me down
Don’t know why, don’t know why
You think that you are the only
Only one on the run
Guess what, I got my own things to do
Yes I do
You know you say it’s cool
Yeah you say it’s cool
But I can tell that you get angry when I’m gone
Yes, it goes both ways, ‘cause on my busy days
You act just like I’ve done you wrong
Baby please, please don’t worry, please baby
No matter whatever I’m doing, I’ll be home
You’re not alone, I’ll never be away too long

You always do what you want to do
(That doesn't mean that i'll stop loving you)
You say you’re mine but you need to be free
(That doesn't mean you should stop loving me)
So many changes that we’re going through
(That doesn't mean that i'll stop loving you)
You say you’re mine but you need to be free
(That doesn't mean you should stop loving me)

Loving you, baby I like it
Just don't hold me down (Hold me baby)
You know it's true, baby I want you
Just don't hold me down (Just don’t hold me down)
Loving, loving baby I like it (Loving you)
(I Like it)
Just don't hold me down (Hold me baby)
You know it's true (You know it’s true)
Baby I love you
Just don't hold me down

Do your thing
I won't cling to you
I understand that you’ve got things to do
So when I’m gone, you need not be concerned
You know I’ll return

It's alright, it's alright
I'm lovin’ the way that you hold me baby
It's alright, it's alright
As long as you don't hold me down

You always do what you want to do
(That doesn't mean that i'll stop loving you)
You say you’re mine but you need to be free
(That doesn't mean you should stop loving me)
There’ll be changes we’ll go through
(That doesn't mean that i'll stop loving you)
You say you’re mine but you need to be free
(That doesn't mean that I’ll stop)

Loving you, baby I like it (Like it)
Just don't hold me down (Hold me down)
You know it's true, baby I want you
Just don't hold me down (I’ll hold you baby)
Loving, loving baby I like it (Loving you)
(Baby I Like it)
Just don't hold me down (You know I like the way that you love)
You know it's true (Oh yeah you know it’s true)
Baby I love you
Just don't hold me down
