Lied van de week: week 48 - 2016

On hold - The xx

Hoewel ik niet zo heel wild ben van The xx (ik hoor dat het goed is, maar het raakt me zelden echt), vind ik de nieuwe single On hold wel echt goed. Dat was niet zo vanaf de eerste beluistering, maar ik denk dat ik het nieuwe album, dat naar het schijnt meer zal lijken op het solo-album van Jamie xx dan op hun eerdere platen, wel eens zou kunnen smaken.

Je kan de nieuwe plaat, I see you, die uitkomt op  alvast hier bestellen.

Lyrics:

I don't blame you
We got carried away
I can't hold on
To an empty space

Now you've found a new star to orbit
It could be love
I think you're too soon to call us old
When and where did we go cold?
I thought I had you on hold

And every time I let you leave
I always saw you coming back to me
When and where did we go cold?
I thought I had you on hold

Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body

I thought I had you on hold

Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Dare me to, dare me to

My young heart
Chance to believe
We were destined
Young hearts
All need love
Call it a lesson

The stars and the charts and the cards make sense
Only when we want them to
When I lie awake staring in to space
I see a different view

Now you've found a new star to orbit
It could be love
I think you're too soon to call us old
When and where did we go cold?
I thought I had you on hold

And every time I let you leave
I always saw you coming back to me
When and where did we go cold?
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold

Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Where do you dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
You've got the body, you've got the body
Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Where do you dare me to, dare me to
Where does it stop, where does it stop
Where do you dare me to
You've got the body, you've got the body
Dare me to, dare me to

And every time I let you leave
I always saw you coming back to me
When and where did we all go cold?
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold
And every time I let you leave
I always saw you coming back to me
When and where did we all go cold?
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold
I thought I had you on hold
