Hold Me Tight
About this episode
John Dyhouse discusses his creative process in writing the song 'Hold Me Tight'.
I was really pleased with the last upload, "Wonderful Lives", and so I specifically set out to use the same vibes/instruments. I was not sure of the theme for the lyrics however, so ... I started by using a method I have worked with before. I took a few random phrases, not knowing where I was heading. After two verses, I stood back and thought right time for a chorus, and for the first time ever for me, I followed it by a post chorus. This then gave me the title, which had been elusive up to this point. Rearranging the earlier sections and finalising the structure with a bridge, I felt I had scored. Of course Suno came up with another winning arrangement and I love it.
