Don't Hold Me Tonight (2nd Attempt)
This song was written, played, and sung here by myself, Jeremy Hendrix.
My band is myself. That simple. If I grow some new arms and start playing anything other than guitar, I'll let you know.
I started this soundclick so that I could start putting my new and original work up on it. The old soundclick (Diamonds In the Rough www.soundclick.com/bands/7/diamondsintherough.htm) is plagued with bad singing and bad mediocre guitar playing. This is for my more evolved work. Check it often because I'll be updating older songs and putting new ones up as soon as I can get them recorded.
Story behind the song
Well, this is just angsty song I wrote. It was when I was really depressed and didn't have a girl around for me to talk to, so I wrote this in a sort of rebellion.

Verse 1
Don't call me
in the middle of night and tell me that you can't sleep
cause you've been thinking of me.
I don't wanna hear you sounding so weak,
and I know I should
wanna hear those things, but I'm not the type of guy
that you think that I am.
I'm sorry for all the confusion, but maybe,
Verse 2
if you...can't tell,
I'm not in the best of moods right now,
and I know...you are
just going to try to make me feel better,
but don't...do that
'cause I don't want to feel that way right now,
and, if you...don't understand that,
I'm gonna have to tell you, baby,
Chorus
I'm falling apart well enough here on my own. Just leave me alone.
and, please, stop trying to be so sweet. That's the last thing I need.
Don't talk if you can't improve the silence. Your words are like ice,
and I'm cold,...but don't hold...me tonight,
Verse 3
and it's not...you're fault.
It's this feeling I get that I can't control,
and I know...it hurts
you to see me acting like this,
and I'd stop...if I could.
You know I don't want to make you feel bad,
but I do...right now,
and there's nothing I can say to make it better.
Bridge
Something's after me, and I can't runaway.
Something's chasing me, and I can't find what to say,
and I'm feeling okay.
Chorus
I'm falling apart well enough here on my own. Just leave me alone.
and, please, stop trying to be so sweet. That's the last thing I need.
Chorus
I'm falling apart well enough here on my own. Just leave me alone.
and, please, stop trying to be so sweet. That's the last thing I need.
Don't talk if you can't improve the silence. Your words are like ice,
and I'm cold,...but don't hold...me tonight.
