Hold Me Now (Thompson Twins song)
"Hold Me Now" is a song by British band the Thompson Twins. Written by the band members, the song was produced by Alex Sadkin and the group's lead vocalist Tom Bailey. The song is a mid-tempo pop song that uses a varied instrumentation, including synthesizers, a xylophone, a piano and Latin percussion. It was released in November 1983 as the first single of their fifth studio album, ''Into the Gap''.
Released in the United Kingdom in late 1983, the song peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart in November of that year and was certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in 1983, becoming the band's biggest-selling single, and their first top five in that country. The song was released in the United States in February 1984 and became the band's highest charting single there, peaking at number three on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in May, remaining on the chart for 21 weeks. In addition, the song topped ''Billboards Hot Dance Club Play chart for one week in April 1984.
==Background and recording==
In 1983, after the commercial success of their third album ''Quick Step and Side Kick'', the Thompson Twins collaborated again with producer Alex Sadkin to record ''Into the Gap'' at Compass Point Studios, in the Bahamas. Bailey and Sadkin co-produced the album including "Hold Me Now", which according to Bailey "had a very strong idea"〔 〕 behind it and was written very quickly.
When they were going to record the song, Bailey said that he was excited, nervous, and "almost over-prepared for it", he knew exactly what instruments were going on every track; it took three days to record.〔 Before the release the song was remixed by Sadkin at RAK Studios, in London.〔 About the process Bailey commented: "You know what a great producer is? It's someone who takes great ideas and makes them into good records. In our field, great music is a hit record."〔 The song became the Thompson Twins' biggest hit in America,〔Crouse, 2000. p. 228.〕 but at the same time it pressured the band to produce top-selling music, even if they were not completely comfortable with that, as Alannah Currie stated in an interview with David Oriard of ''The Spokesman-Review'':
The biggest trouble that we've had basically is that the song, "Hold me Now" was a huge hit, it was really big here, it was really big all over the world. Which is great, but it was just an accidental thing. It was just a song that we wrote. But after that then, we got everybody—managers, the record company—on our back to write "Hold me Now, Part 2" and harassing you to try and find a formula. But we can't really. We'll never find a formula for what we did. And that upsets some of them.
