"Hold me"
Anyone else's favorite Fleetwood Mac song? Does anyone have any cool like behind the scenes information or trivia about the song (writing, recording etc.) and music video like more details than the Wikipedia page?

Have you seen the youtube videos about the behind the scenes of the making of the Hold Me video?

I'd say it is my favorite of their studio productions. I like the songs that have a lot of Christine and Lindsey collaboration. There was a radio interview around the time the Mirage album came out, where the interviewer asked who did the deep voice ("come on and..") in the song, and Christine said that it was Lindsey's voice which had been recorded on a sped-up tape and then played back at normal speed.

I have seen the one with just Stevie, are there more? Quote:
I would like if the beginning of the song was longer, maybe one more short verse, before all the chorus, it could have been a four minute song. But even with all that repetitive chorus, I never get tired of it. It shows what a great craftsman Lindsey was with putting together the songs. I think that in Lindsey and Christine's songs the lyrics are more simple like its part of the music, like another instrument, they might have a few songs that are more poetic, or have a message behind it like some of their stuff on Rumours, but that's what Stevie's songs were like. Stevie's were more poetic and usually had a deep meaning or story along with it. |

Not my favorite by a long shot, but I LOVE McVie's bass lines on that song.

Eh, I'm glad most people love this song and are even able to call it their favorite Mac song ever, but for me it doesn't even make my top 20 of just Christine's songs even. Probably my least favorite "hit" next to everywhere.

I can't even give it that. At least "Everywhere" has a classic Brit pop sound.

It just sounds so nice. I have not heard the live version from the Mirage tour back in 1982 and I really want to hear how they did Hold Me live.
I love the music video too, very 1982. Did anyone have the privilege of living back then? Wasn't Hold Me a big hit on the radio and MTV? Last edited by Wdm6789; 03-22-2014 at 11:59 PM.. |

Ditto. I thought I was the only one.

^^^I always enjoyed it. But, oddly, rarely consider it when I think of Fleetwood Mac songs. In my mind, it conjures up the early MTV age, so I associate it more with Men at Work, Madness, The Tubes, and other high-rotation staples of that channel in the early years.
I do love the song, and think it was deservedly the first hit from the record. But "Gypsy," also a mega video-hit, always occupies a more prominent place in my thoughts of Fleetwood Mac songs. |

They still play Hold Me on one of the classic rock stations where I live, the good classic rock station that plays The Beatles and The Doors and Pink Floyd, not the crappy one that plays more arena rock. Gypsy is great also, one of my favorites. But I always have to listen to the extended version, Lindsey's guitar solo is amazing. I think it's my favorite one.

It's ok. Kind of cheesy and way to repetitive

I love the Hold Me video, and I do think the song is great too. Its just not one of those songs that I can listen to very often.

Hold Me and Gypsy were great follow up Singles/Radio hits/MTV videos in 1982 to follow up Tusk. These two songs were HUGE and many of the Tusk na Sayers came back to the Mac.
