I was just offering some ideas about why Hold Me may not be as well remembered today as some of FM’s other songs, even though back in 1982, it performed so well on Billboard. Those ideas aren’t necessarily how I personally feel.
Another reason might be that FM only performed it live for one tour. And even when the Mirage tour was released to the public, they left Hold Me off the concert. That’s pretty blatant right there about how FM may have felt about the song, because they left the lead single off their last album (to that point) off the concert, a song that performed very well on Billboard. Since the song was never captured live (except on bootlegs), the song had less exposure than, say, GYOW.
