Courtney Love - Hold On To Me [✯✯✯]


Today’s iTMS freebee is Hold On To Me by Courtney Love, taken from America’s Sweetheart. Amusingly, the free track is drawn from the “clean” version of the album instead of the “explicit” one, so if you wanted to buy the full album you’d save 99 cents by taming yr. baser impulses, nyuk nyuk.

Now about the song… well, meh, maybe meh+. Courtney’s in her cracked-out Stevie Nicks mode here, I suppose. There’s nothing particularly noteworthy about the arrangement — it’s a little on the slick side, though the little soaring guitar figure in the chorus is nice. I’m going to be optimistic rather than negative and assume that that the multitracking in the choruses is a deliberate late 70’s / early 80’s AOR pastiche.

Men often believe -- or pretend -- that the "Law" is something sacred, or at least a science -- an unfounded assumption very convenient to governments.
