From three piece Leeds based outfit Tillerman comes a loving ballad that’s hauntingly beautiful and delivered with such endearing emotional weight that you’re completely immersed in from front to back. The soothing and soaring chorus refrain, “Hold Me, Hold Me”, is such a gripping and tearing performance. From the lead to the backing, to the minimal but immersive instrumental anchored on a simple but emotionally heavy bed of keys and acoustic strum, Tillerman know the right bells and whistles to hit on this towering ballad. As the drums slowly kick into gear around the second chorus, the song rises to new heights as they cry to not “leave me on my own”.
It’s a loving ballad that has you absolutely enraptured from start to back. A beautiful and booming performance that holds you from start to end.
