Hold My Hand - Horatiu Roman - live at Blågårds Apotek, oct 2024

Here's my new song that I'm still kinda working on that I composed this week (or last, but "finished" as much as a song is ever finished, this week). It's an intense, heartfelt and absurd ballad with some wacky deep lyrics that truly transcended the dream world to come through me into this one. I played it live for Listening Room last Sunday, and again this past Wednesday at Blågårds, and even tho their piano is quite ... microtonal, I wanted to share it to mark this early version of it, as it was really heartfelt and raw.
I might take it down later as the piano is kinda messing with me. But idk, on the other hand, maybe someone will enjoy it in 5 years so I might not.
I woke up one day and had the main chorus in my head - "Hold my hand and push me off a ledge, but hold it tight so you can save me". There is something pure about this feeling, a reckless abandon, a yearning for self destruction and salvation through trust, and also something very absurd and contradictory about it which I absolutely love. The rest of the lyrics are literal mumbles I recorded into my phone right after waking up, afraid to open my eyes from fear that I would forget even a single word. They came to me as you hear them, mostly, and I transcribed them from the recording. They weren't in tempo or anything, and there was a bit of adjusting to fit the music and a bit of rhyming but mostly it's clean cut from the dream. Which makes this song my ~4th song from a dream. I'm beginning to see a pattern here.
I use a different live version of this as my submission for weeklybeats week 41. I took longer to make the latest songs I've been making, but they have gotten quite good if you ask me. I'm very excited to record them in the studio eventually, for now I am practicing them live around town and it's a blast!
Thanks Dave Sorensen for the video! and I'm v grateful for your support!
