Duran Duran(named after a character in Roger Vadim's sci-fi classic, Barbarella) are an electronic pop-rock band that were part of the new wavemusic movement in the early 1980s. Created by Nick Rhodes(keyboards) and John Taylor(bass) in 1978, with the later addition of Roger Taylor(drums), Andy Taylor(guitar), and Simon Le Bon(lead vocals), the band have sold over 70 million records and are the most commercially successful of the new romanticbands. Their songs were cheerful, hook-laden pop that fared well on the radio, but what many remember best about Duran Duran are their iconic music videos. Though many of the videos were tongue-in-cheek, the band never quite escaped the glamorous and decadent jet set image their early videos projected. The band spent on an average more than a six figure sum (£), on first 3 albums videos (each) alone.

Hold Me Lyrics

Duran Duran

(hey, this time..)
Shall we walk? shall we run? through my head you understand.
Does the body you conceal need the touch of someones hand?
Ashes, violations, who would they burn for?
In your isolation... why cant you see? (what I see..)
I wonder if the lights out
I wonder if theyre listening
Hold me, lay your shame away.
Show me where your lovers stay.
Hold me lay your ghosts away.
Show me for yourself.
You are lost and alone -
But a prisoner of your pride
When the passions you ignore you can never hide..
One of these days youre going to find out
cuz one of these days youre going to try
And what did I say to make you wind up, with this spear of guilt inside
What I wonder if the lights out
What I wonder if theyre listening
(chorus)
-
(na na, na-na-na, naaa)
(na na, na-na-na, naaa)
(na na, na-na-na, naaa)
(na na, na-na-na, naaa)
Hold me... (na na, na-na-na, naaa)
Show me... (na na, na-na, na na, na-na)
(chorus)
