Cooka Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 I saw people writing this, and also saying Joan of Arc reminded them of Fergie's Big Girls Don't Cry. So I did back to back plays of both sets of songs, and the only thing I learned is that the Gwen and Fergie songs sound like utter shit. hahahaha I'm not a fan AT ALL of the Fergie version of Joan Of Arc. THANK GOD for the SUBLIME Acoustic/Demo version. Hold Tight doesn't sound like Baby Don't Like, IMO. I can't say it enough: Hold Tight is Bedtime Stories 2015. I love it so much!!!!!!! UGH!
frzndrwnwrld Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Everyone hears different things and that's fine. I think Joan of Arc sounds like Big Girls Don't Cry as well. No one is saying she copied these songs or that people will compare them. I'm just saying that when I hear them, I think of songs by other artists, so it kind of robs the experience from being unique. No other song on the album makes me feel this way though. Well, "Devil Pray" has a slight resemblance to ''House of the Rising Sun'' by The Animals, but it's more noticeable in the demo.

Guest CJM Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 i really hope we get this on tour. i can hear it being an anthem
Bones Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 i love this song soooooooo much its might be my fav on this album!!! Hope we can get a live or get this song on tour!!!!
Kilt Posted March 30, 2015 Posted March 30, 2015 I don't see the similarity with BDL though. the thumping drums and synth line
Flip The Switch Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 i love this song soooooooo much its might be my fav on this album!!! Hope we can get a live or get this song on tour!!!! Mine as well. There's something melancholic about it. Loving the male vocals. "EVERYTHING'S GONNA..."
M.Dolla Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 Hold Tight sounds like Baby Don't Lie mix with Coldplay's Princess of China tbh I love the song it reminds me of Holiday in a way
Lindyloo Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 This is one of my favourite tracks. I play it loud and proud. Fantastic song.
Jairo Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 After several weeks listening to it, is my least favorite song. I like it, tho
Flip The Switch Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 "I don't wanna breathe air that you're not breathing / I don't wanna hear, if your heart's not beating / If you hurt, then I wanna be the one that's bleeding / Wanna be the one that's bleeding..."
Shane Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 "I don't wanna breathe air that you're not breathing / I don't wanna hear, if your heart's not beating / If you hurt, then I wanna be the one that's bleeding / Wanna be the one that's bleeding..." We finally had decent weather yesterday, and I was belting the bridge of this song in my car with the windows and sun roof open like there was no tomorrow!
Shane Posted April 4, 2015 Posted April 4, 2015 i secretly wish it is released as a single Why secretly?!

rocknrolla Posted April 5, 2015 Posted April 5, 2015 it's a guilty pleasure of mine You shouldn't feel guilty
HolidayGuy Posted April 6, 2015 Posted April 6, 2015 This is pretty good- not in my top five of the album, but good.
HavenHigh Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Initially I thought this one was nothing special but it truly is a grower and I really like it now. Of course it helps a lot that this one is not one of the urban midtempo or ballad tracks and stands out because of that, wished the album had more of these kind of songs...
Guest Medoner Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) This track just wasnt interesting to me on any level - until noww. So good. Edited April 9, 2015 by Medoner
Roland Barthes Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Some people don't understand what they did to Rebel Heart from the demo to the album, i don't understand what they did to Hold tight.
Guest Medoner Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Some people don't understand what they did to Rebel Heart from the demo to the album, i don't understand what they did to Hold tight. Yeah i thought the same thing. Demo was pretty epic but i really started liking the final now
madmark Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 This is one song from the album all of my friends can agree on liking.. I always get mixed reactions around the rest i.e. from like to dislike (except for maybe Ghosttown, which also seems to be near universally liked). Like I said before, I know that doesn't mean much because Ghosttown should be a smash if friends were a gauge, but I do think it has appeal for people not crazy about Madonna. And it is just a sweet and positive song.
mnino Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 Some people don't understand what they did to Rebel Heart from the demo to the album, i don't understand what they did to Hold tight. The only track I skip.... I get what you're saying. I really liked the demo in all its Britney Spears/Max Martin-esque form.
Barbie Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 I love the final version. I don't really remember what the demo sounded like as I only listened to them a few times each and deleted them (didn't want to end up being disappointed) Love the beat, great catchy lyrics. It's one of my favorites on the album.
