Hold Back Your Love is the latest video released by White Lies from their Friends album.
“It’s hard for me to talk about ‘Hold Back Your Love’ in a measured way,” Charles Cave reflects. “We all absolutely love this song. I felt the same after we recorded ‘Death’, ‘Bigger Than Us’, or ‘Big TV’. Call it emotional attachment, or hopefully just a ‘good ear’, this song feels like it confidently sits itself down on the front row of White Lies songs that fall into elusive ‘encore’ territory.”
“I’m struggling to remember how this song came about, which is always a positive feeling as it suggests the process was a totally pleasurable and inspirational one, but I know that it was written quickly and the melodies seemed to do that dreamy thing of writing themselves.”
White Lies tour North America in early 2017 before heading home for UK dates.
