“On Hold” è la prima traccia che ha il compito di introdurci al terzo album “I See You” dei The XX, in uscita il 13 gennaio 2017. Il terzetto indie-pop londinese aumenta le “quote” electro nelle proprie sonorità, anche in seguito all’esperienza solista di Jamie XX, senza scalfirne il fascino.

I DON’T BLAME YOU
WE GOT CARRIED AWAY
I CAN’T HOLD ON
TO AN EMPTY SPACE

NOW YOU’VE FOUND A NEW STAR TO ORBIT
IT COULD BE LOVE
I THINK YOU’RE TOO SOON TO CALL US OLD
WHEN AND WHERE DID WE GO COLD
I THOUGHT I HAD YOU ON HOLD

AND EVERY TIME I LET YOU LEAVE
I ALWAYS SAW YOU COMING BACK TO ME
WHEN AND WHERE DID WE GO COLD
I THOUGHT I HAD YOU ON HOLD

I THOUGHT I HAD YOU ON HOLD

MY YOUNG HEART
CHOSE TO BELIEVE
WE WERE DESTINED
YOUNG HEARTS
ALL NEED LOVE
CALL IT A LESSON

THE STARS AND THE CHARTS
AND THE CARDS MAKE SENSE
ONLY WHEN WE WANT THEM TO
WHEN I LIE AWAKE STARING IN TO SPACE
I SEE A DIFFERENT VIEW

NOW YOU’VE FOUND A NEW STAR TO ORBIT
IT COULD BE LOVE
I THINK YOU’RE TOO SOON TO CALL US OLD
WHEN AND WHERE DID WE GO COLD
I THOUGHT I HAD YOU ON HOLD

AND EVERY TIME I LET YOU LEAVE
I ALWAYS SAW YOU COMING BACK TO ME
WHEN AND WHERE DID WE GO COLD
I THOUGHT I HAD YOU ON HOLD
I THOUGHT I HAD YOU ON HOLD
I THOUGHT I HAD YOU ON HOLD

AND EVERY TIME I LET YOU LEAVE
I ALWAYS SAW YOU COMING BACK TO ME
WHEN AND WHERE DID WE GO COLD
I THOUGHT I HAD YOU ON HOLD
I THOUGHT I HAD YOU ON HOLD
I THOUGHT I HAD YOU ON HOLD
