Week 40 : Ferry Corsten featuring Shelley Harland – Holding On

For his ‘Right Of Way’ album (2003), Ferry Corsten worked together with a few vocalists. One of them is British singer, songwriter and producer Shelley Harland. In the past Shelley already colaborated with artists such as ‘Junkie XL’, ‘DJ Rap’, ‘Delerium’ to name a few. On Ferry ‘s ‘Right Of Way’ album you can find 2 tracks where she has written the lyrics for and has performed the vocals on: ‘Skindeep’ and ‘Holding On’.

The album version of ‘Holding On’ is a nice ballad with some electro influences and of course Shelley’s vocals. For the vinyl release Ferry went into the studio again and he turned the track into a cool, pumping version which works great on the dancefloors. That version was released later as ‘Ferry Corsten’s Flashover Remix’. Early March 2005 the vinyl was released on the ‘Tsunami’ label (Cat. nr. TSU 6054). ‘Holding On’ was also remixed by Above & Beyond, Luke Chable and for the Spanish release David Giménez and Miguel Sassot did a remix under their ‘Sassot & David Con G’ alias.

Lyrics:
The failing sky grows darker every day
And moonlight fading as you walk away
And all the roads that lead me to your heart...
... have gone astray

My hands are tied behind my back
And I'm weaked by your slow attack
You take me in, then change your mind again

Yous spinning wheel won't lead me to your view
And all the words I need to hear from you
I'm holding on but guess I'm out of luck
... and still in love with you

My hands are tied behind my back
And I'm weaked by your slow attack
You take me in, than change your mind again

Hold my face, in your hands
Look into my eyes, so understand
All the thoughts, inside your mind
Tell me it's time

My hands are tied behind my back
And I'm weaked by your slow attack
You take me in, than change your mind again

My hands are tied behind my back
And I'm weaked by your slow attack
You take me in, than change your mind again

Very good track. Personally I like the "Flashover Remix" best. And that Sassot and David con G remix is very cool too. The original version is a quality laid-back tune, I agree, but it's not exactly one of my favourites. As about the Above^Beyond Remix...well, I don't dig it, I don't know why.
Anyway, quality stuff all-in-all.:cool:

Somehoe I think Twan you should tell us more story about the track rather than just basic info, especially on vocal tracks he's done.
I really like to know how Ferry found out about her.
But I still thank your effort of doing this with all other stuffs you got around here.

Since Ferry is on the road / in the studio a lot, he's not always around to give me this kind of info. But ... I'll do my best! ;)

So it's not the original (album) version? Since there is nothing mentioned in the credits about the remixer(s) ...

It ain't the album version. It's sped up from a downtempo speed to a trance speed.
