Can you understand me Baby, don't you hand me a line Although it doesn't matter You and me got plenty of time There's nobody in the future So baby let me hand you my love There's no step for you to dance to So slip your hand inside of my glove Hold me, hold me, hold me Hold me, hold me, hold me I don't want no damage But how'm I gonna manage with you You hold the percentage But I'm the fool payin' the dues I'm just around the corner If you got a minute to spare I'll be waitin' for you If you ever wanna be there Hold me, hold me, hold me Hold me, hold me, hold me The music video for “Hold Me“ features the band in a surreal scenario set in a desert, based on several René Magritte paintings. In the video, Christine McVie is in a room surrounded by paintings, using a telescope to search for Lindsey Buckingham in the desert. Buckingham discovers Stevie Nicks lying on a chaise longue and paints a portrait of her. In other scenes, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood are archaeologists, dressed in khaki shorts and pith helmets. They find the desert littered with broken mirrors, which serve as a motif in the video, along with partially buried pianos, electric guitars, bass guitars and other instruments. Due to the band members' strained relationships at the time, the video shoot in the Mojave Desert was a “nightmare,“ according to producer Simon Fields. “[They] were, um, not easy to work with,“ agrees Steve Barron, who directed the clip. Most scenes feature only one or two band members at a time and the entire band is never seen together. “It was so hot, and we weren't getting along,“ recalls Nicks. Buckingham was still not over their breakup six years earlier, nor her subsequent affair with Fleetwood. Further, she elaborates, the rest of the band was angry with Fleetwood because he had then begun an affair with Nicks' best friend, who left her husband as a result, causing serious issues for Nicks. “Four of them, I can't recall which four, couldn't be together in the same room for very long. They didn't want to be there,“ says Barron. “Christine McVie was about ten hours out of the makeup trailer. By which time it was getting dark.“ According to Fields, “John McVie was drunk and tried to punch me. Stevie Nicks didn't want to walk on the sand with her platforms. Christine McVie was fed up with all of them. Mick thought she was being a bitch, he wouldn't talk to her.“ “Hold Me“ is a single by British-American rock group Fleetwood Mac. The song was the first track to be released from the album Mirage (1982), the thirteenth album by the band. Lindsey Buckingham was main producer with Richard Dashut and Ken Caillat. Christine McVie and Buckingham were the lead vocalists. From Wikipedia.
