She & Him - You Really Got A Hold On Me

[@Struwwelpeter]

I used to come here and listen to this song and watch this video for hours and hours... I don't know how many years ago (around 6 or 7, maybe). I was certainly numb at this particular time and this version of "You Really Got A Hold On Me" is deep and kinda soothing and so well performed by Zooey and Matthew, plus the video which captures perfectly the vintage atmosphere of the song with all the ads, and cartoons and old movie scenes, it was like a mental prison, but I liked to be here cause while I was listening to it I could forget about how badly hurt I was, even if it was for a while. Now this video surfaced around my recommendations and here I am once more. I'm glad I can say: "Now I'm fine and I got over it" and I can appreciate it properly. I'm "alone" but sooo mature right now and I learned a lot with my past experiences - like we all should do. Take your time, cry and mourn what you've lost but don't forget you can't be like this forever. Give yourself a little space, improve yourself and grow. Sometimes life sucks hard, but better times will always come

[@ferber8974]

I feel so deeply identified with the things you wrote. I keep coming here to let things go and to navigate all the feelings this beatiful song, interpretation and video cause me. This congregation of artwork is a mental corner that I visit time from time and it's nice to know i'm not the only one ! Thank you so much to the beatiful soul that put all these pieces together.

[@ashbautista652]

Wow, I'm not the only one. Glad we're doing fine. It's been 10 years since I listened to this song.

[@franciscobabel7323]

you lot are beautiful people!

[@neloangelo66]

Thank you for sharing your experience past @lucas. 🙏

[@kevindossey3649]

o wow....couldnt say it better than that.

[@missnattycat]

I love her voice, and I love love LOVE this song. Perfect combination!

[@BurntByTheMoon44]

this is so beautiful. I love Zooey and M.Ward. Such beautiful voices.

[@MAdams-zm2sk]

I used to watch this a lot at night when KZbin was my only resource to listen to music. I think of it often and am glad I found it again.

[@shadrussell]

M. Ward is fantastic - so are the old cartoons in this video. I wish we could go back to the good ol' days - even though I wasn't around for them in the first place.

[@JohnSmith-yv8gf]

At first I thought The Beatles version was the best. Then I heard this one. Zooey and M Ward fuckin kill it. They totally nail that somber and empty vibe. I love the older doo-wop versions of this song as well, but the way they covered it perfectly portrays the dread and desperation of unrequited love.It's been years and I can't believe that I still don't like her; but I love her. I still don't want her; but I need her. I need her like Kanye needs Jesus. I need her like California needs rain. I still think about her from the moment I wake up until the moment I crawl back in bed. And she will NEVER feel that way about me. That shouldn't invalidate my existence; but fuck if it doesn't make me feel that way most days. Music like this is triggering yet a godsend at the same time. At least I know I'm not the only human being to feel this way. To be so lost in desire you become apathetic about everything else... Including yourself. So all I can do is smoke a fat jay and listen to this song in the background... and try to cherish the beautiful times spent with her rather than wish I could have them back. It's hard; society tells me to be a man, that I shouldn't feel emotions like this. Well maybe when I grow up I will be a man one day. But for now I am ashamed that I am rendered so pathetically helpless by the absence of her in my life. That I feel literal physical heartache over her still. That I still yearn for the days where all she had to do was smile at me and it would spark flight to the butterflies in my stomach... Perhaps I am not strong. I hope I'm not the only one who comes to this video sharing these feelings. Safe travels my friends. Watch out for the love bug; it's a dangerous thing.

What a fucking beautiful comment. Full of poetry.

[@JohnSmith-yv8gf]

I appreciate that man. Glad it spoke to other people

[@ivanalvarez782]

damn dude, that fucking killed me, but spoken perfectly...

[@andresastudisho]

the kind of music you listen to when you are deeply thoughtful.... alone in you room, remembering her and everything about her, as her memory slowly fades away.... and you start sleeping, ironically, with a smile in your face.

[@andresastudisho]

***** indeed it is!

[@pinkuirosama]

+Julio Andres this is so true

[@drumraine6910]

Julio, I think you nailed it.

[@ankovastro]

cried reading this, ironically, with a smile on my face

[@TheFanzinerobinson]

the last part is not my case i fall sleep and then dream about her, shit u.u

[@gigglegirlnoel]

This is my first time listening to She & Him. WOW! I LOVE IT!

[@jamesm4034]

I am addicted to music!!! And this is one of the mist beautiful songs! Everything about it is perfection

[@Karla-yz7it]

Its soothing like a lullaby.

[@FelFree]

Yeah ☺ it is

[@ryanwillard8389]

Anyone who thinks this is a Beatles cover is sadly wrong. Can we please give credit to the amazing original from Smokey Robinson and the Miracles?

[@kristenaide]

Ryan Willard still, the Beatles did an amazing version

[@shaitet]

You're right, but The Beatles cover is still amazing.

[@sarakay8946]

I remember always listening to this version and watching this video back in 2011 when I was like 17. I just thought about it again and I’m happy it’s still here!

[@jeepersmcgee3466]

I'm going through some difficult shit right now, and this song just gets to me. I've been listening to it on repeat for hours at a time for the last few days, and as stupid as it sounds I feel like it was written about me

[@lilymoriarty]

I have done the same thing with this song for over 10 years. I always come back to it for comfort.

[@ditaparlow7412]

It's the "hold me Hold Me Hollllddd Meeeee" for me 🤗

[@joesempek5451]

You're not stupid my friend. Or alone

[@joesempek5451]

You're good my friend

[@qoyadreedus5794]

I love this version so Much!!

[@25PattyCake25]

Oh my God. This song. The guy I like put it on when we were listening to his iPod and was like, "Do you know this song?" And I was like, "No." And he goes, "You should... Because you really got a hold on me...." Our 4 year anniversary is in a week. (:

[@jerika_aisza]

I like this version. Their voices blend so well.

[@laurahewitt3486]

Wonderful version of this timeless song.

[@Ashlady2u]

Zooey is freaking adorable, talented, the entire package covered in hot!

[@spinifers]

I find this song, together with the fantastic footage, oddly hypnotizing.

[@laceyabbacchi]

You will forever be in my debt, Zooey, for giving me the ability to hear your beautiful voice!

[@ktbeatles]

Beautiful song. They cover this so well.

[@TrillianDeschanel]

I could listen to her voice for days...and I do! Beautiful and M. Ward = Greatness! WONDERFULLY SAD SONG

[@LifeisforGuitar]

love this song/ had no idea that Zooey could sing like this let alone with on of my fav's (m ward) at the same time!!!!!!

[@NNY101]

she is amazing! and with M. ward its even better. this song makes me cry

[@MeganTheVikingTraveler]

I met M. Ward and Zoey at a shoot, they are extremely awesome (:

[@joesempek5451]

They are amazing I just had to chime in and say so. Love it! Fantastic

[@joesempek5451]

I'm bi polar manic depression. Lost my wife my kids my house.even my freedom for a minute. This song is so beautiful and hits hard

[@toodrunktodream]

[@djpowers5w]

this is beyond incredible. Just astounding... over all... Wow...

[@skullfire1010]

This song introduced me to Zooey's voice in 2008. I've been in love with her ever since

[@jorgetarantino]

one of the best voices of this decade

[@chair909]

This song has some memories attached. Drive down nostalgic memory lane.

Making me extremely nostalgic about a time i never even had the pleasure of experiencing..

[@sabrinaadoll]

Man I havent heard this song in yearssssss. I used to listen to if everday.

[@sixgunstrawberry]

I always love to watch this right before i go to bed.

[@sixgunstrawberry]

Seriously, thank you for making this video. I watch it before going to sleep at night and it makes me feel a little better about everything. Puts me in a beautiful and peaceful place (which is hard to come by). Again, thank you. I love this.

[@PhotoGirl2792]

love all the retro drive in clips

[@MoK86]

i love the song and i love the video. i love anything that has to do with oldies and drive-in theaters. thats an awsome video

[@MaluMonte]

So beautiful!!!! I shared this video on my facebook profile and my friends loved it!

[@BornAmazing]

This song is really hard to listen to without being triggered because it personifies my depression so accurately. It's a beautiful but painful song.

[@jacintamrsdarcy]

Nobody can out do smokeys version but this is so sweet.

[@cas115]

Love this song! Zooey Deschanel is wonderful!

[@superdemonboy]

This is one of those great tunes made even more amazing in slow-motion - if you get what I mean.

[@TheaterGeek2007]

I like all the drive-in things in this video. My cousins and I make it a summer tradition to go to one of the only drive-in's left in Oregon.

[@Lynn760]

This song is beyond beautiful.

[@LorynToo]

I heard them on World Cafe (NPR) yesterday and I promptly bought their 2nd album. Now I'm talking it up to friends today. World Cafe is an excellent way to discover groups.

[@mandylynn79]

Hauntingly beautiful!

[@ToxicSwagga]

I think I love her...

[@jazzelineknox]

i love this. cant wait to see them this summer!

[@Bambi122701]

I love this, I used to live in a town with two functioning drive ins (still there now too) And they played the old consessions vids in between movies

[@ManuelaCosta-cq5xq]

I don't like you, but I love you Seems that I'm always thinkin' of you Oh, you treat me badly I love you madly You really gotta hold on me (you really gotta hold on me) You really gotta hold on me (you really gotta hold on me) I don't want you, but I need you Don't wanna kiss you, but I need to Oh, you do me wrong now My love is strong now You really gotta hold on me (you really gotta hold on me) You really gotta hold on me (you really gotta hold on me) I love you and all I want you to do is just Hold me Hold me Hold me Hold me...

[@fufu8488]

SO BEAUTIFUL. I LOVE IT MORE THAN THE ORIGINAL. TOTALLY ADDICTING.

[@treeandjack]

wow.....film and song is fabulous.....

[@williamg2552]

Total agreement. The MIRACLES have nothing to worry about.

[@imchim]

That's very true about people wanting to have her have her own sound. I know I think so. Personally I want to hear her sing Willie Nelson's, Crazy, Patsy Cline style. I think it would fit her voice perfectly. She reminds me of her very much.

[@debragiannini5864]

She writes her own good songs

[@Dzumdang]

Great video. Takes me back to all those nights at the drive-ins as a kid. I wish there were still a few of them that survived- especially after I started dating.

[@emmagrant2407]

I love this cover!

[@brandyeklund5948]

She is just PHENOMINAL. Wish she could perform more.

I can't stand how much I love this song

there is no limit to how many times you can listen to this song

Damn, she took it to a whole nother level, good thing for 500 days of summer, without the success of that movie she wouldnt have been where shes at.

wow thats really cool that they let you post this, major respect to Domino records

[@MeltedValdor]

for the people talking shit about the song, it's a cover it's suppose to sound different it's the musician's way of performing/recording the song.

[@lik89ma]

Breathtaking...

[@chapinabonita16]

I love this song!(': It makes me cry though:'(

[@kylewhitehead5975]

If you like someone you want them. If you love someone you need them like a cigarette smoker needs nicotine. It's a messed up cycle because the more you like someone the closer you are to needing them and that can turn bad quickly. That's what this song says to me anyway.

[@tracksuitjim]

this is such a beautiful song.
