Can You Hold Me
Released in 2015, this duet by Britt Nicole and rapper NF overflows with raw emotion and power. The arc begins and ends with a soft, vulnerable soprano solo reaching out for comfort during a painful experience. A companion enters and the duet continues with the choir joining in underneath, layering and building until a climatic final plea for connection underscored with huge orchestral instrumentation. The chart also features an optional spoken soloist for a more authentic sound.
Instrumentation: Piano/Bass/Guitar/Synth/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Bass Tbn/Alto, Tenor, Bari Sax

It feels like a tear in my heart Like a part of me missing And I just can't feel it I've tried and I've tried And I've tried Tears on my face I can't take it If lonely is a taste then it's all that I'm tasting Do you hear my cry? I cry, oh Can you hold me? Can you hold me? Can you hold me in your arms? Just wrap me in your arms, in your arms I don't wanna be nowhere else Take me from the dark, from the dark I ain't gonna make it myself Put your arms around me Put your arms around me Let your love surround me I am lost I am lost If I ain't got you, yeah, If I ain't got you, I ain't got nothing at all Can you hold me? Can you hold me? Can you hold me in your arms? In your arms? Yeah, I feel like it's just me, feel like it's just me What it gon' take? What it gon' be? I don't even know (It's not just you) But I'm lonely Feeling like I don't even know me, I don't even know me (I feel it too) Gotta have you, gotta see you (You're the only thing I have to think about The only one I that can't live without) Gotta see you (I need you to hold me now) Can you hold me? Can you hold me? Can you hold me in your arms? In your arms? (Britt Nicole, NF)
