The mix of complex emotions that HODD is expressing in his latest release is just insane! Eavesdropping on Your Soul is such a sensitive and genuine track that truly captures the essence and delicate nature of love. They say some things can only be felt rather than just said, and somehow, HODD manages to deliver those through his remarkable lyrical sensitivity.
HODD‘s Eavesdropping on Your Soul is a lyrical dive into the quiet magic of love. It skillfully captures the moment one heart feels the pull before the other even notices. It’s a beautifully delicate portrayal of attraction’s first steps where emotions stir beneath the surface, and everything feels both fragile and exhilarating. The song highlights the need to carefully maneuver when emotions are high, reminding us of both the excitement and vulnerability which are felt at that phase.
The second verse hits hard with a tender, vulnerable truth: “I know that you’re fearful of the pain that comes when you love strong.” These lines are all about the risk and trust it takes to love someone deeply. There’s an emotional weight here. The fear of falling too fast but at the same time the hope that, in this free fall, something magical could actually happen. Eavesdropping on Your Soul captures that headlong rush of love, where everything feels uncertain but at the same time worth it.
Recorded at Jackdaw Studios with the legendary Mark Neary, whose work spans from The Rolling Stones to Adele, “Eavesdropping on Your Soul” shines with top-tier production. With ex-Iggy Pop drummer Mat Hector on drums, Neary on bass, and an evocative string section from Benjamin Lee and Gabriel Waite, the musicianship perfectly complements the song’s emotional delicacy. HODD has crafted something truly special here, such an honest, heartfelt track that feels as raw as it ever could be. I would say that we are lucky enough that as of the 15th of September, all of our ears will be blessed with such a graceful and truthful release!
