This the kind of music that will grab your soul in a chokehold until you say:
LOOSE ME!
LOOSE ME!
LOOSE ME!

I can’t understand just why?!
Cuz, you on a serious Ashford and Simpson kick and I LOVE IT!
Amazing how situational context can drastically change one’s interpretation of a jam!
Loose me! FREE!!!

I heard “It seems to hang on” the other day on the radio. The station was playing some serious 70’s jams. I’d almost forgotten how freaking brilliant Ashford and Simpson were as songwriters and realized also that I hadn’t fully appreciated the musical arrangements when I listened back in the day.
And re-listening to the lyrics from a different perspective was also enlightening.
