About This Song
About "Release Me" by Count Dee's Hit Explosion
Engelbert Humperdinck's dramatic ballad, defanged. Count Dee's 'Release Me' is a lounge-lizard sigh, the plea for freedom rendered as a polite request. The orchestral swell is there, but the desperation is missing—it's heartbreak as wallpaper, a sad song for people who've never had their heart broken.
