    Hold It Back
    Well, I can't, but I won't
    I wouldn't and I don't
    Release me, show mercy
    Release me from my body
    I tried to hold it back
    But the waves keep on crashing
    Keep on crashing the bay
    I try to go my way
    But my will seems broken
    Torn between foreign hands
    And I won't start to hesitate
    Live up to the promises
    The ones I made
    But I crush myself to pulp
    Burn the rope I need
    To get off the hole
    I can't, but I won't
    I wouldn't and I don't
    Release me, show mercy
    Release me from my body
    And I don't hesitate
    Live up to the promises
    The ones I made
    But I crush myself to pulp
    Burn the rope I need
    To get off the hole
    Burn the rope I need
    To get off the hole

More Than Tabs

Hear every part, read it in the notation you prefer, and practise it at your own tempo

Audio Playback

Play the whole score back, or step through it note by note. Every track is synthesised from its own instrument, so a drum line sounds like drums and a piano part sounds like a piano.

Dual Notation

Switch any track between tablature, standard notation and note names — or show them stacked, aligned bar for bar. The same score, in whichever language you read fastest.

Practice Tools

Slow the tempo until a passage sits under your fingers, set the play range to loop the bar you keep missing, and mute the tracks you want to play yourself.

About This Score
