HiSQ & Terri and Norman Bergen -I´ll Never Let You Go
I met my girl a long time ago but she wouldn't let me be. No matter where I tried to hide she was always after me. I left my girl a long time ago. Now she's hangin' on my tail and says, she'll never let me go.
My man left me a long time ago but I wouldn't let him be. No matter where he tried to hide I was always after him. My man left me a long time ago. Now I'm hangin' on his tail and say, I'll never let you go.
I'll never let you go I told you so (oh yeah) I'll never let you go You can stand on your hands or shout it out loud but I'll never let you go.
My life with her was miserable but now it's even worse. All girls avoid me when they see her, it's just like a curse. I left my girl a long time ago. Now she's hangin' on my tail and says, she'll never let me go.
His life with me was miserable but now it's even worse. All girls avoid him when they see me, it's just like a curse. My man left me a long time ago. Now I'm hangin' on his tail and say, I'll never let you go.
I'll never let you go I told you so (oh yeah) I'll never let you go You can bark at the moon in the afternoon, but I'll never let you go.
I'll never let you go I told you so (oh yeah) I'll never let you go You can stand on your hands or shout it out loud but I'll never let you go.
I'll never let you go I told you so (oh yeah) I'll never let you go You can murder me, it won't set you free, I'll never let you go.

It has taken decades for this rockin’ country song to appear on a record. Erkki Vuokila wrote it in the beginning of the 80’s. He has carried it with him and waited for the right time. He made a demo of the song with Peter Engberg, Noora Kuusikko and Tomi Tajakka of Steve’n’Seagulls about ten years ago. When HiSQ was doing new demos they remembered it and when it sounded great they decided to introduce it to the whole band. After being in the studio they sent it to Bablo. Bablo remembered his true friend Norman Bergen, a legend who had written for instance ”Only A Fool Breaks His Own Heart” which also Bablo has sung in Finnish, ”Muisto vain jää”. The song was one of Erkki’s all time favorites so he was very eager to work with Norman. Norman asked his wife to sing this duet and that’s how many dreams came through. HiSQ is releasing its first duet with this charming couple.
The Finnish music collective HiSQ began its journey in early 2021 when composer Erkki Vuokila and singer Bablo met. Their thoughts about music were passionate and quite similar. Bablo also had a record company called Ässä Records. They started to plan the first songs for HiSQ immediately after that. They asked Peter Engberg and Janne Oinas to be the masterminds behind the production. Artwork was given to Markku Mäkelä and videos to Arto Pöllänen. The HiSQ band consists of Finland’s best musicians.
The first EP was published in September 2021. It had five totally different kinds of songs with five featured singers. It has been played on radio stations all over the world and ”Ridin’ the Alimony Pony” was Song of the Year 2022 on Museboat Live Channel. The biggest success so far has been with an emotional piano ballad ”Flesh and Blood” with Marko Hietala’s stunning vocals published in September 2022. It has been #1 on the Euro Indie Music Chart and the World Indie Music Chart.
”Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee Some More” is the 7th single by HiSQ and a praise for rock ’n’ roll. The lyrics were co-written with featured singer Jessie Galante from Buffalo, New York. She believes that the song is about how you should allow the force of the music you love overtake you and that you can never get enough of it. The song has an infectious stomping beat and the guitars were influenced by Wilko Johnson, who had recently passed away when the band went into the studio. Playing guitar without a guitar pick gave the song extra roughness honoring him as the great guitarist from the band Dr. Feelgood. The second half of the song demonstrates to everyone how captivating rock music can be. Once the song is over, you'll probably want to listen to it again in part because of Jessie’s impressive vocals.
”Gimmee Gimmee Gimmee Some More” had a long journey to the final record. HiSQ wanted to do something with Jessie Galante and played an early version of the song to her. Its name then was ”Classic Rock.” Jessie wasn’t enthusiastic, but when Erkki, Peter and Janne totally changed the arrangement, HiSQ had found the perfect formula for this song and the lyrics found their spirit with Jessie’s idea for the chorus.
HiSQ is already preparing new songs with Bablo and Erkki steering the HiSQ boat.
