As a music promoter, I have come across countless songs that have left a lasting impact on me. One such song that holds a special place in my heart is “Untouched” by The Veronicas. I remember stumbling upon this song while working on a project with a friend and from the very first listen, I was captivated by its powerful lyrics and catchy melody.
“Untouched” was released as the lead single from The Veronicas’ second studio album, “Hook Me Up” in 2007. It skyrocketed to success, reaching number two on the Australian charts and becoming the duo’s breakthrough hit worldwide. What sets this song apart is not only its commercial success but also its deep and meaningful lyrics that resonate with listeners.
The song opens with the lines, “I go, ‘Ooh-ooh’, you go, ‘Ah, ah’/ La-la-la-la, a-la-la-la.” These simple yet impactful lines immediately capture attention and set the tone for the rest of the song. The lyrics speak of desire and longing for someone, expressing the overwhelming need to have them in one’s life. It portrays a sense of vulnerability and raw emotions, making it relatable to anyone who has experienced a deep connection with another person.
The chorus further emphasizes the intensity of the emotions portrayed in the song. It goes, “I feel so untouched/ And I want you so much/ That I just can’t resist you/ It’s not enough to say that I miss you.” These lines beautifully convey the desperation and longing one feels for someone they deeply care about. It encapsulates the idea that simply missing someone is not enough; the desire to be with them is overpowering.
Listening to “Untouched” takes me back to a specific moment in my life when I was going through a similar experience. The lyrics perfectly captured the whirlwind of emotions I was feeling at the time, making it almost therapeutic to listen to. The Veronicas skillfully crafted a song that speaks to the depths of human emotions, allowing listeners to connect on a profound level.
It is worth mentioning the incredible production on this song, thanks to Toby Gad. He brilliantly blended various genres, including pop, rock, and electro-pop, to create a unique sound that perfectly aligned with the emotions conveyed in the lyrics. The instrumentals and programming further enhance the song’s intensity, creating a powerful and unforgettable musical experience.
“Untouched” by The Veronicas holds a special place in my heart not only because of its catchy melody and impressive chart success but also because of the emotional connection it evokes. It serves as a reminder that music has the power to touch our souls and provide solace during challenging times.
