About This Track

Released as a digital download in October 2012, 'Latch' was the lead single from Disclosure's debut album 'Settle' and featured vocals from Sam Smith. The track debuted on the UK Singles Chart and introduced the Lawrence brothers' production style to a wider audience, its success building through 2013 as the album arrived.

The lyric adopts the voice of someone newly captivated, the metaphor of latching and locking running through lines like 'I'm latching on babe, now I know what I have found'. Smith's vocal performance carries the tender urgency of the words, whilst the production beneath balances restraint with a persistent pulse. The song's appeal rests in that synergy between the brothers' electronic framework and the human warmth of the vocal line, each element lifting the other.

"Latch" is a single by Disclosure, released 8th October 2012. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 16 articles about Disclosure.

Lyrics

Latch

You lift my heart up
When the rest of me is down
You, you enchant me, even when you're not around
If there are boundaries, I will try to knock them down
I'm latching on babe
Now I know what I have found

I feel we're close enough
I wanna lock in your love
I think we're close enough
Could I lock in your love, baby?

Now I got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you

Now I got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you

I'm so encaptured, got me wrapped up in your touch
Feel so enamored, hold me tight within your clutch
How do you do it, you got me losing every breath
What did you give me to make my heart beat out my chest?

I feel we're close enough
I wanna lock in your love
I think we're close enough
Could I lock in your love, baby?
I feel we're close enough
I wanna lock in your love
I think we're close enough
Could I lock in your love, baby?

Now I got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you

Now I got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you

I'm latching on to you (I'm latching on to you)
I won't let go of you (I won't let go)
I'm latching on to you (I don't wanna let go)
I won't let go of you (I won't let go, I won't let go)
(Never)

    Disclosure are elated and electric headlining Reading

    Opening with ‘White Noise’ the split second AlunaGeorge finish performing it in the dance tent, Disclosure bring the festival experience full circle. “This is the first festival me and Howard ever went to,” Guy Lawrence declares. “That’s why I think this crowd is going to be the best crowd we ever played to, am I right?” Getting their audience involved is something Disclosure excel at. Transitioning so effortlessly from one song to the next that you'd almost believe they were created this way (let's face it - Disclosure were always meant for mass dance-alongs), the duo take the main stage for their very own. They might be champions of the moment, but the maintain their victory with no shortage of humility. “What a pleasure it is to share the stage with one of our favourite bands in the UK: Foals!” Harkening back to their own days as festival punters in the fields (“we have stood where you are stood”), the set offers nothing short of elation. The duo’s electric energy ignites the darkening field with an all natural ease. Drawing from songs from all throughout their history, it seems like this moment was always meant to be. From the darkened refrains of ‘Driving On’, through the soulful introduction of Brendan Reilly for ‘Moving Mountains’, to the elated rendition of ‘Latch’, Disclosure usher in the night with an unparalleled excitement – and the weekend is only just beginning.
