abstract
  • %22Too Many Walls%22 is a song by British singer-songwriter Cathy Dennis. Released as a single from her album Move to This in September 1991, %22Too Many Walls%22 became Dennis' fourth Top 10 hit on the U.S. pop chart, where it peaked at #8. Her other American Top 10 singles were: %22C'mon and Get My Love%22 (officially credited to 'D Mob introducing Cathy Dennis'), #10 in 1990; %22Just Another Dream%22, #9, also from 1990; and %22Touch Me (All Night Long)%22, #2 from earlier in 1991. %22Too Many Walls%22 also spent two weeks atop the U.S. adult contemporary chart. In the UK, the song was released in October and reached #17 on the British pop chart. In Australia, the song reached #57 on the Australian pop chart. %22Too Many Walls%22 is a midtempo pop ballad and was co-written by Dennis and Anne Dudley, member of the avant-garde synthpop musical group The Art of Noise. The song was originally a composition of Dudley's with strings but no lyrics, until Dennis adapted the song and added words before it appeared on her debut album. The song was then remixed into a more radio-friendly version before being released as a single. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Dennis stated that she thinks the ballad is %22the best song on the album, especially in terms of lyrics. The other songs are fun, but they can be quite vacant.%22 She said the song is %22about when you want to be together with someone, but other people's opinions and prejudices get in the way.%22%22Too Many Walls%22 was Dennis' final Top 10 hit in the U.S. as a featured singer; she has, however, written other hit songs, notably Kylie Minogue's worldwide hit %22Can't Get You Out of My Head%22.The video was filmed at the newly opened Stansted airport. It was directed by Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel.Ashley Tisdale covered the song for her promotional deal with deodorant mark Degree.
