about
HOLDING ON explores the fiery, energetic corners of the Americana genre. This song features soaring acoustic melodies, three-part harmonies and a storyline about never giving up and getting fired-up and inspired to chase your dreams. The song grows in intensity, leaving listeners hanging on an electric feedback break, and then bringing it home in the final, soul-crying energetic chorus.
lyrics
HOLDING ON by Taylor Shae
Sometimes you see it, and then it’s gone
Take your aim chase every flame that flickers off and on
Just when you need it, it’s hard to find
Thinking the path you’re on seems wrong will get you left behind
Leaving or lasting
All my life I’m asking
Can I keep holding on?
Holding on, holding on
I’m holding on ‘till the moment it’s gone
Through the highs and the nights that are long
Whether they gather or they scatter I still carry my song
Cuz’ I’m holding on, oh I’m holding on
Gotta pay your dues, sometimes you lose
Turn every stone, break every bone just to light the fuse
And when the noise is all around
You gotta yell, gotta raise hell just to make a sound
Cities are passing, all my life is asking
Is that I keep holding on,
Holding on, holding on
I’m holding on ‘till the moment it’s gone
Through the highs and the nights that are long
Whether they gather or they scatter I still carry my song
Cuz’ I’m holding on, oh I’m holding on
Taking corners blind
Every road each lit up sign
The voice that’s caught up in the wind
Is crying out from deep within
Everyone here has a story to sell
But I’m not quite sure just what I tell
Even when they think it’s almost gone
Even when the ground I’m standing on
Shakes and rattles and breaks upon
The weight of wondering where I belong I’m
Holding on, holding on
Holding on
I’m holding on ‘till the moment it’s gone
Through the highs and the nights that are long
Whether they gather or they scatter I still carry my song
‘Cuz I’m holding on, oh I’m holding on
I’m holding on
I’m holding on
I’m holding on, oh I’m holding on
I’m holding on ‘till the moment it’s gone
