about

'Hold' was written about COVID-19 and the impact that it's had on so many lives across the world. We consider ourselves lucky that we haven't dealt with the worst of it, but we’ve seen many that have. It was written about longing to touch those we love in a time when we can't, finding ways to adjust to our ‘new normal’, and finding the silver linings amidst all the pain.

As events unfolded in the summer of 2020, the song has taken on a new meaning for us. More than anything, it's about unity. The pandemic and the systemic racism and oppression in our country are two VERY different issues with very different causes, but they have both benefited and will continue to benefit from some of the same things - empathy, understanding, sacrifice, and above all, unity. There are so many people (Trump, racist police officers, every individual who doesn't stand with BLM) and forces trying to divide us, and this song is about coming together to fight against them all. It felt a bit strange to be releasing music at that moment, but this song was therapeutic for us to make - it helped us come to terms with a lot of our emotions around the pandemic and focus on some of the good. We sincerely hope that it can be therapeutic for others, in any way that is helpful. "We will make it through this"

lyrics

I need something I can hold
Take it back
When everything was different
It was always you
That made me feel at home
So I learned
To love you from a distance
Now you’re here
And I’ll never let you go

I need something I can hold
Just give me something I can hold

Silver lines
There’s solace in the sadness
Let me be your shelter
When there’s nowhere left to go
Spread some love
Cause anything can happen
There’s so much
That’s out of our control

I just need something I can hold
Just give me something I can hold

When all of our plans are forsaken
Just give me your hand and I’ll take it
Stay with me
We will make it through this
Make it through this

I know that our hearts are still aching
But open your arms and embrace it (But gimme your hand and I’ll take it)
Stay with me
We will make it through this
Make it through this
We will make

Make it through this
Make it through this

Make it through this
Make it through this

We will make it through this
Make it through this

I need something I can hold
Just give me something I can hold
I just need something I can hold
