Written in early January 2020, a basic vocal/acoustic guitar demo was sent from France to Scotland for the production of a backing track.
I completed the track by adding guitars and lead/backing vocals in my little studio in France on 24th February 2020.
My grateful thanks to my old friend and musical partner Drew Phillips in East Kilbride for his work on the backing track, it's been great to collaborate again after so many years.

lyrics

Holding On

Another cigarette, a glass of wine
Telling everyone you’re doing fine
You drag yourself across the line, falling
The world around you seems to make no sense
You’ve lost direction and your confidence
You hear your heartbeat and your self-defence calling
Holding on, just holding on
Awake throughout the night,
Sleepwalking through another day
Holding.

Love will find you it knows where to look
Your heart’s another unread book
Every chapter tells the time it took to know it
Whatever’s written down can still be changed
All conclusions can be rearranged
All you need is a brand new page to show it
Holding on, just holding on
Awake throughout the night,
Sleepwalking through another day
Holding on, just holding on
For someone who will give you a reason not to run away
Don’t run away

It doesn’t have to be a mystery
Everybody has a history
Everybody makes discoveries
But its alright
Everybody’s on the same journey
Everybody’s just like you and me
No-one likes to feel uncertainty
But its alright
It’s alright

What you’re hearing, what you’re listening to
Are all the things that come to frighten you
But not a single thing you hear is true
It’s just lying
And giving up is not the way to go
When you’ve learned everything you know
You were given wings so just let go
Start flying
Holding on, just holding on
Awake throughout the night,
Sleepwalking through another day
Holding on, just holding on
For someone who will give you a reason not to run away
Don’t run away
