Galt Aureus - Hold On

We started this together, singing and harmonizing, and it blossomed into a global experience of unity and collaboration amidst the isolation. To me, it represents a point of light at the end of this long tunnel, and may it continue to be a message of hope whenever you need it.

Lyrics:

let you down in a deep hole
eyes drown like a dam broke
candle wick in the cold
lit wet while the wind blows

saw the ocean turning dark
fizzled out like a spark
seventeen with the broken past
swept to sea on a sinking raft

hold on
hold fast
hold on
this is gonna pass
that shadow's moving fast

they couldn't look you in the eye
it's like you were ticking time
everybody ran for cover then
talked about you in another tense

never really had a chance
medicating in advance
chinatown in a vacant lot
going down like an anchor drops

hold on
hold fast
hold on
this is gonna pass
nothing ever lasts

not 'til the hourglass breaks
not 'til you're buried in waves
not 'til the ferryman waits
not 'til you sparkle and fade
not 'til the darkness takes hold

hold fast
hold on
hold
this is gonna pass
just hold on.

Hey, I still come back to this video regulary.. I actually listened to this song a lot by now, like really a lot - it was my second most listened track on Spotify last year and I sure listen to a lot of music. I'm still absolutely stunned by the beautiful arrangement, the piano at the beginning makes my heart feel really heavy and I just associate so much with it. This song isn't even out one year and I feel like it has been with me my whole life. Every Verse, the Chorus and the Bridge, all of them give me a certain feeling of hope, doubt, loss and encouragement. I just feel how much love you put into this and I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for this outstanding masterpiece. Definitely by far my favorite release from last year and I'm sure this song will continue to accompany me for a long time.. I just wanted to tell you this, had this on my mind for quite a while.. Thank you and hold on! :)

Wondering why you don't have many more views. You're so talented, your music speaks to the heart and the lyrics of your songs are amazing. An Artist, truly. Thank you.

This been 2 years ago, I miss your music 💔

[strigoviro]

The timing for this beautiful song is PERFECT. Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts and talents, Saher!

[juanf.crespo]

It is very beautiful... I wish one of my favorite bands -Keane- made a cover of this song.

[fortyseventen]

Base-ing with your melody, using your deep voice techniques! Serendipitous entanglement, thanks 🖖🏼

[kathyjohnson]

Eyy you finished the song! Gorgeous :)

[hdgpapa]

This is your pass....
Nothing ever last!!!❤️❤️❤️

[virtari]

This sounded so familiar because of your previous videos where you used the "hold on" :)

[MANNY]

Saher! Hey, Wow... It's been a little while since your last song! This was excellent! Thank you!

By the way, if you are a singer you should check out V60, Saher Galt's vocal course. I've tried a bunch of vocal courses and his is the best by far. $60 and so worth it. I feel like I've made progress and I'm only 30 days in.
