I'm back with another video with the amazing Scott Alan but this time I have the incredible honor of singing with my dear friend and "This is Us" star, Chrissy Metz. "Anything Worth Holding On To" is an incredibly moving song that Scott wrote about his struggles with mental health and suicide. In the studio, we really delved into that and the results left us raw and in literal tears. Chrissy, Scott, and I hope you enjoy our new rendition of "Anything Worth Holding On To".

“Anything Worth Holding On To”
Lately it seems, I've lost inspiration
It feels like it's miles away
I sleep through the day
And cry through the night time
I'm caught in an empty space
Takes effort to find
I don't have the strength
I'm holding on to what's still left of me
When the life you had planned
Slowly slips through your hands
When it feels like you just slept through all the best years of you're life
When you can't find your way
When each day ends the same
When you've lost the fight inside of you
Is there anything worth holding on to
It's hard to be strong
When weakness is stronger
I'm a prisoner in my own skin
I'm not good on my own
I need to be cared for
Someone to help these days begin
There are dreams I've let die
That I just pushed aside
I need to find out how to turn this dark back into light
When the warmth disappears
When it's been one of those years
When you're running from the truth because well
your scared of what you might find
When your heart's beyond repair
When you wake and no ones there
When your home consists of only you
Is there anything worth holding on to
Maybe tomorrow my heart will reawaken
And I can find what I've been searching for
But today I'm tired and I'm running out of strength
All I know is I can't live like this anymore
When you're so far from home
When you've lost all signs of hope
When you're searching for salvation
But it feels so far away
When the words have disappear
And the melody's unclear
When there's nothing left inside of you
Is there anything worth holding on to
Cause I will still be holding on, to anything worth holding on to
Hey everyone, I'm SO EXCITED to share this with you all today! Let me know what you think!!
Matt Bloyd ❤️ beautiful
Matt I love your singing🎶 but I just question one thing why are all your songs sad or slowed down. I would like it if in the near future you could do some happier songs. But nonetheless beautiful as always. Your voice is just heaven you never seize to amaze me with your singing.🙂😌😊🎶
Its like angels singing ❤️❤️
Every song you make is like music to my ears.. you are a beast Matt. Hope you have the best success in life.
I was in such a cheery mood... now I'm in tears. Maybe the lyrics struck a cord with me as a single guy noticing I'm slowly becoming despondent towards love, but damn this was beautiful.
when you're happy
you enjoy music
but when you're sad
you understand the lyrics
So true
Well said
Amen
Damn that’s so deep and true!
Indeed, I have songs that I go to so I let out my held in hurt. I call it my music purge but it helps. This is one of my purge songs.
When I heard this I sat in my car and sobbed from the depths of my heart. This describes EXACTLY how absolutely broken, lost and alone I felt for so long after my divorce. It truly feels like there’s nothing left to even hope for. Thank God I did hold on (by a frayed thread) to finally feel the relief of taking a full breath. There is ALWAYS hope!!!
I feel you Alicia. This song depicts all the emotions of loss. Of feeling worthless. Hopeless. Lost. Prayers lady. Keep the faith.
It was His frayed edges you were holding onto. It's what I'm holding onto.
Hope you are in a better place. I find myself there today !
I’m in my car doing the exact same thing. I’m still hanging on to a, “frayed thread,” as you put it. I feel like I’m drowning in a sea of mixed signals, mixed emotions and I don’t know whether to hang on or let go. Either way... I’m still drowning. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Everytime I listen to this song
I find more hope
Such a beautiful song
Hope you still have Hope
In November of 2020, I lost my husband of 33+ years to cancer. This song has been my anthem since. I still sleep through the days and cry through the nights. My home, once filled with love, laughter, children, and hope, is now mine alone. Just me and the ghosts of my past. My kids and grandkids are busy with their own lives and I am here with my 2 old dogs. Thank God for them. Now, I just wait. Next will be my turn to join those gone before me. I think sometimes, going last is a punishment. Never take those around you for granted. Each day is special in it's own way. Don't wait for special moments. Find special moments in your time waiting. ❤
Very well said! I can’t agree more. Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️
I’m having a moment stories is so similar to mine. He was a love of my life 35 years and I lost him to Alzheimer’s when I lost him a pardon me his lost I’m not myself, and I tried turn the page because that’s what he would want. Then it is painful to be the last I also have a grand dog 14 years old and I love him to death. Well, not to death. I love him with all my heart. When it comes to losing love ones for me sad. I have his ashes his remains and I felt the need to hold onto the urn, open the lid and touch smell. Two days ago I did the same thing. I told him please give me a sign to let me know that it’s real. Later that day just like 15 minutes into asleep and a vision of him in my dream, and he says to me, my beautiful Nancy. It blew me away every morning he would say to me good morning beautiful . Be strong stay strong and listen to this song over and over and over again music matters. My husband was a Latin jazz musician he was say this all the time and so when he was ill, nothing but music for my man. Thank you for sharing. I’m not the only one. God Speed.
I apologize did not proofread it, but I’m pretty sure if what we feel. You know where I’m coming from. Thank you once again.
I am sorry to hear about your loss. I loss my big brother to cancer this past November he was everything to me. And after that in February I got attacked by my own family and liked to have died from it. You stay strong and I will be praying for you.
@suevick637 life is tough. Sorry for your loss, may you find peace and joy for the rest of your days here on earth. God bless you 🙏
I found this by accident....I LOVE it when that happens, especially when it turns out to be an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SONG, with INCREDIBLE HARMONY. I'm 70, & never heard of y'all, but I'll be listening now. I cried like others. The words are so true. I'm a FIRM believer in LIVING THRU THE HARD TIMES, NO MATTER HOW ROUGH, GOD WILL HELP YOU GET THROUGH IT....just TRUST HIM. Imagine what you would miss.... & there's A LOT. SO, YOU must FIGHT TO LIVE EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! You MUST find one tiny thing to hold on to...I don't care if it's your favorite soda, ice cream, saving turtles or imagining how your dearest relative who loved you so much & is in heaven now, would be heartbroken to know you gave up on YOUR LIFE. Hold on to your favorite song or something that actually brought you happiness at some point in your life. U see, my days are numbered now. I might have a few yrs & I might not. It's slowly eating at me every single day, because I have a million things, I still want to accomplish but don't have the $$$ or am not well (healthy) enough to do some of them. Still, I'm FIGHTING TO THE VERY END TO KEEP GOING and praying daily God will bless me with many more yrs despite the pain I will have to endure 24 hrs each day, 7 days a week. It's harder than u can imagine. But, it's all worth it to see a child smile, to hear my grandson & daughter's voices ...they live 1500 miles from me. I miss their hugs so very much. It's worth it to find a beautiful song like this one. So, NO MATTER WHAT, YOU SEARCH (and don't stop) until you find the one person or thing (even a pet) that makes you smile & brings joy into your life. MOST IMPORTANTLY, get rid of ALL THE TOXIC PEOPLE & things that bring you down, or are negative. Walk away quickly holding your head high because you're the better person. You want to be around positive, happy people. You may find it hard, but it's so worth it once you get past worrying about what 'the negative ones think'. You only need to be concerned about your health and peace of mind. If you ever need someone to talk to, reply to me here and I'll find a way to communicate and listen. I'm a 24/7 listener & friend/helper to ANYONE...friends, family (if they really care about me) & strangers. You see not all family members do and it's heartbreaking, but you'll get through that too. It doesn't matter if you're a stranger. I'd rather be a listener to someone I don't know, than to hear a person gave up because no one cared, or they thought there was no solution. There's ALWAYS a solution &....I CARE. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE, WARM & HEALTHY. Bluebird :)
Wow
Just wow!
Very seldom is one lucky enough to cross paths with a good soul. You are a blessing to reach out to others.
The world needs more bluebirds ❤️
Wow you made me cry by your words and your love for people God bless you I would love to get to know you better and talk to you often your family is certainly blessed to have you ❤
God bless you always, Bluebird! You’re a very kind soul. Xxx
So beautiful, your words so true & I could not stop crying reading them, such a beautiful kind soul xx thankyou
Bluebird? Are you there? I sure do hope that this reaches you properly becuase I feel its right that you hear even if it is from a total stranger, what a kind and generous soul you have. There is so much cruelty and meanness out there in the world today unfortunately, and reading your review brought me hope. Hope that there are more selfless people in the world, such as yourself! It was so nice reading your review and all of the kind, generous things that you had to say. I do not know you, we've never met, nor have we ever spoken. It seems however just from the words that were left for others to read, that you are lonely. I just wanted to say to you as you have to everybody out there.... you also have someone that YOU can talk to who will listen. HI! My name is Shelley and its such a pleasure to reach out to you! I hope this finds you well and I hope you truly know that your beautiful soul is appreciated (and well needed in this world).
Thank you for spreading hope.
Just a stranger,
Shelley from California
"I've been laying in bed for 4 days now, I honestly don't know how am even writing this atm, cuz I have been suffering in here, I honestly am just so damn weak to the bone that I can barely hold my head up anymore. But...... I thought of this song and felt the NEED to hear it right now... glad I did. Cuz now I know I'm not "COMPLETELY" GONE'""" I still have tears 😭 😢 can someone please pray for me and my family. Thank-you and goldbless
You’re not alone 💫
I know this is late but I love and God loves you
God bless your not alone hugs to you
Prayed for you and your family! Remember Jesus loves you. Pray to him to help you as only He can!
🙏🙏💖
This song! For those of you who dont know this is what depression feels like. Every. Single. Day.
Thank you so much for this!
Wow!
Absolutely!
EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.
Yesss.
I
Depression is real. To those you have been lucky and not experience it, do not dismiss your friends that do experience it. Every time I listen to this beautiful song, I ask myself the question, "Is there anything worth holding on to for me?" And every time, I answer yes, and I choose one thing and I thank God for that one thing that I have to live for. God gives me strength again to move forward. Chrissy and Matt, Thank you for this absolutely beautiful song. The words make me look deep inside of myself. Both of you have absolutely beautiful voices.
Hello Karin, how are you doing today?
@@austinhartman819gmail.9 How you both are, I am praying for you. Hurting here too, but I know I am loved by the heavenly father.
Karin have just come across this beautiful song, I often ask myself do I have anything to hold on and the answer is yes I have my son and hubby and god as he has got me through a lot of sadness and heartache
Depression is very common especially this time of pandemic. Prayers and music is very effect to used to make us healing.
I know that there's no human that hasn't experienced depression. Each of us to our own degree. One of my sons decided to hang himself a few years ago. I could not have even begun to imagine his despair until I lost him...and my other children fell into despair at his loss. How, in the world, can anyone fix this? I couldn't fix it. And for a brief moment, I fell into it, too. But there is hope and time. While we never forget, we hopefully, and prayerfully muddle through it.
It’s crazy how singing about the weakest and darkest parts of the human experience is SO strengthening and enlightening. ❤❤❤❤
This song reminds me of my ex husband that he couldn't add mit he had behaviour issues and found himself alone and then went in the palliative care as had lots of health issues and we are left with nothing 😢 so sad
Sorry you didn't get out in time.
Because you find out you had people going through the same thing as you, so you're not as alone as you thought.
I totally Agree
Your comment! That's it! Impressive!? Isn't it? It make me feels better instead worse.
When you suffer with depression and anxiety, it's hard not to cry listening this. I would listen to this when i feel alone.
Amen sister!
Right there with you
So true❤❤❤🙏
We are NEVER alone sister!! ❤️😇💋
So true, it is very hard not too.....
“I’m a prisoner In my own skin” I felt that
YOU ARE SET FREE!
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Me too
I'm gay nobody knows and I can't tell anyone I'm alone
That's how I feel. The being heavy is something I have been fighting with all my life. Having thyroid isdue doesn't help either.
James Idoni well you told us. And it’s ok.
I suffer from depression. And this song just hit me. It’s like it’s speaking what my heart can’t. It’s absolutely beautiful.
Humongous hugs from someone who’s heart speaks the same language… ;
Please read my book Jamie, I wrote it & poured my soul into it for you ❤ I suffered with serious depression for years. My book will be your saving grace I promise you ❤️
Ánimos, un gran abrazo, no estás solo!!
Jesus can take your cares away.
ABSOLUTELY!
Whenever this happens, the Lord reminds me He's there❤️😭😭
Wow...As a 40 yr old woman with an unforgiving and very wicked, debilitating neurological disorder that I’ve fought all my life, with the last 21 years being the most torturous, more than half of my life...I felt as though these lyrics came straight from my heart. I am deeply blessed and have so much in my life that is “worth hanging onto”. But, in the silence, while the world is sleeping, sometimes I lose heart. My façade, even that which I wear to fool *myself*, starts crumbling. Even surrounded by those who love me, it’s possible and common for me to feel alone. There is deep isolation that inherently occurs as a result of enduring something so foreign to those around me. As I 💯 genuinely rejoice with others, that isolation is, inevitably, fortified from watching them reach their dreams and thrive. My faith and my family are the reason I press on and am willing to continue to experience this living hell, to put it mildly, to learn, to grow, to love, to give...even when I don’t feel as though I have anything left to give, at times. This song is REAL. Stripped down reality of moments in every person’s life, in each of our “stories”. Thank you for this piece! Expertly sung, expertly presented with emotion that lays bare the brokenness, the struggle, the losses, and sacrifices. Thank you for giving a voice to what it is to hit rock bottom, even to live there for a time. Songs like this tell us we aren’t the only one who walk this path. It gives the listener the permission to not be perfect, to let go of the need to always be strong....and in doing so, proclaiming the quiet victory of choosing life.
Laura Marie your struggle sounds familiar to me. All i feel i wanna say is keep pushing. Dont give in to the dark. We have some important work just on the other side of this darkness. The battle we are fighting, it is real. That we continue to stand when most others would of given up by now is a testament of strength & courage to some looking in upon struggle. We dont know the reason why now but i believe at some point it will all be revealed what was going on behind the scenes. And it will have produced something beautiful.
Thats why i myself keep pushing up and out. Against all these things that tell me i wont. That tell me to just give in already....im not. I hope you dont either.
Keep pushing up.
Laura Marie I am sending up a prayer for you, for strength. I admire you. I am proud of you. Your comments brought to mind my oldest and best friend, my maid of honor, whose life took a different path when she was diagnosed at 19 with lupus. When she had to leave college early and go home, when she became increasingly homebound, I think the rest of us couldn’t comprehend the levels of her struggle, and the depth of her determination and spirit. She is my model and my angel. I know its her who waits, first, for me.
Ditto sis... sadly I can say ditto. I feel you. You’re not alone....
You just expressed the pain in my heart. I feel I'm watching everyone get what they want, live their dreams, and here I am struggling just to get through a day. Nothing comes at all, and if it does, it sure as heck doesn't come easy. I'm tired. ♥
Well said...
To everyone suffering from depression, don't give up... The world needs you and love you!! You are STRONG, you are POWERFUL, you are AMAZING!! YOU will get through this storm!! #LOVE
Thank you!
Im 52 and think ive been battling since i was born. I have nothing left
I just heard this song couple weeks ago!! I play it everyday!! Depression is real. I spent my life raising my children alone and caring for my mother who was hit by drunk driver. Children grown and mother passed 2 yrs ago after living 36 yrs after accident! Thank you both for saying everything i feel!!Hoping to find the light!!💖
God bless you!! You will find a great light!!!🙏🤗💝💫
You have honored your mother as one of the 10 commandments and you will be truly blessed,your children will honor you as well by your example of taking care of them and their gramma ♥️🤙🏾
@@dreamer5468 Thank you!💙
@@dk-zn5fl Thank you! 💙
You will, little by little, one day at a time. Rooting for you.
Lately it seems
I've lost inspiration
It feels like it's miles away
I sleep through the day
Cry through the night time
Caught in an empty space
It takes effort to fight
I don't have the strength
I'm holding on to what's still left of me
When the life you had planned
Slowly slips through your hands
When it feels like you just slept through all
The best years of your life
When you can't find your way
When each day is the same
When you've lost the fight inside of you
Is there anything worth holding on to?
It's hard to be strong
When weakness is stronger
I'm a prisoner in my own skin
I'm not good on my own
I need to be cared for
Someone to help these days begin
There are dreams I've let die
That I just pushed aside
I need to find out how to turn this dark back into light
When the warmth disappears
When it's been one of those years
When you're running from the truth because your scared of what you might find
When your heart's beyond repair
When you wake and no ones there
When your home consists of only you
Is there anything worth holding on to
Maybe tomorrow my heart will reawaken
And I can find what I've been searching for
But today I'm tired and I'm running out of strength
All I know is I can't live like this anymore
When you're so far from home
When you've lost all signs of hope
When you're searching for salvation
But it feels so far away
When the words have disappear
And the melody's unclear
When there's nothing left inside of you
Is there anything worth holding on to
Cause I will still be holding on, to anything worth holding on to
Love this
Yes there is. It called Jesus. He won't give up on you and me. Never. Focus on Him not our pain or our suffering. If we lose focus, we die (This is how suicide comes across our mind) Do not lose focus. You are not alone and not the only one who suffering whatever is you are struggling in now. Focus to God. Focus. If we lose focus, we die.
“BUT GOD!” He loves you so much and He is always with you. ♥️
Omg you guys are absolutely incredible
Meikuk Woh thank you..🇨🇦💞👍
I lost my baby this past week,
this song really hit me hard, beautiful. The words & how they're sung is gorgeous...
Edit: thank you all for your kind words last year... I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl 3 weeks ago. Shes my rainbow baby 💕
I'm sorry for your loss.
Im so so sorry for your loss xx
Songs like these help when others want to tell you they are sorry for your loss but they feel so inadequate in giving sympathy. I really am sorry for your loss...😳❤
@@jbell9179 Agree.
Very sorry to hear.
Sending positive vibes of strength and love your way.🌸
Prayers and hugs your way I know that loss all to well.. so sorry for your loss
I know she is an actor, but honestly she is an amazing singer. She could really make it with that voice.
I don't watch This Is Us (don't know if she sings on there) but her voice is FIRE!
@@Evega214 she sang a few times
She has an album.
To all the people feeling hopeless, I pray for the healing of your precious souls.🙏🏽💙
This is how you tell someone you are slowly dying inside.
And my experience has been that they don't hear.
I stepped out the shower and reached over to grab my towel and I stood still the moment this song started. As if I froze and couldn't move. Tears started flowing through my cheeks. I've been struggling with severe depression, PTSD, anxiety, insomnia, and PTSD for the past few years and my oh my! Has it been a B**** of a rollercoaster ride the whole time since it all began. Cried throughout the whole song you two have such angelic voices! It's amazing how 2 individuals could bring LIFE to a song just by giving it their heart and their all. This is ridiculously BEAUTIFUL. I'm in AWE! I love it thank you for sharing this!!
You are so brave, Vanessa. Sending love and prayers your way - you're not alone ❤️
I totally agree. This song is so powerful.
Be strong- and I pray you’ll find the fight because there is something worth holding onto - and that is you!!
Trust in God honey! He will mend your fears and anxiety! Prayers for you in Jesus name!
Love you in Christ. Hold onto Him
This song really hits me on point. During my last marriage I felt so empty most of the time. I lost the sparkle in my eyes. I started to lose my soul and identity. You can't make someone love you. You can't make someone be more affectionate. I put my whole heart into a one sided marriage and got hurt so bad. I was broken and when he left damaged. I did not want to hold onto life anymore.
I know where you're coming from..I'm sorry
I know you will find the right one.
Sorry for you, i hope you found one day the true love 🙂
@@trenabennett7088 My world revolved around him. He walked away with out a regret or a look back. I feel that I have healed and BAM. He is in my dreams and I think about him all the time. I do hope he has found happiness. Even though its not with me. I died in Nov. 2018 my lungs gave out due to septic shock. He was my emergency contact. They called him and he said " He is not my problem anymore as I was hooked up to machines to breath. Hmm still love him and don't hate him.
@@carlosaddatu6921 Thanks Love!
When my life crumbled after my divorce, I wasn't sure how to move forward as I felt completely shattered. I decided to work on myself with a force only God could provide. I did the work and hope returned. Now I have a man that hangs on my every word and deeply loves me and shows me he sees my worth. Hold on. It gets better 💝
I hope you have a happy life together for many decades
Whenever my heart breaks. Whenever my soul bleeds. I sing this song to myself. Such a beautiful way to explain the mind of a tortured spirit.
God bless you 🙏🏽❤🙌
So true 🙏🏻
Your words were amazing and what I needed to hear- thanks. I wish you peace and joy but most of all love.
@@sharonbaulch thank you. Nothing helps me in life more than music. It helps me cope and work my way through trauma.
@@rebekahdevereaux2047 They say music soothes the savage beast my beast is depression which comes and goes- music makes me feel less alone. Thanks for replying.
For Those who are going through hard times (depression, anxiety. ...)please don't give up on you!!..you are awesome, u can make it, try believe one more time, keep moving anyhow, if there is still a life there is still hope. Sending u hugs and hopes😍😍
🤗
Thank you Stranger❣ You saved my life❣
@VonPatt 💕💕💕💕
I feel like suicudal
What’s the point? Ya keep trying and trying, and for WHAT? To be left alone and broken and confused... Do you understand what it’s like to REALLY lose the fight inside of you? Or how hard it is to be strong when weakness is stronger? Or how it feels when you’re a prisoner in your own skin?? It leaves you HOPELESS. That word has deeper meaning than many realize....
OMGGGGG! Chrissy should be placed in jail for depriving us such a beautiful and powerful voice and Matt, you are amazzzzzZZZZING
Exactly! Well said 🤗
And if she wanted to be bailed out?
She'd just sing for us and boom, she's out😊
And if she wanted to be bailed out?
She'd just sing for us and boom, she's out😊
Why isn’t this the number one song in the US?!?!
Can't stop LISTENING to it, my Gosh
Wow, I thought I was alone but feel I have a family reading the comments. What an amazing song as if the lyrics have come out of my own mind ❤️❤️
When you wake and no one’s there.
Not only is this line so profound, she sang it so beautifully as well.
yessssss :(
Chrissy is an amazing inspiration as a singer, actress and human being.
I suffer from high anxiety and depression. While I listen to this song a shed a tear.
Oh my god that's my life, I just heard this for the first time right now. And I recognize the beautiful woman's voice. She's from my goodness. This is us or something like that. These 2. It's too oh I can't even explain, im crying, right now. It's ok to cry...sorry I don't even know what im about,and im 60😢. This song hit me. It made me think so. Thank you so much.❤.
Remember: This too, shall pass. Learn to look for joy every moment, a hummingbird. Flower. A honey bee. Your cat pushing you to wake up. Finding something you were looking for 2 days later. Make this your mantra, my dear people: Everything if always working out for me. Repeat. Green lights. Parking spaces. New friends. Expect it and be grateful. A life of gratitude is a life full of joy.
Jim, Thank you! blessings ✨
How true and sweet!
Love it!
So true! Live for the moment every day!
Man I'm picking up what you're putting down!! Thank You for your Great Words of Encouragement for US ALL!!! :-)
I’m in tears 😭 streaming down my face, oh my heart. Hugs to all who are suffering with depression & more. 😢❤️😔😔
YOU AND CHRISSY SOUND AMAZING TOGETHER. SHE NEEDS MORE EXPOSURE. SHE HAS A WONDERFUL VOICE. OF COURSE YOU DO AS WELL, MATT. GREAT DUET!!!!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
I tell everyone “the task ahead of you is never as great as the power behind you “ in this recent picture I am a 20 yr survivor of MS. And 60 yrs old. I just got thru a divorce with my ex husband of 45 yrs. God never left my side . But I’m legally blind and permanently disabled. But I lost. I get nothing. But I’m the one who wins I got God. I was praying this morning for funds to buy all my meds I needed. My friend told me this” Anita instead of telling God about your huge problems and obstacles. Do this”Tell your problems and obstacles how huge your God is. My favorite verse in the Bible is”silver and gold I do not have. But what I do have I give to u freely. Now get up and walk. And that’s what I did. Glory to God
Our minds are amazing organs. Good luck to you in your recovery.
Remember God is always there to hold on to. Give all to him and his light will light the way.
I needed to hear that thanks so much JoElla Ogilvie
Amein!! He is Salvation!!
Remember not everyone is religious or believes in God. I do and I do not suffer from depression, thank heavens but my daughter does and she used to be so far from God but she has since found him. I am so happy for her.
If you are struggling with depression or anxiety, you've gotta listen to this song!
Thank you Matt and Chrissy... today I am tired and running out of strength..
🤗
🥰 you've officially found yourself stronger and wiser today than ever before. Your never alone.
Beautiful encouraging song ❣️
Well I have outlived friends , lovers and my Mother and Father and my only sister. I feel this song and loved it first time I heard these two sing it. I am hoping and praying for a lifelong companion for the rest of my life 65 in November .
This song brings tears to my eyes. Some days I feel like I’ve got nothing to hold onto. I lost my mother my brother and my two nephews to suicide, my dad to Alzheimer’s, two uncles to addiction, and a part of my heart left with them. But I try to search deep inside to find something to hold onto and that’s my children and my husband. They give me the strength to keep going and to know that life is worth living.
Praying for you!
May you soul find rest you are worth the fight hold on
Our Lord Jesus is the only hope! Life is nothing without him. He’s you’re creator and loves you
So sorry for your losses
Praying for you 💕
My sister sent me this song, say was how she felt being large lady. Now she passed away due covid and all i can do now is listen to this sing x
Be strong John, please. Big hugs to you. I’m sure she was a great lady and now smiling at you from the sky. Wishing you the happiest and blessed long life.
My God comfort you and your family.
so sorry for your loss. i lost my grandad to it and it is hard, not being able to have said a last goodbye...
I always like to think that, even though we cannot see them anymore, those we have lost over the years are stood right by your side, in spirit, through every high and every low you will experience.
Prayers
So sorry for your loss.
HOLY SHIT...SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL! Their voices, the lyrics, and the passion they put into this song.....gonna be honest....it hit me in my feels and actually brought me to tears...THATS AWESOME!😁😁😁
Same here , ohh man I cried pretty much hearing the all song it is so beautitful every Word and lyric☺️🥰
I love this song and I feel this way , I am 64 alone still hoping for a love of my life till the end
Me too!
This song reflects exactly what I feel within myself. You see, I'm extremely obese, and my weight keeps rising no matter what I do. The Doctors can't fine anything about why I'm gaining, and neither the Nutritionists, nor Dieticians. I feel so trapped, and I pray daily, hour by hour, and minute by minute. I can't hardly walk anymore, and the Doctors won't do any stomach surgeries, saying I'm too large. I feel myself sink deeper and deeper into a depression. My mind daily thinks of ways to try and battle this weight gain. But to no avail. I cry deep waves of anguishing cries. I pray out to God to help me! I journal, I attend Bible studies. I study the Bible daily. All I can do is give up, and let God take over. This song is exactly how I feel. There's nothing I can do, but try to live, and live the best that I can. I'm a singer to, and y'all have given me strength for another day to live my life to the fullest. And to keep on, keeping on. Your both a blesing to me, and I love this song. Thank you so very much for sharing, and Ms. Chrissy Metz, your a beautiful Lady. Praise God for your lovely voice. You have blessed me more than you know. You have helped me to be encouraged. Thank you so very much! Lord bless you both, and thank you all for allowing me to share. ((hugsz))
YOU are a beautiful SOUL, living in an imperfect body. We all are. You are not alone. And you are not your shell. YOU are what is inside. ❤
Korina Vermilya take care Korina. I know how you feel... when they sang “when you feel like you’ve slept trough the best years of your life” I crushed.... I’m also fighting this battle and it’s not easy, but the 2 things I’ve discovered is that it’s more emotional/trauma related than anything else and to get it right we need healing - through awareness, compassion, acceptance, understanding. We need to give in to love. If I may add please check out “dietdoctor.com” which is a great help for me. Start with the stories to see how others have overcome years of sugar addiction, etc. its not about diet, they actually teach about the toxic environment we have been put in with all the sugar and processed food. Additionally, read a book called “Return to love” by Marienne Williamson and ask for guidance and surrender it all to love for transformation. If you are already praying for the guidance and resolution...maybe my response is it... remember, that I’m not giving advice and making you do something, I simply share with compassion what is working for me, and it’s a big difference...why? Cause this way I support you in building your awareness, without taking your power from you. Please always be careful with “I know what will do the trick for you” - no, nobody but you know it. Take care (huggs)
Korina Vermilya girl, you are still beautiful. Trust me, all through my life I strived you be small. I had a husband who would tell me I was fat, yeah I weighted about 150 lbs all muscles. At one point I said enough, you don’t get to decide for me. Well I got rid of the husband and everybody who put me down. I’m not in my 60s. I look the way I do and if you don’t like it, it’s ok with me. I later learned that these people who tell you such things is because they are not happy. Put a smile on your face, get that I don’t give a shit attitude on you and go out and enjoy yourself. You can find people who will ,one you for who you are. I am your friend.
Korina Vermilya Look into Nutritional Facts.com Michael Greger or Forks over Knives. Sending you all my best .🙏
You are a survivor! You wear your heart on your sleeve thank you for sharing your challenges and showcasing your strength, will, and determination. Stay strong! Many prayers 🙏🏼 aloha from Hawaii🌺
This is the first time I have ever heard this song and I am in tears. This song is the most honest song I have ever heard expressing how difficult life is when you are dealing with an illness. Two years ago I was diagnosed with a serious progressive disease that has greatly impacted my life. I've had to give up many dreams and often am too tired to do anything. Like the song says "you feel like a prisoner in your own skin." This is too real. Thank you for making such a beautiful and honest song. Blessings.
I love Chrissy so much! I am so glad Matt did a song with her. She is beautiful and has a lovely voice. From interviews I've seen she is such a down to earth and sweet person. In my head we would be best friends. I hope I get to meet her one day!

Yesss girl I could totally be besties with Chrissy.
I'm crying all over this song. Jesus, thank you for being my Saviour. I'm holding onto you because I trust you with my life. I love You, Jesus 🕊❤️🙏🏽
My best friend and husband died 21 months ago and I can not express in words how much this song touches my heart. ~~
Thank you to the voices who possesses these heart touching sounds ~ ~ Thank you for the talent who put this together but most of All ~ ~ ~~ Thank You Precious and Holy Lord ~~ Who am I that you know my name? ~~ Who am I that you should love me so much! ~ ~ And who am I that you would die for me? ~ ~

@@briana6876 ~ Thank You so very much for your condolences. Seeing your remark touched my heart.
Holy sh**!! Chrissy, your voice deserves to be heard way more often. Girl, you sound absolutely fantastic here ♡♡♡♡ perfect lyrics. Love your work!!
Dornelas Dinh Chrissy Metz queen of fats
@@fairytalenewspaper, don't get it and certainly disapprove of the poor taste joke
Couldn't agree more! Wow! Chrissy sounds fabulous & the song is incredibly moving. Her weight has nothing to do with it. No FAT jokes please! 😡
SmashFan2012, Use the report button under the ellipses. Harassment and bullying and HATE has no home here. ✅ 👋🏼
@@adrianaavila8853 , thank you for the tip! I did just that.
Gosh, Chrissy's voice is so powerful! What a beautiful collaboration!

God is a healer , he'll be what ever we need him to be , and he will also use songs of Love like this to draw us to heal through him ...
God bless 🙏 all those that are hurting
Big fan of Matt but just have to say this this duet will go down as one of the best ever. Chrissy Metz is a gift from god. This duet, these two.......Flawless
Matt & Chrissy, I have shared this video with my husband and others to let them hear what I feel inside. I suffer from severe depression all my life. I got my heavenly father to hold on to. But it's a lonely life when you're this way. Thank you for expressing what I feel but can't say.
Their voices are so incredible next to each other. They were made to intwine on harmony together. Incredible! 🥺😢
It's truly amazing, the harmony is perfect
I deal with depression and anxiety and sometimes it feels like I'm alone in it and no one will understand but everytime I hear this song it helps me so much. Thank you.
♡
What a lovely powerful singing couple.
Matt and Chrissy’s vocals are stunning together.
I love this song.
Thank you Scott for writing such amazing, beautiful songs.
Very much so
OMG...what a stunning song! I was listening and when Chrissy started singing I had to look over to see where that beautiful voice was coming from!!! You are both amazing!!!
This. This. Phenomenal. I wish I'd had this song when my son died.
It's May 2022 and I just found this awesome singer! So glad I did!
You look amazing Regina.
You can add me via my cell number if you're interested communicating with me more.

This brought tears to my eyes. So many people suffering. There is a God that loves you. When everything and everyone is gone, God is holding on to you.
Anxiety, depression, guilt, not necessarily regret but more I wish I knew then what I know now... This song digs deep.
I'm a prisoner in my own skin. I felt that deep in my soul.
Only just listening to this song for the first time! Wow! I’m in tears. Feels like the words of my life 🤍
Battling depression and these words ring so true. I'm a prisoner in my own skin and I'm lost in the dark
К моему сожалению я не знаю английского языка, но я слышу ,вижу и чувствую насколько исполнители любят то что они делают.Такие эмоции невозможно подделать,так искренне , от души.Когда человек по - настоящему любит то чем он занимается, рано или поздно приходит вдохновение ,порождая шедевры, которые задевают самые потаённые струны нашей души , вызывая мурашки.Апплодирую стоя.👏👏👏👏👏
Holding onto myself.
I can’t even explain how much this song touches my soul. I am a prisoner in my own body and when I heard this song every single word resonated. I don’t even know how I hang on anymore...
Tracy Radford - I feel (felt) the same. It’s day by day. Songs like this help bc you know you’re not alone. God bless you! 🙏🏻
So beautiful it tore at my heart and made the tears flow. 😢😘
Tears...............
How many times I've said these words in some form or another. If I didn't have Jehovah and my family, I wouldn't have anything to hold on too. Thank you for this song. Even though I cry every time I hear it. The 2nd verse hits me so hard. Depression and being overweight has affected me my whole life. But the last line is true. I'm still gonna hold on with what little strength I have. Thank you again😢
Matt, I've known for a long time how amazing you are but Chrissy's voice was a revelation to me. Wow!! Thanks to you both and to Scott for this beautiful collaboration!!
This song is absolutely how I feel. Nothing could be as true
Stay strong,the perception and values of what our lives should be,Bare no testament to the reality for most.Its OK not to be OK, and share that pain.despite the darkness life can bring ,moments of beauty hide in the shadows.We just need to look.
@kevinwebb4046 Thank You so much, and if you knew my life story, I would imagine you would have more understanding of why I feel as I do. You know I have lived in a nightmare for so long, it's a struggle to reach out and thinking someone can help
You have a wonderful night, and I hope your 2023 is one of the best years you've experienced
I feel just like this to 🙏♥️
Bellissima canzone e bellissime voci...Bravissimi ❤
This song brought me to tears and made me think of someone very close to me. So many hurting people 😢. Beautiful vocals from you both. I felt it!
"Anything Worth Holding On To"
(originally by Scott Alan)
Lately it seems, I've lost inspiration
It feels like it's miles away
I sleep through the day
And cry through the night time
I'm caught in an empty space
Takes effort to find
I don't have the strength
I'm holding on to what's still left of me
When the life you had planned
Slowly slips through your hands
When it feels like you just slept through all the best years of you're life
When you can't find your way
When each day ends the same
When you've lost the fight inside of you
Is there anything worth holding on to
It's hard to be strong
When weakness is stronger
I'm a prisoner in my own skin
I'm not good on my own
I need to be careful
Someone to help these days begin
There are dreams I've let die
That I just pushed aside
I need to find out how to turn this dark back into light
When the warmth disappears
When it's been one of those years
When you're running from the truth because your scared of what you might find
When your heart's beyond repair
When you wake and no ones there
When your home consists of only you
Is there anything worth holding on to
Maybe tomorrow my heart will reawaken
And I can find what I've been searching for
But today I'm tired and I'm running out of strength
All I know is I can't live like this anymore
When you're so far from home
When you've lost all signs of hope
When you're searching for salvation
But it feels so far away
When the words have disappear
And the melody's unclear
When there's nothing left inside of you
Is there anything worth holding on to
Cause I will still be holding on, to anything worth holding on to
Icha Abigail tnx
On the first verse it should say, then I cry through then I cry through the nighttime.
I need to be careful needs to change to I need to be cared for.
And the last verse should be I will be holding on to everything worth holding on to. Otherwise, perfect.
That is some exquisite songwriting there. Great interpretation vocally by both of them. Wow.
Icha Abigail.
God bless you and give you peace in your broken heart 💓. Been there. Done that. It does get easier. Hugggs 🤗 and blessings to you.
Everything said here i have felt for 2 and half years and still feels sometimes... the writer presented it perfectly
😮😍 those voices !!!! Please 🙏 continue to sing ! This duo should be in a Disney !
The PIANO, the piano ..i am caught in an empty space. The lyrics, the.lyrics, when you have lost the fight in you. Duet to die for. Her voice is the kind of voice that is a beauty. Full of expression. Full of passion. Full of truth. Glorious. Marvelous. I am running out of strength. When you have lost all signs of hope. I want to sing this song
THIS IS STILL IN APRIL 2023 ONE OF MY GO TO SONGS! MATT IS AMAZING AND CRISTY IS BEAUTIFUL! I PRAY FOR ALL OF US IN THIS WORLD AS IT IS NOW! ❤🙏
This song broke me this morning. I don’t know how I came up with song. I felt like this song was made for me. I’ve been emotional lately. Trying to find myself. Feeling lost. Not happy with who is looking back into the mirror. Just feeling down lately. It’s hard to be strong is emotionally lately crying for any and everything. I’ve been holding my emotions for a while. Thank you for helping me with this song. It’s helping me heal 😢
When a song...a voice...can reach inside, and touch that part of you that's hidden away from everyone....that is THIS...and THIS...is ...magic.❤️❤️❤️
This my friends song he had cancer and he would love listening to it ❤luv ya pal❤
I'll say it.......I think Chrissy Metz is PERFECTION and I love the arrangement of this song as a duet
Back when I was a student about the time this video came out, I had a really bad day. I failed an exam, my professor told me that my grade average was in danger of falling, and and I couldn’t keep up with my work. Suddenly this song came up and I felt….EVERYTHING. By the time the chorus rolled around I just broke down in the school cafe, not caring if anyone saw me. By the end I finally a breath and felt deflated, but okay all the same. Someone then walked up and asked if I was okay and I said “I wasn’t but I think I will be now.” To anyone who reads this I just want to say “it’ll be okay, you can make it through, you can figure it out cause that’s what you were made to do” and whether you choose to believe it or not, you are loved and you are deserving of that love. 🫂❤
Beautiful especially now in these times of isolation. Hold on... we’ll get through this. Hug and love everyone
Stunning 😍😊
What a nice comment to the world. You have a beautiful soul. Peace my friend.💖
GINGER LONG. i agree with your conment you made about Huging and Loving everyone. its the most important thing any hunan can give is love and compassion. Then the world would be a much better place for all of us.
You’re a beautiful soul
sending.hug
I'm feeling this 😢 from the depths of my Soul.. All of the Therapy and Medication is helping but I am not truly living.. I am so grateful for each new day as it's a chance to feel Hope 🙏. I pray for Peace and Happiness again.. I pray for my grown children to find happiness and strength to be what God has planned for them 🙏 This song is me trying to keep going ... I'm so tired of this battle😢
How the hell do they know exactly how I feel everyday!!!! Tears are streeming down my face. I have been struggling with depression, anxiety and a multitude of medical condition that leaves me depending on medication just to live in this world. Thank you for sharing your talents, these words came from the soul, which may have just saved mine
As I’m suffering with anxiety and depression this song hits home so much. Thank you for a beautiful vocal performance. Here is to hope and prayers for us always have something to hold on to !
Hello 👋
How are you doing?
Amen
I've watched this video dozens of times. It is one of the most inspiring videos I have ever seen. Courage is a word that is seldom truly understood by many of us. But this video is the definition of courage for Chrissy Metz to give us this gift of bravery to work through her vulnerability to gift others the permission and hope to continue despite the odds and even from this darkest of places. It is a gift of the purest love. Thank you Chrissy and Matt. Your gift is inspiring so many to hold on. Bless you!
Wow I play this over an over again
I agree with your comments. The fact these two incredible voices came together is a gift and a thing of beauty . Admitting you are vulnerable means you are human and can still feel and care for others. Take care and be happy and stay healthy.💖
Tomorrow doesn't always come...pain can come in a heartbeat like you have never known before
So many in our world including me suffer with depression and anxiety. This is a beautiful song and it speaks truth. Let's all try to keep holding on in this crazy world ❤️❤️😇
@Tabitha Smith I usually skip the replies to the comments but yours is what I need. I've been upset with God for a few months now and I need to stop and go back to loving Him and live the life He's given me. Thank you! 🙏💜
Chrissy looks like she's about to cry during this video. You both have beautiful voices and harmonized in such a lovely sound.
As someone currently going through some things in my life on top of some mental illnesses. This song found me at the absolute perfect moment. Thank you so much for collaborating and creating this masterpiece that has obviously touched so many. You both are beautiful people.
Scott, you are an amazing songwriter and musician. The score was so intimately perfect. This is the reason why I love piano.
It's like you reached inside me and wrote my heart. Breathtaking.
Matt and Chrissy.. BEST.. and I MEAN "BEST" duo I've ever heard!!! On my favorites list... So awesome from both of you .. 💝💝💝💝. The Redhead . PLEASE do another ..
Your song reminds me of my sorely-missed mum who recently died of Covid. My mum left us too young, too abruptly, too soon. When I listen to your song, it brings tears to my eyes because I really miss her every day. I haven't got over it yet and I think I never will. My life is not the same any more without my mum. Since she passed away, I got into a deep depression and I can't get out of it. I feel empty inside since she left. I would like to have wings to join her high above, beyond the clouds and to be finally reunited again.
Omg first time hearing this and I sobbed you are singing about my life beautiful and sad all rolled into one song xxx
but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength; they will fly up on wings like eagles; they will run and not be tired; they will walk and not be weary.
Isaiah 40:31 CEB
This song is so perfect. Have 2 kinds cancer. Had treatment. Came back. So fighting it again. Sick all the time. Cry & fight it everyday. Worked very hard my whole life as nurse in intensive care. Wanted. Thought this would be my free time. But today I’m tired. Most have no idea.
I've probably already commented on this song, but this is the song that I dedicated to my daughter while she was battling Anorexia. It will be always be a song close to my heart ❤️ ❤❤
Oh my Jesus. This song has just touched my heart so deeply.
wow this is absolutely stunning. what a beautiful composition
Thank you for the love!
Waw what an amazing voice you both have and what a beautiful song this is.. Blessings from the Netherlands
Your gift touched me deeply
I don't think the two of you realize what you do for people like me.. people who have given up on their dreams and feel lost
You both are an incredible blessing. Your voices speak to me as though from God himself 💞💝
I heard this song and made my cry. I was at a hotel, give myself some self care. I take care of my 93 year old father, who was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Dementia, after his first delusional episode. I lost my son in 2019and my mom, who I care for 4 years full time before she passed. I did not allow my self to cry over my, to be strong for my mom. I didn't cry over my mom, to be strong for my dad. I finally let it all out in the hotel by myself. Then this song came on. It put all my feelings into words. A beautiful song for my healing journey.
Thank you!!! I so need to hear this song. Many blessings to you both. ❤️
Sorry for grammar errors... Still gets me emotional
