    "Hold On" Lyrics:
    Hold on
    Hold on to yourself
    For this is gonna hurt like hell
    Hold on
    Hold on to yourself
    You know that only time will tell
    What is it in me that refuses to believe
    This isn't easier than the real thing
    My love
    You know that you're my best friend
    You know I'd do anything for you
    My love
    Let nothing come between us
    My love for you is strong and true
    Am I in heaven here or am i...
    At the crossroads I am standing
    So now you're sleeping peaceful
    I lie awake and pray
    That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
    See another day and we will praise it
    And love the light that brings a smile
    Across your face
    Oh God if you're out there won't you hear me
    I know that we've never talked before
    Oh God the man I love is leaving
    Won't you take him when he comes to your door
    Am I in heaven here or am I in hell
    At the crossroads I am standing
    So now you're sleeping peaceful
    I lie awake and pray
    That you'll be strong tomorrow and we'll
    See another day and we will praise it
    And love the light that brings a smile
    Across your face...
    Hold on
    Hold on to yourself
    For this is gonna hurt like hell

    I love the story behind this song...She was watching a documentory on this couple from canada. This woman found out her boyfriend was HIV+ and decided that she loved him enough that she would stay with him and fight it together...they got married and she watched him grow weaker everyday...till finally years later he died...and Sarah wrote this song out of the emotion the show gave her....

    This was one of the first songs I heard when I finally got into music again after my father's suicide. It made me re-live breaking the news to my 3 younger brothers. It moved me to tears and yet was comforting at the same time with the "we'll get through this" attitude. I haven't heard it in so long; it just made me tear up again listening to it here. Thanks for sharing :)

    Fumbling Towards Ecstasy is the album that introduced me to Sarah McLachlan and it remains one of my favourites. This song in particular strikes a chord. As I recall, Sarah wrote it for some friends of hers, the male in the couple was dying of AIDS. This was in the early days of the epidemic. Having lost so many friends myself, this song meant and still means a lot to me.

And still does. He would have have turned 36 this week 1/27/22. It was his heart. Not drugs or anything like that. He loved the Beatles and so many other bands. Played a mean bass!! I miss him so much. He just died June of 2021. It takes time.

      To each his own, but I think objectively, the live version's emphasis on folk guitar and pretty straight, slow tempo drum part give it a simpler feel that's easier to pull off live, although I have seen McLachlan and her band perform live with the kind of nuance and complexity that her studio recordings have.

    Pain comes in trying to grasp what was meant to be only experienced and shared for its given time.
    Like a false religion will have you search for God outside of you or through them:
    Many people also search outside of themselves for love,before forgiving themselves and others and looking deep within for what has always been..

      The Freedom Sessions version is an entirely different (piano version) performance.
      A "remix" is when you have the same basic performance mixed differently at the studio console , emphasizing different elements of the same performance or "take", and perhaps completely adding or subtracting other elements.
      Anyway, here's the Freedom Sessions performance
