    And if they stare
    Just let them burn their eyes on you moving
    And if they shout
    Don't let it change a thing that you're doing
    Hold your head up, oh
    Hold your head up, oh
    Hold your head up, oh
    Hold your head high
    Hold your head up, oh
    Hold your head up, oh
    Hold your head up, oh
    Hold your head high

So many of my friends, nowadays, are cursed with some form of hearing loss--but I can still enjoy great music like Argent--anytime (as well as understand what any of my girlfriends are talking about, on the phone, too!

    One of the great underrated classic rock tunes of all time. Perfect guitar and keyboard tones, plus English vocals. Restrained guitar. Gorgeous and heavy hitting at the same time. Proves you don't have to crank a song up to get an emotional response. And that keyboard masterpiece in mid-song is unforgettable. And one of the first 6 minute rock hits on top 40 radio. At least in NYC.

    I remember hearing this song when I was about 8 or 9 years old
    My brother had a mixed cassette tape with various music artists
    " hold your head up" by argent was the second track on side one
    This is such a fantastic classic rock anthem 🙌 👏
    Released in late 1971/ early '72

    Any classic song can take us back to a time to a place. This takes me back to Hialeah Florida 1972 as I look back at it life was a lot simpler and people genuinely cared for one another.

    Music is art. As such ... it's sometimes interpreted to mean different things depending upon one's point of view. I think you really had to be there growing up in the summer of "72" to be able to relate. It was a magical time to be coming of age after Woodstock and the hippie generation of the 60's. " Hold your head up , hold your head high " could have been an anthem for the next generation of youngers coming up through. There were good times and bad times but we sure had fun and pushed the boundaries. Happy New Year 2024 everyone.

    I never cared about this song but time changes everything. It's funny how time changes everything. I guess I'm relating because I'm literally trying to hold my head up right now. I feel oppressed and this is helping, that bass line is awesome.

    Growning up in the 1970s I lived across the lake from Chicago in SW Mich (Dowagiac) At the time WLS out of Chicago was the station we listened to. If you wanted to listen to rock music that was the station. All of my friends /neighborhood kids would congregate at my neighbors pool and I remember this song playing . It really brings back fond memories.

    This was my Mom's ANTHEM! She'd pop a tape into the RCA Mark-8 miniplayer she kept in the kitchen and jam while she prepared dinner for her husband and seven children. We were generally banned from the kitchen during meal prep, but as the middle child I was bestowed the role of "little helper" and her music is forever etched into my DNA. "You listen to this, Donovan! Listen closely. It's not just random words, it has meaning. It goes for anyone, not just women." I like to think she played this for me because, unlike my siblings, I was very shy and withdrawn and she sought to use my love of pop and rock music to bolster my self confidence. For whatever reason, it became the song I most closely relate to my relationship with the greatest Mom a little boy could ask for.

    It's funny, my mom and dad used to listen to the classic rock station 96.k rock in Florida every weekend all weekend and I heard all these great bands and songs but didn't appreciate how good it was till I was in my late 20s. I'm 40 now and I find myself taken back to my childhood livingroom every time I hear this. God to go back for just one day......
