Esther & Simon - Hold On 04:30
lyrics
buy track
Hold On Still day and night I lose my mind 'Bout the times we shared Those moments of bliss You shed a whole new light First time, plain sight Now there's nothing I can do Being paralyzed by pain Hold on, hear me We'll never be apart We'll never be apart Many moons passed Still it casts long shadows Some hurt that goes too deep It never really healed Those blissful moments are fading with time But the memories we made are imprinted in me Hold on, You´ll be Forever in my mind Forever in my heart We've been here before I try moving on But I cannot leave this shadow behind The bittersweet truth is There's no turning the odds The only way out Is the way through

about

Esther & Simon is a collaboration project between Esther Kay (www.instagram.com/piano_vagabond) and "The Trees like Torches" (Simon).
We met on a party and started playing music together. Esther on piano. Simon on acoustic guitar. Soon there were melodies and lyrics all floating together and a song evolved.
We were lucky to be jamming in Björn Weidauer's studio, with a beautiful grand piano, that could tell you lots of stories. We decided to record "Hold On" in a studio session at Tonstudio Weidauer.
Now we are excited to share this "baby" with you!

Please note that "Hold On" is not a full album, it's a Song coming with a bonus track in the digital album option.
Every download of the song will help us cover the costs of production and supporting further musical activity.
Thank you for supporting independent music!


With our song "Hold On" we invite you to come on a little musical journey with us.

It is a song about the dark and light moments of the past,
moments that can cast long shadows into the now.
Some painful, some blissful, imprinting traces in our minds.

"Hold On" reflects the process of letting go and what is left, when you lose someone, pondering about what love can demand of us.

How to move on from what seems to be holding us back, finding a way out of the dark, yet wondering what it is you can hold on to
