I love this song Adam collaborated with Nika Costa. I listened to it on repeat on my iPhone when it got released. Songs always have different meanings to different people.
Oh Adam, you're just totally adorable & lovable goofe ball! And THAT VOICE! Wonder where would I be without my daily dose of your golden, mesmerizing and unsurpassed voice! Plus your charismatic, gorgeously sexy, shining persona... Loving you each & every day, Adam!
Let's discuss different interpretation of this song. I look forward to read @Lam-my, @JAK, and other great writers of this fansite. NO NEGATIVE PLEASE!
4:33 well, it depends what the lyrics are referring to. If it is about his artistic views, then I'm guilty of bitcing about it. I know how to withdraw though, because I don't like to fight.
@JAK is on hiatus due to all the negativity and I gathered it all seemed to be affecting her health. @JAK we miss you! I understand why you took leave, believe me, I get it it. I wish we could turn back time a couple of years on this site...
I think you will find a lot of old regulars are missing. That's why I said on a previous post to Admin something needs to be done or this site will be no more.
Idgi, there are more comments than ever and you want to close this site. Why so butthurt. When I came here over 3 years ago there were hardly any comments.
Adam should make an album called, "Songs that I could not use on my Trespassing album." I bet there is a treasure chest of Adam's fabulous vocals, and meaniful tunes. What I would give to hear them; This one is amazing!
Thank you 4:41 for your confidence and 4:25 for the very interesting video which is brand new to me. I knew vaguely Adam was doing something with Nikka, even commented on that but never followed up on it. This song is sending out a very strong message, not to give up the fight. In desperation people can identify with the...Hold On...plead or someone in dire straits, it might even save his/her life; because the constant...Hold On...sung with such great passion by Adam is pleading with the person to hold on and give it more time for the dust to settle and be in a stronger frame of mind to grapple the problem. It's not just referring to gay people but to everyone especially the down-trodden and bullied. Even to ordinary people making difficult decisions to stand back a bit before deciding on a point of no return. He could have sung that in his It Gets Better video because it gives strength and I'm not referring to gay people only. I've given such advice to some people and myself as well, at a crossroad situation, to give it more thought and patience, rather than do so on impulse to regret later; by which time it may be too late. And if holding on still doesn't bring about the desired outcome...at least I can say I had given it a helluva of a fight and that actually is the crux of the whole matter. As for the melody, on first hearing, may not have grabbed my attention but Adam's voice always does.
Love these videos but wish the lovely person who did the various clips video would redo it without the large lyrics all over Adam's beautiful face. NOT COMPLAINING, it is a great vid, but more of a request as I had never seen some of these videos. Thanks!
Have you noticed at the beginning of this song, he says I'm alone? Just hearing this right at the beginning rips my heart. Gives me lumps in my throat. He tells his side of the story to this 'you' who feels as an outcast but then he tells this 'you' that don't feel bad cause 'we' are on a mission to combat this 'they' who call us misfit. Adam as a counselor giving healing advise to an outcast.
This song should be a theme song of a movie or that Friend Movement org. should have used this song instead of Roar.
Second....I needed a break because a medical problem which has been plaguing me since June was SO PAINFUL and frustrating I couldn't handle that and getting pissed off here at the same time! I've peeked in every day or so to keep up on news and even tapped the keyboard a couple times (you know I have a hard time keeping my mouth shut). I scan threads and at the first sign of discord I scoot. So mostly I've scooted....a lot!
Third....in the midst of misdiagnoses (1st...TMJ and a few others, it now seems I have Trigeminal Neuralgia). Note....don't EVER get it....you want to rip your face off, jaw first! PAIN no narcotic helps! I've tried all. ............as I was saying...in the midst I was commissioned to decorate an apartment....given an limitless credit card and told to spend as much as I wanted, just make the place fabulous! That makes me forget the thoughts of jumping off the Sunshine Skyway Bridge....spending lots of money is therapeutic !
Fourth...if I live I'll be back....unless I decide to use the credit card and buy a palazzo in Venice on the Grand Canal.
Fifth....I couldn't improve on @ Lam-my's take on Hold On.......but I agree with @ 8:57 about the music. It sounds like an anthem or march song for a "cause". Moral or political!! Signs and banners!! See ya!
JAK ill come back for a minute I so hope it gets better. Life sucks when your health goes in the dumper. My health is and was at risk here. I know about the pain meds. I hope you get relief. Bless you! Sue
8:57 I like your direct one-to-one interpretation...rather interesting use of pronouns...from I/Adam to you/person to we/including himself and fighting off they/haters...brilliant. Yea an anthem for a movement / movie like you say. Your interpretation is micro; mine macro/micro. So both angles covered; we make a good team. lwl! Thanks!
Hey JAK! Sorry you're going through pain...how on earth do you have inspiration to decorate an apartment when you're going through pain...goodness gracious. Perhaps distraction or spending money is therapeutic alright. Hey Thanks!
This is 8:57 pm....@JAK miss you greatly around here. I'll keep you in my prayers for speedy recovery. Indeed shopping is a great short-term healing remedy. But since you have unlimited spending offer, have a wonderful shopping time.
@Lam-my. Thanks! Always enjoy reading your comments. More please!
Talking about having Ad back. Yes I commented a few times and did not sign last couple days. I just was so tired of being called out and insulted. It gets old. But it's so hard for me to bare the awful things said about such a sweet man as Adam. They are so unfounded and ridiculous. It kills me to hear them so I fight the dreadful comments. But, I gonna try and stop that it is just futile. Adam will be fine. I just do not get what these people get out of it. Trying to bring down a talented, kind. Guy like Adam who would hurt no one. I get so mad and I just cannot stand the way he treated. I hope all of you do have his back. No one should be allowed to talk about him on this fan site like they do. It's better to have 5 positive posts than 500 crappy posts if you ask me. But who cares what I think. Ill let cooler heads prevail. Good night Sue
Sue It's okay...you're carrying quite a big health burden to say the least. I think you're very brave...still find time to come here and talk to us and say such positive things about Adam. Take little steps and recover soon. Regards to your beautiful baby grand-daughter.
Thanks Lam-my I crying a little. Just hurts me so bad to see him treated this way. He gentle but very strong I just do not get it. But I feel these people will get theirs in the end. If you know what I mean and Adam will finally get good things he deserves. Keep up the good work on here. My grand baby doing well. Good night again Sue!
Hi @JAK ... I wonder if Botox injections might help? You've talked of migraines before (not surprising if you are dealing with Trigeminal Neuralgia) and Botox has helped that condition so much it is now covered by insurance. The injections are all over the forward and scalp, including the large muscles connecting the jaw to the scalp. Worth a try if you haven't yet.
Such ever-present pain can be exhausting and depressing. It's good to read the UPLIFTING threads here to boost you spirits. And your sense of humor certainly boosts ours! Wishing you all the best. Take care!

p.s. re: The Video...
I guess I've never heard "Hold On" before. Like many comments here, I think the video is really good, and I like the lyrics displayed so I can understand everything being sung. Great song and message.
(But, 8:33 pm, I agree the lyrics could be a bit smaller - too much blocking of Adam! But then, we should just make our own videos if we have complaints. haha!)

Oh well, despite the convincing lyrics of the song, someone always comes between Adam and his lover.
This is a suitable song for Adommy.
I love this song Adam collaborated with Nika Costa. I listened to it on repeat on my iPhone when it got released. Songs always have different meanings to different people.

Love this part of this song's lyric:
If ignorance is bliss why they still bitchin
Haters eat our dust cause the winds gon blow
Good for the troll(s) calling us names
Let's discuss different interpretation of this song. I look forward to read @Lam-my, @JAK, and other great writers of this fansite. NO NEGATIVE PLEASE!
How did I miss Adam singing this song! Where has it been? BTW: Adam looks smokin hot!!!!!!!nancdruuu2
4:33 well, it depends what the lyrics are referring to. If it is about his artistic views, then I'm guilty of bitcing about it. I know how to withdraw though, because I don't like to fight.
This is an anthem song for those who are different and society puts them down. An anti-bullying anthem. Very nice!
Really always loved this song,too bad it didn't make it on his album.
Forcefields up against haters or bullies
Wasn't it Adam's present to us last year over the holidays?
@JAK is on hiatus due to all the negativity and I gathered it all seemed to be affecting her health.
@JAK we miss you! I understand why you took leave, believe me, I get it it. I wish we could turn back time a couple of years on this site...

this is a pretty good song it took me several listens before I thought so, good beat too. Love the Diva scenes on the video.
Daydreamin, don't you think JAK would be more upset if this site ceased to exist altogether?
Thank you 4:41 for your confidence and 4:25 for the very interesting video which is brand new to me. I knew vaguely Adam was doing something with Nikka, even commented on that but never followed up on it.
