While I was working on a rougher, heavier track, this song came to me during a quiet strumming session. Old Man Hold On evolved into a rock ballad with deep symbolic meaning. It’s a reflection on loss, love, and resilience, inspired by the moment my grandmother passed away and my grandfather was left alone. The song captures the weight of absence, the struggle to hold on, and the fragile beauty in memories that stay with us. Raw, emotional, and intimate, it’s a tribute to enduring through grief while finding strength in the simplest moments.


Old Man Hold On

[Verse 1]
Can't say if I'm lost in a dream,
Or if the morning light's just too keen.
Is it time, my love, to spread its wings and soar away?

[Verse 2]
She's gone, no chains on me now,
My heart, once hers, to the world I vow.
To the women whose paths cross mine, listen to my call.

[Chorus]
Now I'm free, love flows like a river,
My heart's open, love to deliver.

[Verse 3]
Blues in the night, guitar in my hand,
Singing my story, across the land.
Love's not just mine to keep, it's mine to give away.

[Verse 4]
Tears have dried, my eyes see clear,
To love again, I have no fear.
In every note I play, my heart's true song I'll convey.

[Chorus]
Now I'm free, love flows like a river,
My heart's open, love to deliver.

[Outro]
In the end, it's love that we choose,
Sharing my heart, I've got nothing to lose.
With every breath, I'm singing my blues away.
