MariaDennis - Hold On (Official Visualizer)

It goes without saying that Shelter In Place - A Future Classic Compilation arose from the current times and COVID-19 pandemic. As creatives now wonder about their future livelihoods, the compilation provides a group of rising stars a chance to exhibit their talents. Themes of restlessness, isolation, and hope permeate the seven films, which reflect the emotional impact of self isolation and the ways we can turn to artistic expression to escape them. Future Classic will be donating the first month of proceeds from the release to the Heartland Alliance which helps the most marginalized and vulnerable communities affected by the pandemic.

Lyrics:
There is a lot of stress are you feeling okay
I know you stuck at home and ya can’t get away
It’s hard to stay sane but we gotta be save
Let’s focus on today know we gonna be okay
Borders are closed what the politics
We gotto be smart about our Instagram clicks
Losses and tears, we anxious we fear
Yeah, but love is always here

Don’t know what’s to come but please don’t blue
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
All of us is down yet we will make it through
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
We gon fight this war war we will overcome
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Can’t hold us down yeah we already won
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

Hold on
Now hold on hold on
We gon be alright
Repeat 1x

The clock keeps ticking
Birds are singing
Blue skies, we keep on dreaming
All I wanna do is make alright
All I wanna do is make alright, yeah
Can’t pay the rent it’s hard to comprehend
Can’t concentrate call up on your friends
All I wanna do is make alright
All he wanna do is make it alright

It’s very important that we pamphlet and we project
New crisis has arise. Just read the headlines of your newspaper and you
can see the time and the season

Distance can’t hold us down
We have been down down before, down before
We always rise up again
Repeat 1x
