This song can touch you deep. Kerry Livgren got his songs from a spiritual pipeline. He even admitted in an interview he didn't know where his songs came from.
"Hold On" is a single by the progressive rock band Kansas. It was the band's 13th single, eighth top 100 hit, and fifth top 40 hit, peaking at number 40.[2] The song was first released on the 1980 album Audio-Visions, which was the last album recorded with the original band before Steve Walsh left. The song was written by Kerry Livgren to try to convince his wife to convert to Christianity along with him, which proved successful and the couple have remained active in their faith ever since. It was further re-released on several compilation and live albums, including The Best of Kansas, The Kansas Boxed Set, The Ultimate Kansas, Sail On: The 30th Anniversary Collection, Live at the Whisky, and the CD/DVD combos of Device, Voice, Drum, Works in Progress, and There's Know Place Like Home. An orchestral version of the song appears on the album Always Never the Same, recorded with the London Symphony Orchestra.
Steve Walsh did not leave Kansas after this album. Livgren left the band to pursue Christian music. He returned for "Somewhere to Elsewhere" in 2000 and performed at the reunion concert as seen here. Walsh did not retire from Kansas until 2014 when his marvelous voice finally gave out.
This guys taught a whole generation and future generations to apreciate music. Tomorrow, Sep. 18th is Mr. Livgren birthday. Happy Birthday Maestro. God bless you!
Fuí admirador de otra banda con nombre de ciudad.. BOSTON,, pero no tenían la calidad en vivo que siempre ha tenido KANSAS. Una banda de rock subestimada
Kerry Livgren a complete song writing genius!
