Chorus:
And if they stare
Just let them burn their eyes on you moving
And if they shout
Don't let it change a thing that you're doing
Hold your head up, oh
Hold your head up, oh
Hold your head up, oh
Hold your head high
Hold your head up, oh
Hold your head up, oh
Hold your head up, oh
Hold your head high

Pray for Rod….he just suffered a stroke. Was touring with the Zombies till this 🙏

I'm 70 today and still holding my head high.. Rod Argent!!!
Happy Birthday- I’m 70 also….
Poor kids have ZERO music today

Thank you for your service.
@@tinamoon2785 thanks, TIna
Timeless
@@anthonycummins9558 it is indeed
Thank God for you, for your service to our country and on behalf of us all.
"And if they stare, just let them burn their eyes on you moving...." What great lyrics!
And if they stare, just let them burn their eyes on you moving ...
Not to mention great sound the psychedelic music.
Warning.
It's moonbeams
Heck yeah!
Rick Wakeman, the King of the Keyboards, rates Rod Argent's playing in this version as one of the best organ solos ever. Along with Russ Ballard's vocals, what's not to like here?
Rick Wakeman knows whereof he speaks...
Wakeman saying that means something big........
I thought that was Russ Ballard!! Wow cool
That would be hard to debate.
FAB!!!!👌
62 years old - when i was in high school a bunch of musician kids would jam every saturday night in Lloyd’s basement. Bob Malloy (RIP) played the organ, pushing back his long 1977 hair. The band played Argent. Tears in my eyes.
Our organist played a version of this at Mass. No one recognized it but me. The next Sunday we got some of Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky. We're an aged congregation, but went a little pentecostal for a few minutes.
nothin' wrong with being a little pentecostal . . .
That's pretty funny
Awesome
That's awesome 😎
Boy I wish we'd had those kind of tunes at St. Jane Frances de Chantal when I was a kid. Nope, just the usual Catholic themes of guilt and suffering...
This anthem of life NEVER grows old. Woke up, with it runnin' through my head again. Peace and Love to everyone.
So did I today! It was sorely needed, much appreciated 😊
Hold your head up no matter what life has in store always hold your head up and high especially in the world we live in
Preach
Of course I grew up listening to this type of music. When I hear young people today that have self esteem issues, maybe they could give this song a listen. To us, music was a big part of our lives.
So true! Grew up listening to these classics from the 60’s and 70’s!! Peace and love!!☮️✝️
AWESOME song, then now and forever!!!!
The best solo from a Hammond Organ ever...
So reminiscent of parts of Tarkus played by Keith Emerson!
That's a big thing to say. There are so many fantastic Hammond solos out there, but this is definitely one of the best.
@@jadams3427 Agreed...Of course
Grand Funk RR-Phoenix album
I so grooved to this jam when I was a kid......61, still groovin'! Luv this jam!!! Anyone, or everyone with me in 2021??? Everyone, Please STAY SAFE!!!! PEACE & LOVE!!!
NURSE!!!!
Ah yes, the plandemic.
Aren't the 60s great, such great songs ! May have been fueled by drugs but creativity off the charts ! Love instrumentals in this one ❤
I'm 62, and YES!!!!!😁
2021
One of the most encouraging rock songs ever! All the way from the 70s.
Beautiful Hammond organ playing!
I'm a heart failure and cancer victim, no matter what life throws at ya, hold your head high!
Bless us an you an keep us ALL😘🤩💪🙏🤑🆘🇬🇧🤫
Yes, indeed. Hold your head up, always!
well, luv since you're still with us you're a survivor, not a victim & more power to ya unless you're an asshole because if you are then, fuck you
You're not a victim , you're a survivor.
@@aar1978Amen🙏
Graduated 1970, love this song, love the keyboard. 70 years old, still a Woodstock person, always.
I graduated 1970. Dawning of the Age of Aquarius. I love this song. Always have.
It really was definitive music back then.
I graduated 1970 also. I remember this song well.
So am I, my friend--same age as you.
Damn, all you old Geezers still rocking ?
Well, I am and I’m just a youngster at 68!
We really did have the best music didn’t we??!!!
☠️😉☠️
I love this song. I found
myself playing this song in my head. I'm recovering from back surgery, and while walking one day this song just popped into my head. It's a great motivator.
I'm 69, a few months from 70 I loved this song when it came out and I still love it all these years later. Very uplifting. Another one I remember from that era- Bang a Gong by T-Rex- another song I love to this day!
Cool beans. I'm right with ya. Epic song
One of the best dance songs of the 70s also tree get it on
We need to hang out!!
69 😅
Yes! T-Rex! Bang a gong is on my current Playlist as well as Argent. Like minds, right?
No matter what you are going through hold your head up
High
Even when you are not popular.
Yep
Keep going and HOLD YOUR HEAD UP
@@karenbrandenberger517 NEVER give any enemy the satisfaction
This song got me through many hard times... stil does
glad to hear this... thank you, dear heart!
we need more songs like this, today especially!
Another one of those songs that after a million listens still sounds fresh as the first time.
Still as Awesome as it was when it was released...what an era !
back when music was made by actual musicians, and singers sang lyrics---instead of speaking ghetto-porn poetry.
The Hammond Keyboard was revolutionized. Thank You for posting.
THIS SONG SAYS A LOT!!!!!
I grew up with this song I'm -62 still a good song 😊
60
@@Polksalad615 45 here, but my parents taught me to love good music.
@@wingman0736 Of course!
One my first LPs still got and I'm 71
The hammond b3 organ reigns!!!!
This is one of the rock and roll classic songs if you don't agree you don't have a pulse 😅
This song is my dad's favorite...I can remember him putting this record on and us just jamming to many great times..and my dad can't even hear it...he's deaf..but he can most definitely feel it...we can be driving the road..and as long as it's loud enough & he can feel it among many other songs he'll kno what's playing from which record...he knows this song by heart..it always amazed me that he never could listen to it but feel the bass and beats ...this is his anthem and I'll probably play it for him at his funeral so that after he passes maybe he can finally hear what a great song this is..and how much his love for song has influence me to appreciate being able to hear music ....everytime I listen to songs I am so grateful to be able to hear ...never take your senses for granted...and always rock on my friends....🤟🤘😎🎸🥁🎧💿🎼🎵🎹🎛🎚🎙🔣🎺
deaf people can feel vibrations i had a close friend who was deaf i miss the hell out of her and a couple of people i know their mom is deaf and they are hearing but they communicate with sign language like i would speak to my mom in german
Same as me , I'm as deaf as the bed post and can only hear things on full volume, plus I'm older than your dad!
Yeah, I'm really blessed to have such good hearing, now, at 71, despite all of the rock concerts that I went to, in the early 1970's--for sure! So many of my friends, nowadays, are cursed with some form of hearing loss--but I can still enjoy great music like Argent--anytime (as well as understand what any of my girlfriends are talking about, on the phone, too! Ha ha ha ha ha...)
This great song came out one summer when I was about 14 and working with my father. We were remodeling an old farmhouse for an orthodontist and his wife. Wonderful days considering the days that are upon us now. Like the song states, we need to HOLD OUR HEADS UP! 💪🤠🇺🇸
Great song. From a time when I was surrounded by great music.
I'm 66 and still jamming to this song keep on rockin everybody
"Hold your head up - you don't owe anyone anything" is what my mother used to tell me when I was a kid, and that's the best advice she ever gave me. "Just let them burn their eyes out" - yeah !
I agree you don't owe anyone anything.....I say nobody pays my mortgage :)
Hold your head up hold your head up hold your head high
Get up. Get up
Celifagot->
Cops knew. But you didn’t video tape it
How well I remember driving around in the Summer of '72 with this classic blaring through the speakers!
Your best Rod, get well soon, and Hold Your Head Up.
Magnificent still to this day.....
An innovative song from an underrated band.
How many know this was the same Rod Argent who formed the Zombies wayyyyyyyy back when
I'm going to pray for Rod. I just found out. Loved this song growing up, but it means so much more now, in 2024!
Incredible song.
MAGNIFICENT MASTERPIECE from MASTER MUSICIANS, top of the line solid gold standard of excellence
Too many conflicting memories regarding this song flow through my boomer brain. Always did like this song and I can at least say listening to it made me stronger to face life adversities. Thank you Argent!
Boomer you're ok. Good song.
This group rocked.
This great healing classic got me over the hump after one too many awful school days. NEVER allow one or two EVIL jerks degrade you or get you down. NEVER. Let not your heart be troubled and…….HOLD YOUR HEAD UP!
Yesss
"Hold your head up. Hold your head high." This song definitely withstands the test of time. In fact today's music is much too simple to compete with this awesome hit. Tip- Play it loud for full effect.
This song comes a knocking every so often. And always at the right time. ✌️
I've had cancer, and chrones disease! 😊😊😊😊😊 This music is Heaven!
Hadn't heard this for ages .....a classic
Always... never to be forgotten xx
My mom was never into rock, she was into classical. BUT she taught me this lesson even before this song came out. Argent just reaffirmed the meaning of the lesson. Mother's memorial is this weekend, and I needed to be reminded of the lesson
😢
My heart goes out to you brother! May your dear Mother rest in peace, and God bless Her!
1972. I was 9. I remember this song playing over the intercom at our Community Pool. I'm 60 now and I just found out that Rod Argent suffered a Stroke. Get Well Soon Rod.❤
That's a great classic rock tune.
Absolute Class!. RIP Jim Rodford - the sound of my generation but so relevant to today!
Graduated high school in 73. Love this song.
Me too. (on both counts)
What an intro. Gives me the shiveries!
Yeah, the intro and all entire bass beat of this song is inspired by the bass used by Roger Waters in Interstellar Overdrive (since 4'20")
kyna matthewson “ It was fun to dance to. “
@@marianaalvdelce how about Doors - five to one??
Positive and encouraging tune.
Me too.
One of the great underrated classic rock tunes of all time. Perfect guitar and keyboard tones, plus English vocals. Restrained guitar. Gorgeous and heavy hitting at the same time. Proves you don't have to crank a song up to get an emotional response. And that keyboard masterpiece in mid-song is unforgettable. And one of the first 6 minute rock hits on top 40 radio. At least in NYC.
Rick Wakeman declared it the greatest Hammond solo in Rock.
This was not underrated.
Stop the insanity already. DAMN....
@@jefferyrichardson1348 was on the radio all the time, and enjoyed by many
@@brucegaylord1318 it carries a message for a lot of people also bro.
Great written song 360°
Rod Argent rules!!!!!
what a great song and a wonderful message.
after limited success with the zombies, rod argent, knew some thing about keeping pride and moving on. ❤
The Zombies Begin Here and Odyssey & Oracle are two of the greatest albums of all time.. I can't say I was there at the time (my mum was and she has NEVER heard of the Zombies) so you may be correct about limited commercial success! Unfortunately popular culture pushes all the rubbish to the front.
This was my Mom's ANTHEM! She'd pop a tape into the RCA Mark-8 miniplayer she kept in the kitchen and jam while she prepared dinner for her husband and seven children. We were generally banned from the kitchen during meal prep, but as the middle child I was bestowed the role of "little helper" and her music is forever etched into my DNA. "You listen to this, Donovan! Listen closely. It's not just random words, it has meaning. It goes for anyone, not just women." I like to think she played this for me because, unlike my siblings, I was very shy and withdrawn and she sought to use my love of pop and rock music to bolster my self confidence. For whatever reason, it became the song I most closely relate to my relationship with the greatest Mom a little boy could ask for.
Back in 1972 my grandpa was building an aqua park at the time and this was full-volume in the building site every morning and afternoon once or twice. Greetings from Italy!!!!!!!
Great song for now and you have a great memory to share about your Granddad.
awesome!..greetings from Japan (American)
Ciao da Trento
@@Burt472 Ciao da Padova =D
I love this song
I've been lucky enough to see this played live 3 times. Always magnificent
That's cool .
First time I ever heard this song, I was with my brother and a few friends, and I had my car parked on the creek bed with the radio on. Walking around with a brew when it first came on at the very start of it, it touched me in a way and had me hooked. I went right straight and bought it on cassette and finally found it on a cassette with other hits from that era. 😎 Memories man...
Absolute classic! Still holds up. AND it has some cowbell in there, as well!!!!! 😂
Another great English band thank you god for the English and their incredible bands .
Our music makes up for the terrible weather and cooking 😂
@@kayleighcollins-nagase2484 Good one.....
Exactly! ❤
30 years ago my youth was filled with so many problems, this song gave me solace, confidence. Such great lyrics, such a great song.
Yep. This song isn't really from my generation either but I've always like the song and the message a lot!
And always shall be nearly five whole decades after release
mine to for me to outlive my main abuser that started the abuse i went through i really thank God for and all my other abusers are dead too and i had confronted nearly everyone of them head on and I pray they all rot in hell
It’s an awesome song on all levels! Lyrics, instrumentation- love the guitar and the keyboards.
Back in the 70s, when I was the keyboardist for several back up bands in NJ. I attempted working out the keys with a worn out record for reference it was truly a masterpiece & Rick Wakeman also said so too. Too bad they only had one top5 hit.
Love this I rocked out to this song..at 61 I still am!
🙌🏻🙌🏻I call these the last days days before Satan gained total rule! As he LOST the War in Heaven, as above so below!! I thank & praise YEHOVA🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great group of the 70's , still formidable with their instrumental talents , Bravo .
Zombies live are so good...love Rod
No doubt. No complaints on this. Nada. Like it.
Still sounds brilliant after all these years, i was given the album Encore by a schoolfriend, played it to death, love this band.
This song has been going through my head a lot. When times are as bad as they are now hold your head up!
Any classic song can take us back to a time to a place. This takes me back to Hialeah Florida 1972 as I look back at it life was a lot simpler and people genuinely cared for one another.
I’m 27 Years Old And Just Starting To Listen To Older Rock Songs!!! There’s No More Good Rock Songs 🤟🎸 Anymore 😢 But I Love This Song 🎶 The Band Sounds A-Lot Like The Styx. I’m Sure People Will Say No Shit Sherlock But I’m Still Going To Appreciate This Beautiful Song 🤩😎
I remember hearing this song when I was about 8 or 9 years old
My brother had a mixed cassette tape with various music artists
" hold your head up" by argent was the second track on side one
This is such a fantastic classic rock anthem 🙌 👏
Released in late 1971/ early '72
Progressive Rock Masterpiece Hit 😊💖
This is timeless perfection. It's like every time I hear it, it's brand new. It's progressive, got a funky groove to it then the keyboards just take over. Just does not get old. Classic masterpiece, arrangement just so with timed breaks all at precise moments. A pick up moment at the right time.
I don't care where you are from, this is a kickass song!
Love this & their Circus album. Can't believe now 50 yrs old !
Brings back childhood memories.
I just LOVE this. Had it on a CD in my car years ago and blasted it out while screaming the lyrics down the motorway. Still gives me a big kick.
56 years old and I still love it. From here I'm going to wishbone ash blowing free. Yeh, a hippie isn't just for Christmas it's for life. My hippie is looking a bit worn out 😁✌️💜
nothing recorded today comes close this this masterpiece !
Yeah, truly...and to so many other great works from 1967-1973, as well, my friend!
This is why I listen to you and satellite radio. Classic Rock
Very first 45 I ever bought. Awesome band. I L❤️VE Argent.
Blowing the roofs off!
Great song!
A very special childhood friend held me and played this song for me when my mom died, ironically when he passed away a few years later I remember holding him in my arms as he passed, I remember him looking me in the eyes telling me “hold your head up”
I recorded this from AM radio onto a cheap cassette. Yet somehow, the magic still came through. Hold your head up........
The anthem of Self Esteem
This is like a Native American chant for WARRIORS!
I commented this song to all the Souls having problems in their lives. For you J Man.
I was alive to enjoy this when it came out! ❤
Awesome song by Argent
Music is art. As such ... it's sometimes interpreted to mean different things depending upon one's point of view. I think you really had to be there growing up in the summer of "72" to be able to relate. It was a magical time to be coming of age after Woodstock and the hippie generation of the 60's. " Hold your head up , hold your head high " could have been an anthem for the next generation of youngers coming up through. There were good times and bad times but we sure had fun and pushed the boundaries. Happy New Year 2024 everyone.
True and well said
Classic! Those who would have liberty over servitude, click it. One can be humble yet still Hold Your Head Up
Pure classic rock personified. I was 12 years old when I heard that song on the radio 📻 😊❤😊❤😊❤
70 yes old now loved this as a teenager ,still do
It's funny, my mom and dad used to listen to the classic rock station 96.k rock in Florida every weekend all weekend and I heard all these great bands and songs but didn't appreciate how good it was till I was in my late 20s. I'm 40 now and I find myself taken back to my childhood livingroom every time I hear this. God to go back for just one day......
Don't mind me, 20 year old here who enjoys this song 😌
Peace, Friend.
Whose here Grooin rocking being a kid at the arcade in my Springfield and now I'm 114 years young and my father was at the battle of Yorktown. Bitin Jam!
Good music is good music, no matter what "era" you're currently in! They used to play this song at the fair on one of the fast rides. It was amazing to be a teenager in the 70s ❤
@@belydncr Told us this A Million X!
