of the song. However, I had not watched this until he posted part of it on Instagram a few days ago. It is a tough, guy-wrenching song to get through, but, oh my God, he just sings it so perfectly, with such passion and emotion, that I am on the verge of tears after listening to him sing it. Thank you, Rob, for sharing your amazing beautiful voice with us.
i didn't know how much I would relate to this song. I cry everytime I hear " When your home consists of only you Is there anything worth holding on to ?"
I've been waiting a long time for a performance of this piece that could rival Cynthia in both skill and substance. I'm happy to say I finally got my wish and it's even cooler that it's a male singer. There have been a lot of attempts at this song, but this one finally gets it right. Bravo.
I can listen to this on repeat. The song has so much meaning and Rob Houchen shows so much emotion. The first time I listened to it, it made cry. The lyrics are well written and so meaningful!!
So from this you could imagine how brilliant and how emotional he is in the scene ' empty chairs at empty tables', it's so desperate while so beautiful.
Saw Rob last week in Les Mis and fell in love with him and his talent. So so pleased that he has performed this beautiful song so well! So much love for both of these men.
I have been obsessively watching, feeling, and learning from this for two years now. I'm still loved every single time. One of the best performances I have been seen, and such a great song. Thank you Scott and Rob for this gift.
You sing like no one else. You live your songs in your eyes when you sing. It’s like we take a piece of you which each song. It makes us feel connected to you. That’s talent!! ❤️
Absolutely Love Rob. His voice is incredible and hes such nice guy when over met him at the stage door...etc. I also suffer with Bipolar disorder and this is a beautiful song; very moving. Can connect to it alot x
Lately it seems I've lost inspiration it feels like it's miles away I sleep through the day cry through the night time caught in an empty space It takes effort to fight I don't have the strength I'm holding on to what's still left of me When the life you had planned slowly slips through your hands When it feels like you just slept through all the best years of your life When you can't find your way When each day is the same When you've lost the fight inside of you Is there anything worth holding on to? It's hard to be strong when weakness is stronger I'm a prisoner in my own skin I'm not good on my own I need to be cared for Someone to help these days begin There are dreams I've let die That I just pushed aside I need to find out how to turn this dark back into light When the warmth disappears When it's been one of those years When you're running from the truth because your scared of what you might find When your heart's beyond repair When you wake and no ones there When your home consists of only you Is there anything worth holding on to Maybe tomorrow my heart will reawaken And I can find what I've been searching for But today I'm tired and I'm running out of strength All I know is I can't live like this anymore When you're so far from home When you've lost all signs of hope When you're searching for salvation But it feels so far away When the words have disappear And the melody's unclear When there's nothing left inside of you Is there anything worth holding on to Cause I will still be holding on, to anything worth holding on to

Maybe tomorrow My heart will reawaken And I can find what I've been searching for But today I'm tired and I'm running out of strength All I know is I can't live Like this anymore When you're so far from home When you've lost all signs of hope When you're searching for salvation But it feels so far away When the words have disappear And the melody's unclear When there's nothing left inside of you Is there anything worth holding on to?

It’s missing the soul for me in these vocals. He’s too calculated and focused on the technical aspects of the song. It’s literally about someone on the brink of ending their life surveying how they have nothing to live for but he’s more worried about enunciating and placing vibrato in the right spots to really convey such depth that the lyrics demand. It sounds like he tried to copy some Weiss riffs here too but grossly missed the mark on most of them 🧐
@@codyash3802 but not necessarily bc like I know that I relate what I’ve been through with lyrics in songs and that has a huge impact on my choices when I sing it
@@harri6399 Cool. He’s apparently not like that for reasons I already outlined. He’s a theatrical vocalist that, at least here, focused too much on applying his “theater tone and technique” to the song rather than connecting to the sentiment and letting that power his vocal instead. The fact that he’s allegedly suffered from mental illness bears no weight to any of that. If that’s the case, he failed to use source material in experience to connect to the song more.
Yeah, I saw that there were two and I didn't want to purchase the wrong key. Thank you! Also, another question. I was looking at your website (obviously), and I looked at your vocal therapy sessions and thought I read that the sessions are based in Ft. Lauderdale - is that true? Is that the only place that you hold them?
email my assistant at kevin@scottalan.net and he can give you more information regarding sessions. They are held in Florida but most students take them over Skype.
This is one of the most beautifully written songs ever! And, Rob sang it perfectly well!!!!
This song simply can't be sung or performed any better than this. Thank you, Rob and Scott!
I'm gonna go ahead and call this a sign. Not only does it describe my battle with depression but it was performed on my birthday. This is my song =3
Thanks for this song my son sing your song and it's very touching and every time I hear it i cry😂
The fact that he sang this sitting down blows my mind!

Lately it seems
I've lost inspiration
it feels like it's miles away
I sleep through the day
cry through the night time
caught in an empty space
It takes effort to fight
I don't have the strength
I'm holding on to what's still left of me
When the life you had planned
slowly slips through your hands
When it feels like you just slept through all
the best years of your life
When you can't find your way
When each day is the same
When you've lost the fight inside of you
Is there anything worth holding on to?
It's hard to be strong
when weakness is stronger
I'm a prisoner in my own skin
I'm not good on my own
I need to be cared for
Someone to help these days begin
There are dreams I've let die
That I just pushed aside
I need to find out how to turn this dark back into light
When the warmth disappears
When it's been one of those years
When you're running from the truth because your scared of what you might find
When your heart's beyond repair
When you wake and no ones there
When your home consists of only you
Is there anything worth holding on to
Maybe tomorrow my heart will reawaken
And I can find what I've been searching for
But today I'm tired and I'm running out of strength
All I know is I can't live like this anymore
When you're so far from home
When you've lost all signs of hope
When you're searching for salvation
But it feels so far away
When the words have disappear
And the melody's unclear
When there's nothing left inside of you
Is there anything worth holding on to
Cause I will still be holding on, to anything worth holding on to
Everything worth holding on to**
This is amazing I'm crying x
Why are all the songs I find and wanna sing males this one and again performed by Bradley! I love them ✨❤️
cynthia erivo was the original singer of the song
you can always transpose up/down :)
this was originally sung by a female artist and Again was re-recored by a female artist on LIVE. So, get to singing ;)
+Scott Alan ohh I will have to get it then! Cause I'm in England can u still get it as its in dollars xx
you sure can. sing it out, Becca
You'd have to have a heart stone to not feel something when you sing this.
Wonderful.
Soo moving...wow
Well. That. Was. Brilliant.
