Hang tight is a simple love song really, about my partner of over 15 years and how our life is panning out, but also sort of a dream of how life could be. Like everyone else, the past year gave us time to re-evaluate what we were trying to achieve and what we really wanted. We have been in London for 8 years and, as much as we love it, we feel like it could be time for a change. There’s something slightly disgusting about the amount of money needed to live a remotely comfortable life here now and it’s a massive shame because it’s going to lose a lot of young (not me, I’m old) creative people that add so much to the lifeblood of the city. So many of my friends have already left. Also, I can’t bare thinking about how much money I’ve given to greedy landlords since I moved here. Gross.
lyrics
So, you were right from the start
15 years together
I think that I would fall apart
If you left forever
Please don’t ever leave me alone
Hang tight never let it go
Buy a house down by the lake
Make money last for days
Keep me part of your plans
My heart is in your hands
And when we can leave the house
Take me to the river
Don’t need a ring to be a spouse
You just make me better
