Does anybody remember this song? It came out some time during the 70's (not sure of the exact year, but I'm willing to bet someone on the org will know). I love this song (especially the organ solo), it's kind of become the theme song of my life, since quitting my job a few weeks back. I find myself listening to it and using it as kind of a way to keep going. Corny, I know, but true:


Argent - "Hold Your Head Up"

And if it's there
Don't let it get you down,
You can take it.
And if it hurts
Don't let them see you cry,
You can make it.
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.

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.

(interlude)

I remember it, good song, pretty sure it came out in 1972

Great song.
It made my Favorite Pop/Rock Organ Tunes list.

In fact, the Zombies are coming back here in early March, and I'm going even though I just saw them 1/2 a year ago. They played Hold Your Head Up at that show, and I'm hoping it's going to stay in their set because it was definitely one of the highlights.

I really recommend seeing them if you get the chance - excellent songs played very well.

Mother Love Bone did a cover of this song that, IMO, beats the original.
