Although she spent many years bouncing around in neckties and a punk pop persona, Avril Lavigne knows how to write a ballad and give it wings. Case in point is the inspiring “Keep Holding On” which was made for the 2006 adventure film Eragon. It’s a song of devotion and standing up for the one you love. She sings, “You're not alone, together we stand / I'll be by your side, you know I'll take your hand / When it gets cold and it feels like the end / There's no place to go, you know I won't give in.” The chorus promises that no matter what, you are never by yourself in this. It’s a comfort to hear this song and know that holding on during tough times is best when you can do together.
