    I'm back with another video with the amazing Scott Alan but this time I have the incredible honor of singing with my dear friend and "This is Us" star, Chrissy Metz. "Anything Worth Holding On To" is an incredibly moving song that Scott wrote about his struggles with mental health and suicide. In the studio, we really delved into that and the results left us raw and in literal tears. Chrissy, Scott, and I hope you enjoy our new rendition of "Anything Worth Holding On To".

    ________________________________
    “Anything Worth Holding On To”
    Lately it seems, I've lost inspiration
    It feels like it's miles away
    I sleep through the day
    And cry through the night time
    I'm caught in an empty space
    Takes effort to find
    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 you're life
    When you can't find your way
    When each day ends 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 well
    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

    When I heard this I sat in my car and sobbed from the depths of my heart. This describes EXACTLY how absolutely broken, lost and alone I felt for so long after my divorce. It truly feels like there’s nothing left to even hope for. Thank God I did hold on (by a frayed thread) to finally feel the relief of taking a full breath. There is ALWAYS hope!!!

    I found this by accident....I LOVE it when that happens, especially when it turns out to be an ABSOLUTELY AMAZING SONG, with INCREDIBLE HARMONY. I'm 70, & never heard of y'all, but I'll be listening now. I cried like others. The words are so true. I'm a FIRM believer in LIVING THRU THE HARD TIMES, NO MATTER HOW ROUGH, GOD WILL HELP YOU GET THROUGH IT....just TRUST HIM. Imagine what you would miss.... & there's A LOT. SO, YOU must FIGHT TO LIVE EVERY SINGLE DAY!!! You MUST find one tiny thing to hold on to...I don't care if it's your favorite soda, ice cream, saving turtles or imagining how your dearest relative who loved you so much & is in heaven now, would be heartbroken to know you gave up on YOUR LIFE. Hold on to your favorite song or something that actually brought you happiness at some point in your life. U see, my days are numbered now. I might have a few yrs & I might not. It's slowly eating at me every single day, because I have a million things, I still want to accomplish but don't have the $$$ or am not well (healthy) enough to do some of them. Still, I'm FIGHTING TO THE VERY END TO KEEP GOING and praying daily God will bless me with many more yrs despite the pain I will have to endure 24 hrs each day, 7 days a week. It's harder than u can imagine. But, it's all worth it to see a child smile, to hear my grandson & daughter's voices ...they live 1500 miles from me. I miss their hugs so very much. It's worth it to find a beautiful song like this one. So, NO MATTER WHAT, YOU SEARCH (and don't stop) until you find the one person or thing (even a pet) that makes you smile & brings joy into your life. MOST IMPORTANTLY, get rid of ALL THE TOXIC PEOPLE & things that bring you down, or are negative. Walk away quickly holding your head high because you're the better person. You want to be around positive, happy people. You may find it hard, but it's so worth it once you get past worrying about what 'the negative ones think'. You only need to be concerned about your health and peace of mind. If you ever need someone to talk to, reply to me here and I'll find a way to communicate and listen. I'm a 24/7 listener & friend/helper to ANYONE...friends, family (if they really care about me) & strangers. You see not all family members do and it's heartbreaking, but you'll get through that too. It doesn't matter if you're a stranger. I'd rather be a listener to someone I don't know, than to hear a person gave up because no one cared, or they thought there was no solution. There's ALWAYS a solution &....I CARE. GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU SAFE, WARM & HEALTHY. Bluebird :)

      Bluebird? Are you there? I sure do hope that this reaches you properly becuase I feel its right that you hear even if it is from a total stranger, what a kind and generous soul you have. There is so much cruelty and meanness out there in the world today unfortunately, and reading your review brought me hope. Hope that there are more selfless people in the world, such as yourself! It was so nice reading your review and all of the kind, generous things that you had to say. I do not know you, we've never met, nor have we ever spoken. It seems however just from the words that were left for others to read, that you are lonely. I just wanted to say to you as you have to everybody out there.... you also have someone that YOU can talk to who will listen. HI! My name is Shelley and its such a pleasure to reach out to you! I hope this finds you well and I hope you truly know that your beautiful soul is appreciated (and well needed in this world).
      Thank you for spreading hope.
      Just a stranger,
      Shelley from California

    Depression is real. To those you have been lucky and not experience it, do not dismiss your friends that do experience it. Every time I listen to this beautiful song, I ask myself the question, "Is there anything worth holding on to for me?" And every time, I answer yes, and I choose one thing and I thank God for that one thing that I have to live for. God gives me strength again to move forward. Chrissy and Matt, Thank you for this absolutely beautiful song. The words make me look deep inside of myself. Both of you have absolutely beautiful voices.

I just got thru a divorce with my ex husband of 45 yrs. God never left my side . But I’m legally blind and permanently disabled. But I lost. I get nothing. But I’m the one who wins I got God. I was praying this morning for funds to buy all my meds I needed. My friend told me this” Anita instead of telling God about your huge problems and obstacles. Do this”Tell your problems and obstacles how huge your God is. My favorite verse in the Bible is”silver and gold I do not have. But what I do have I give to u freely. Now get up and walk. And that’s what I did. Glory to God

    This is an absolutely beautiful song. I am writing a book because of the severe dysfunctional childhood that I went through. The beatings I witnessed when I was a little girl watching my mother crying in so much pain. The loaded gun as my father stumbled throughout the house so drunk looking for my mother. Our only hope was that he wouldn't find her under my brother's twin bed with a dark blanket covering her body. I remember all the beatings, mental abuse and it never ended until he was old. I don't have a relationship with my mother or my 4 siblings. I am the scapegoat the sibling that spoke up and defended my mother. I use to be a daddy's girl when I was reaaly little. I thought he was my world until one day i realized he was a monster. My father passed away two years ago and somehow I am the enemy in my families eyes. It's not their faults we were raised to think this was normal. As if we we're brain washed at a young age to believe all relationships are like this. My father died without any regrets or apologies for the damage he created. My God my mother and siblings haven't talked to me for years. My mother who gave birth to a beautiful little girl. My siblings who are so blaming can't recognize that their younger sister is so innocent. If we had a healthy and loving childhood they all would be hugging me instead of hurting me. God told me that I was an innocent child who was born into a very, very dsyfunctional family. I pray one day my mother and siblings knock on my door and realize i have done nothing wrong.

    Shared with my sister in law of 36 years after my brother just passed away on Feb 28th 2024. My heart hurts for her. My heart hurts for all of us. Live each day as if it's your last because we never know. I lost a husband to a head on collision with an 18 wheeler in 2000 so I feel her pain but not 36 years worth of marriage. That's half a life time spent with one person. My brother was 57 years old. He died unexpectedly and I'm not sure this hurt ever goes away.

    I stepped out the shower and reached over to grab my towel and I stood still the moment this song started. As if I froze and couldn't move. Tears started flowing through my cheeks. I've been struggling with severe depression, PTSD, anxiety, insomnia, and PTSD for the past few years and my oh my! Has it been a B**** of a rollercoaster ride the whole time since it all began. Cried throughout the whole song you two have such angelic voices! It's amazing how 2 individuals could bring LIFE to a song just by giving it their heart and their all. This is ridiculously BEAUTIFUL. I'm in AWE! I love it thank you for sharing this!!

    Wow...As a 40 yr old woman with an unforgiving and very wicked, debilitating neurological disorder that I’ve fought all my life, with the last 21 years being the most torturous, more than half of my life...I felt as though these lyrics came straight from my heart. I am deeply blessed and have so much in my life that is “worth hanging onto”. But, in the silence, while the world is sleeping, sometimes I lose heart. My façade, even that which I wear to fool *myself*, starts crumbling. Even surrounded by those who love me, it’s possible and common for me to feel alone. There is deep isolation that inherently occurs as a result of enduring something so foreign to those around me. As I 💯 genuinely rejoice with others, that isolation is, inevitably, fortified from watching them reach their dreams and thrive. My faith and my family are the reason I press on and am willing to continue to experience this living hell, to put it mildly, to learn, to grow, to love, to give...even when I don’t feel as though I have anything left to give, at times. This song is REAL. Stripped down reality of moments in every person’s life, in each of our “stories”. Thank you for this piece! Expertly sung, expertly presented with emotion that lays bare the brokenness, the struggle, the losses, and sacrifices. Thank you for giving a voice to what it is to hit rock bottom, even to live there for a time. Songs like this tell us we aren’t the only one who walk this path. It gives the listener the permission to not be perfect, to let go of the need to always be strong....and in doing so, proclaiming the quiet victory of choosing life.

      Laura Marie your struggle sounds familiar to me. All i feel i wanna say is keep pushing. Dont give in to the dark. We have some important work just on the other side of this darkness. The battle we are fighting, it is real. That we continue to stand when most others would of given up by now is a testament of strength & courage to some looking in upon struggle. We dont know the reason why now but i believe at some point it will all be revealed what was going on behind the scenes. And it will have produced something beautiful.
      Thats why i myself keep pushing up and out. Against all these things that tell me i wont. That tell me to just give in already....im not. I hope you dont either.
      Keep pushing up.

      Laura Marie I am sending up a prayer for you, for strength. I admire you. I am proud of you. Your comments brought to mind my oldest and best friend, my maid of honor, whose life took a different path when she was diagnosed at 19 with lupus. When she had to leave college early and go home, when she became increasingly homebound, I think the rest of us couldn’t comprehend the levels of her struggle, and the depth of her determination and spirit. She is my model and my angel. I know its her who waits, first, for me.

    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

If we lose focus, we die (This is how suicide comes across our mind) Do not lose focus. You are not alone and not the only one who suffering whatever is you are struggling in now. Focus to God. Focus. If we lose focus, we die.

    I found your beautiful song, just 2 weeks ago after being diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I have a daughter 29, who lives with me who has EDS, TN 1&2, POTS, hearjng loss, PTSD, many concussions, & Hip Dysplasia.
    It took 25 yrs to find that she has EDS, very difficult to diagnose & a rare monster. I am her caregiver. We have no family or friends here for physical support.
    Covid has put her research for EDS so far behind & now she has me to worry about.
    This beautiful song helps to push away the all of the horrible things in my messed up mind but I still find myself in the dark, feeling alone and wondering, besides having my daughter, I don't have anything worth holding on to.😓
    This song allows me to cry, be frustrated, angry, grateful, but puts things into perfect perspective. I hope someday that the darkness turns to light but...with her EDS & my cancer, her life span is 48 yrs and me maybe 5yrs. How do I come to terms with leaving my beautiful, intelligent, loving heart of my life behind?
    Thank you both for this beautiful song and allowing tears instead of anger.. xoxo

    This is the first time I have ever heard this song and I am in tears. This song is the most honest song I have ever heard expressing how difficult life is when you are dealing with an illness. Two years ago I was diagnosed with a serious progressive disease that has greatly impacted my life. I've had to give up many dreams and often am too tired to do anything. Like the song says "you feel like a prisoner in your own skin." This is too real. Thank you for making such a beautiful and honest song. Blessings.

    I heard this song and made my cry. I was at a hotel, give myself some self care. I take care of my 93 year old father, who was just diagnosed with Alzheimer's and Dementia, after his first delusional episode. I lost my son in 2019and my mom, who I care for 4 years full time before she passed. I did not allow my self to cry over my, to be strong for my mom. I didn't cry over my mom, to be strong for my dad. I finally let it all out in the hotel by myself. Then this song came on. It put all my feelings into words. A beautiful song for my healing journey.
    Thank you!!! I so need to hear this song. Many blessings to you both. ❤️

    Back when I was a student about the time this video came out, I had a really bad day. I failed an exam, my professor told me that my grade average was in danger of falling, and and I couldn’t keep up with my work. Suddenly this song came up and I felt….EVERYTHING. By the time the chorus rolled around I just broke down in the school cafe, not caring if anyone saw me. By the end I finally a breath and felt deflated, but okay all the same. Someone then walked up and asked if I was okay and I said “I wasn’t but I think I will be now.” To anyone who reads this I just want to say “it’ll be okay, you can make it through, you can figure it out cause that’s what you were made to do” and whether you choose to believe it or not, you are loved and you are deserving of that love. 🫂❤

    I've only just heard this song. I was so choked up. It was describing me & my life, even if I'm a bit older. You can tell when a song is sung from the heart with emotion. I've had Chronic Depression since I was 8. I am in my late 40's now & I'm still struggling. I also am in a wheelchair & have a number of chronic health conditions. I sit on the sidelines watching everyone else have a life & wish that was me. I am so empty I can't fight any more. Everything I've wanted to do or be has come to a crashing halt. I didn't expect to still be single without kids at this point in my life. The only things I've ever wanted or wanted to do, I can't catch a break. There's only so many knock-backs a person can take. My heart can't take any more. I'd love to be a singer, but because of learning problems I'm unable to write my own music. Music literally kept me alive when I was young. I watch younger family members get jobs, get married & have kids. I'm happy for them but heart-broken I don't have the same thing. I feel worthless. I don't have the energy to do anything anymore, even things I use to like doing. I don't have a group of friends or a partner to talk to, I'm just numb inside. Music is such a good way of expressing emotions.

You can't make someone love you. You can't make someone be more affectionate. I put my whole heart into a one sided marriage and got hurt so bad. I was broken and when he left damaged.

    Your song reminds me of my sorely-missed mum who recently died of Covid. My mum left us too young, too abruptly, too soon. When I listen to your song, it brings tears to my eyes because I really miss her every day. I haven't got over it yet and I think I never will. My life is not the same any more without my mum. Since she passed away, I got into a deep depression and I can't get out of it. I feel empty inside since she left. I would like to have wings to join her high above, beyond the clouds and to be finally reunited again.
