Anybody listening to this in 2021 take care everybody out there in these dark times take this timeless songs message and take care of each other hold on my friends out there music like this song here will keep us strong stay safe and be healthy
I said it once and I’ll say it again God is everywhere if your looking for him. I’m a Christian I believe in Christ Jesus. Triumph was my favorite band when I was a kid and the message in there songs always lifted up my faith for hope.
All ‘gods’ are myth-illogical creations by men over thousands of years ago, trying to explain Nature’s AweFully AMazeSing, SenseSationAll, PowerFull, MagicAll creation from an extreme lack of knowledge. King Akhenaten was one of the first to believe in one over many. It was the Sun. ☀️ The created ‘god’ in that ‘christian’ ‘bible’, which means book, is portrayed as one hella evil, chauvinistic, narcissistic, psychopath. Have you really read it front to back? It’s written by men, again a LONG time ago, from sheer lack of knowledge…STORIES, fables, fairy tales…not Real, though bits of real history in it, as well as some good lessons, as with any story book.
ALL of Triumph's songs convey a positive message! Besides Kansas, they are the only other non-christian rock band that does not sing of sex, drugs, etc.. Does anyone else out there realize how hard it is to have hit songs that are genuinely wholesome? I'm glad this music means so much to so many as it does to me!
Rik Emmett was blessed to be able to sing and play a guitar like he can. He could be a lead singer and a guitarist in any band. ROCK AND ROLL MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Phenomenal singer, guitarist, songwriter! Get chills from the lyrics on hold on! There's a celebration, deep within a song: Music holds a secret, to know it can make you whole, it's not "just" a game of notes, it's the sounds inside your soul, the magic of the melody, runs through you like a stream, the notes you play run through your head like a dream! HOLD ON!! Beautifully written!!
I worked at a skating rink as a floor guard when I was in high school which playing the music was part of my job Triumph got plenty of airtime, everything then was on a 45 or 33 record.
In 1979 I had a 1977 Firebird Formula with a pair of Jensen speakers in the back and I could play this song loud enough. Went and seen triumph that year in concert and the one song that they didn’t play was this song but when we got out of the concert and got in the firebird this song came on the radio and of course it went full blast for all the concert go’ers to hear in the parking lot. Was a blast in those days.
I did not live through the 70s or 80s so i dont know how popular this band was but geez us how does a band have so many inspirational songs that sound this great not have as many fans today as others like Boston Kansas and Scorpions....at least close? Although they deserve more credit i am very glad Triumph lived up to their name, the lucky fans of this band are now fortunate to be able to listen to songs such as this
The reason I find this song so inspirational (and many other also) is because it has a basic christian message and spirit of encouragement to it. The Bible says, "he who endures to the end shall be saved." and "he who overcomes I will give him a white stone and my name will be written on his forehead, " Rev. 22:3. I picture Jesus saying the same thing to those who believe on his name. "Hold on. I'm coming back soon. Don't give up." This song is special also because it does not encourage the typical debauchery we hear in a lot of rock music, ie...., Drugs, sex, wild women, wild men, gang banging, killing police officers. and the list goes on.
Every Triumph fan out there Should call the rock and roll Hall of fame every day demanding that they put this great Canadian band in the Hall and keep calling until they do it
I'm so glad I grew up(not that I'm gromn up yet,I'm only 57)during this era of rock.I've had a chance to listen to so much.Triumph is and always will be one of my favorites.
Great vocals, all three of them. Not very many people recognize the great harmonies these guys produced together. They were the good guys in white and their songs were so upbeat and positive. Man Canada really had that 3 piece band figured out. Great song and great band.
A song like this can make you drift back 40 years to a time when you where young and options were wide open. Options haven't changed, just grown more important that we remember the dreams this part of the world was created to work for. We really are going to have to Hold on to our Dreams now cause there are forces at work to strip them away from us.
I first heard this song in 1979 and never forget its message. My dreams meant every thing to me at 18 years old. Now I own a machine tool company and have had so much fun along the way. So never forget your dreams they can come true.
This song reminds me of when me and my grandpa would go to visit his friend who had a big farm. He had grandkids and me and them would always play on the farm and it was always a beautiful hot summer day. This was always on the radio on our way to go up there. I'm in high school now. This is when I was in elementary school. Reminds me of a great time
How old was I ? maybe 16. Triumph had these commercials on TV,never heard their music but it was bada@#. Talked to someone who went to the concert and said it was the best. Got the album and realized my mistake,best ever.Wish I saw them in concert !
Saw these boys live in Upper Darby at the Tower Theater in ‘77 or ‘78. My mom drove 3 of my friends and me to the show in her ‘73 green and white Pinto. Back then, life was just friends, girls and music. It got complicated after that. 😊
***** Not me either, but I'm always reading people's responses on how much better Getty Lee's vocals are, and I so disagree. Getty, while having a distinctive voice, to me, has no real range.
They must be Canadian..Geddy Lee /Rush is one of the most overrated (and annoying) bands of all time. Just IMHO, but Triumph is musically and vocally superior in every way to that hack trio Rush. Every time I hear a Rush song on the radio, I change the station.
Bill M I don't know if the commenters are Canadian or not, but I know Rush has a big following here as well. I don't hate Rush, but their lyrics are often politically motivated, and that in itself is a turn off for me. Triumph's music is so up lifting. Music candy for the human spirit. And yes, Ric Emmet's vocals are superior to Gettys' that's for certain.
Bought this album when it first came out. This song was so uplifting & full of hope & happiness for me back then. Such a beautiful song in every way, & it still is & always will be. I wish those carefree happy times were still here!
Boy,do I agree!!!!! I have a couple of the top comments on some other songs, in this case however....... just glad to be apart of you guys!! Ever get that feeling? You know when 20'000 others are in a darkened concert hall waiting for that last "TRIUMPHUL SONG" which unites everyone in the building! You wish that last 5 minutes could last FOREVER! I never got the awesome priveladge of seeing this band LIVE! Had a "precious few" of those other moments though. GREAT SONG &BAND! "GOOSEBUMPS" GOD B
@@appletree8441 Or only really bad white music will be allowed along with diverse types. Musical Spam now dominates and will dominate in the future. Soulless and bleek modern musical landscape. Hopefully, Heaven or other positive force will bring other band like Triumph, etc.; and other greats like Aretha Franklin, the Miracles, Temptations, James Brown. Today's music pretty much sucks, although there are some jazzy atmospheric and ambient modern music that is good. Classical music will always be great. Many rockers started by playing classical music. Elvis started singing and playing Gospel, as did Aretha Franklin.
I still remember exactly where I was and who I was with when I heard this album. I was 15 and to say I was blown away would be an understatement. There isn't one bad song and all these years later it still lives on in my playlist. ✌❤🎶
STILL believe in Taking Chances but it must be approached Cautiously in this Digital Age. Thank You TRIUMPH and Sir RIK EMMETT for Such INSPIRATIONAL Music that Encourages Us! You TRULY ROCK!!! Muchos Gracias ❤😅
Man that killer change at 3:45 gets me everytime. I miss these times where the music just ruled your every move in life. You woke up each day positive and ready to have fun. I guess they call it growing up in the late 70's early 80's. I thank God for that everyday. The way we are going December 21, 2012 sounds about right for a total cleansing.
When I was in high school, one localish (45 miles away) radio station called K104, played the top 104 songs of the year every year on new year's eve into new year's day. And this was their #1 song for 1979. I couldn't agree more! And I was lucky enough to see Triumph play it when I saw them in early '82.
I'm 60 years old. I expect every new day to be better than yesterday, and this song is as relevant to now as it ever was to yesterday. Fuck looking back.
I am keeping all my CDs and CD players. I also to want to get a CD player in my car; that is cheaper than paying for streaming services and Satellite radio. AM/FM radio really sucks, because the same musical spam, dumb, trite and musically unappealing songs, are played over and over. The best and most awesome stations are in California. There is one from Hollywood Hills that plays the most awesome, deep tracks ever from the 60s and 70s. No musical spam like on AM/FM is ever played on the best radio stations. However, to get the best Cali stations, you may have to sign up for Satellite or a streaming service.
I thought no one could be as big of a Triumph fan as myself. Outstanding to see all you people agree. Triumph was great. First heard them as a junior in high school. 1977- 78. Little did I know that that was as good as music could get. And that 40 years has passed in the blink of an eye. But I tell you the truth, my mind's eye still feels the same, still likes the same music is that young man did
Trying to remember an awesome song you heard as a kid, only to find it years later and saving it to your playlist is like successfully catching a legendary pokemon. 😂
One of the greatest rock and roll bands ever ! Period! Come on guys, put your differences aside and give your fans what they want...another tour so that we can all experience the wonders of Triumph LIVE !! (of course, start with CANADA) WE LOVE YOU !!
Canadian rock. Rush, Bachman Turner Overdrive, The Guess Who, April Wine, Triumph, Lover boy, Chilliwack and Saga. All great if you're just beginning to explore the 70s and 80s rock music.
I SEE A TREND OF THE POSITIVE MESSAGE THEME HERE IN THE THREAD. ALL TRIUMPH'S SONGS HAD A POSITIVE MESSAGE. SAW THEM IN THE PHILLY SPECTRUM AT THERE PRIME ..AMAZING BAND...
Came out when I was 13. I was a victim of child abuse who thought God was talking to him through pop music, telling him which way to go. A whole bunch of pop music came out in 1981, and it didn’t all have a positive message like this. Something to think about if you’re an artist. More people in your audience than you realize. Some of those people feel they have very little left to lose.
Fred, I do hope you healed from that. Too bad , Fred, People like that I would love to bust up. I don't know what I would if a person molested one of mine. They are all grown now but when I read your post, my heart went out to you.
this song makes me teary-eyed. It reminds me of high school when things were so much simpler than they are now. All I had to worry about when I used to crank this song in my car was the girl (one in particular) I was so close with, and how amazing we were together. Now, It makes me long for those days and how much I miss that girl. I wonder now, 20+ years later is how she is. What she is doing. If she thinks about me at all...
Triumph is the most underrated band of all time. Anyone who has heard their music and who knows music knows they belong in the Rock Roll Hall of Fame. I saw Triumph 6 to 7 times in the 80s they were unbelievable live also. Triumph and Rock and Roll will live forever!
I will be 56 in June . Triumph will always be one of the greatest bands . For those guys to ROCK & ROLL the way the do . Canada did put out some good bands . One I am thinking of is RUSH .
@@michaelparks536 Gospel music has inspirational value. Rock n Roll is based on blues, boogie woogie, and Gospel. Some rock and soul are inspired by the Bible. Elvis was a fan of Gospel music and blues.The late, great Aretha Franklin was a Gospel singer. Religion and music have always gone together.
This song is so much better than most of the later fan-favorites that would dominate their set lists in the future. This one never really would ever fit again, and it's a shame.
Surely, this kind of music comes from a very special and spiritual place. I listened to this song a lot in my teen years, when there was no TH-cam, and all we had was the pictures from the album covers (at least in my country)
I'm 60. I feel just like I did when I was 15 every time I hear it. Time really is an illusion. Thanks for the gift guys.
You could not be more right.
June 2024!!!
The Music They GAVE TO ALL OF US. I 💚 WILL NEVER EVER TO BE GRATEFUL ENOUGH 🙏 BUT THANK YOU RIK GIL AND MIKE ❤
Time is was and shall be.
I second that emotion, 1000%!!!
What a Timeless Masterpiece... Thank you times a million to say the least, Triumph 🎶🎼🎹❤️🎈🎇🎉🥳
Anybody listening to this in 2021 take care everybody out there in these dark times take this timeless songs message and take care of each other hold on my friends out there music like this song here will keep us strong stay safe and be healthy
I said it once and I’ll say it again God is everywhere if your looking for him. I’m a Christian I believe in Christ Jesus. Triumph was my favorite band when I was a kid and the message in there songs always lifted up my faith for hope.

Does anyone else out there realize how hard it is to have hit songs that are genuinely wholesome? I'm glad this music means so much to so many as it does to me!
Although sex and drugs aren't mentioned, they do like to "Party 24 hours a day" and "Live for the weekend"
Killer dwarfs another Canadian band with a positive message
I loved triumph back in 81.. yep ,good positive music for the soul.
Rik Emmett was blessed to be able to sing and play a guitar like he can. He could be a lead singer and a guitarist in any band. ROCK AND ROLL MACHINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rik Emmett is an incredible musician. He and Triumph never got the recognition they deserved. These songs were so moving back when I was a kid!!! Wow😊

Very underrated band. They should've got more recognition. This song is amazing
This and Magic Power. Nailed it.. this Band is right behind Rush for 3 man Canadian Bands. You gotta respect a 3 man Band
Rush overshadowed them
This song takes me back when everything was great hanging out with your friends jamming out loud
AINT THAT THE TRUTH!!! NOW IT'S ABOUT GETTING UP FOR WORK AND PAYIN BILLS
@@roberthorvath9784 Stop Complaining And pay them

These songs are pure classics which holds true day and tomorrow. All we have to do is listen and invite other to do the same.

Naw
@@RadagastBrown420 f of douche bag,why u here?go listen to your just beiber douche!!
@Dave Smith yup just a hole he is!!
@Dave Smith
"hater"
I don't think so. Triumph does not need to be in a "club" called the rock and roll hall of fame that honors people like madonna.
They are in the Canadian Rock Hall of Fame and are in many others. Why they are not in the US is beyond me.
24 Hours A Day, Magic Power, Hold On. Triumph has the most beautiful intros I've ever heard
For sure! ❤
I remember scouring the radio stations day and night, hoping to listen to this song in the summer of 1979.
This song will never get old!!!!

Music is the life blood of Humanity!!
I watched the at the US Festival in 83, and they were absolutely perfect, the best band that whole weekend!!!
One of the most under rated bands of all time. Rik Emmett is Terrific.
jenny stryker You're So right. Triumph deserves to be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
They were too good for Top 40.
Triumph was too good for spam laden mainstream AM/FM stations.
jenny stryker absolutely agreed!
nope,not under rated all.thats just you.huge success.
I just got done listening to "Chumbawamba-Tubthumping"; Now I'm all pumped up to listen to You! Viva Canada!! Viva Triumph!!
This was/is my wedding song :) Nothing more powerful and passionate than Rik Emmett singing about music and positivity :)
Exactly
Lauren Helmer UNDERSTAND Not music that can make you WHOLE !!! www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0085/0085_01.asp
+michael parks Sorry but I really don't think Jesus has a problem with this song bringing a positive message to those in despair.
Well said.
This wasn't my wedding song, but I listened to it about 20 times, alone, on my Wedding Day. We just celebrated our 40th Wedding Anniversary recently..
Thank you Canada for Triumph and Rush.
Don't know how would have made through
life with out them. Great music.
amen!!!!!
The Guess Who and April Wine too.
Douglas Cook got that part right. saw Triumph in '83 in Bakersfield CA fine show. an even better band. Triumph forever
And Heart, right?
And Gerry Doucette and Moxy

merlynwylld well said my friend, well said
Like a lot of people, this song brought tears to my eyes the first time I heard. It says a lot about how powerful music is.
Right now is my first time hearing it.

My favorite Triumph song. Love the Lyrics. Sweet Tea for the working people of the world.
I was a high school senior working in a grocery store. After closing on a friday, I'd hop in the car and cruise around town jamming out to Triumph.
Never hear enough Triumph. One of if not THE best band of the 80s. Magic Power is a timeless classic!
absolutely agree,rik has got the perfect voice
Allied forces album is a top 10
How old was I ? maybe 16. Triumph had these commercials on TV,never heard their music but it was bada@#. Talked to someone who went to the concert and said it was the best. Got the album and realized my mistake,best ever.Wish I saw them in concert !

Till this day probably one of my best songs ever. Can't believe it been 40 yrs.
To think I'm a huge rock fan and never heard of Triumph until 2020. For shame! This and "Movin' On" are freaking fantastic.
It's never too late
Canadian rock. Rush, Bachman Turner Overdrive, The Guess Who, April Wine, Triumph, Lover boy, Chilliwack and Saga. All great if you're just beginning to explore the 70s and 80s rock music.
Et c'est loin d'être les meilleurs mec
Je voulais parler des chansons de Triumph, ils en on fait pleins d'autres magnifiques 👍🥰🥰.
This music never ages. Damn shame they don’t get the credit they deserve and earned…
This song just puts me in that special place that I want to be and never leave....
Such a great song
Unbreakable perfection from a time only us who LIVED it truly remember and love....
Should be in the top 100 of all time best rock n roll tunes!
I’ve been a huge rock fan for 50 years in the UK but I’ve never heard of Triumph until today. Sounds like a ‘nice’ Boston.

My Mom always played Triumph albums. I still hear her singing them on her songs list. But she still has those albums and turntable.
wow, the song then and now means soooooo much meaning to me!!!!such great words!!!!!!!!
I SEE A TREND OF THE POSITIVE MESSAGE THEME HERE IN THE THREAD. ALL TRIUMPH'S SONGS HAD A POSITIVE MESSAGE. SAW THEM IN THE PHILLY SPECTRUM AT THERE PRIME ..AMAZING BAND...
Hmmm ... I never knew Mysterio played with Triumph.
Thank you for the information !
Saw them there also, they were great, saw them with my first love, he just passed but we have the memory of this great night.
Love this band. Ric lives in the same city as I do and he plays occasionally for benefits in the area.
Positivity is what its all about!
Best song from Triumph and they had many more but people dont know this the 1st!
Always holding on to my dreams and great music
Damn good band ,damn good era for music great time to be in your early twenties still have great memories. Im 58 and still enjoying this music
Came out when I was 13. I was a victim of child abuse who thought God was talking to him through pop music, telling him which way to go. A whole bunch of pop music came out in 1981, and it didn’t all have a positive message like this. Something to think about if you’re an artist. More people in your audience than you realize. Some of those people feel they have very little left to lose.
Hope you found healing Fred.
Fred, I do hope you healed from that. Too bad , Fred, People like that I would love to bust up. I don't know what I would if a person molested one of mine. They are all grown now but when I read your post, my heart went out to you.
5 years older than you but similar story. Hope you're doing well.
AGREED
this word is fucking ruined with pop
this song makes me teary-eyed. It reminds me of high school when things were so much simpler than they are now. All I had to worry about when I used to crank this song in my car was the girl (one in particular) I was so close with, and how amazing we were together. Now, It makes me long for those days and how much I miss that girl. I wonder now, 20+ years later is how she is. What she is doing. If she thinks about me at all...
Triumph is the most underrated band of all time. Anyone who has heard their music and who knows music knows they belong in the Rock Roll Hall of Fame. I saw Triumph 6 to 7 times in the 80s they were unbelievable live also. Triumph and Rock and Roll will live forever!
They had the BEST Shows... 🔥 🔥 🔥
I do remember them having two or three big hits, maybe more, so they couldn't have been that underrated.
SUCH A AWESOME BAND FROM CANADA!!! LOVE TRIUMPH, ALWAYS WILL !!! ALL 3 OF THEM ARE EXCELLENT MUSICIANS.
Triumph rocks! Here I am in Sept. 2020 amid the corona virus. HOLD ON by Triumph is one of those songs helping me get thru the hard times.🎸🎸🇨🇦🎶❤🤘🎤🔥🔥
I will be 56 in June . Triumph will always be one of the greatest bands . For those guys to ROCK & ROLL the way the do . Canada did put out some good bands . One I am thinking of is RUSH .
This song has more meaning to me then a lot of other songs, it's in my top 5. So many memories with this song.....RIP Dad, Steve & JD....

@@michaelparks536 Gospel music has inspirational value. Rock n Roll is based on blues, boogie woogie, and Gospel. Some rock and soul are inspired by the Bible. Elvis was a fan of Gospel music and blues.The late, great Aretha Franklin was a Gospel singer. Religion and music have always gone together.
This song is so much better than most of the later fan-favorites that would dominate their set lists in the future. This one never really would ever fit again, and it's a shame.
Surely, this kind of music comes from a very special and spiritual place. I listened to this song a lot in my teen years, when there was no TH-cam, and all we had was the pictures from the album covers (at least in my country)
lou richard As did I Lou. Yea we had pictures on the (LP). Or vinyl as they put it.
Totally awesome ! Brings my life in prospective /////////
One of my favorite songs ever. It's awesome when you're cruising down the highway on a gorgeous sunny day with the windows all rolled down.
Wow....Triumph! You're always bringing me back to the great bands that we used to share.
And still do!
Adam Hechler good feelings and good times!
Adam Hechler ~My neighbors should be used to this by now.

I love Triumph, such positive energy. Best band ever!
