Trampled by Turtles - It's So Hard to Hold On (Official Video)

We asked TBT fans to submit videos of themselves at our shows for a secret project. We were overwhelmed by the response of your videos, photos and more importantly, your stories. Love stories, loss stories, wedding stories, travel stories, marriage proposals, babies, couples, best friends, bros, kids, parents, pregnancies - It was quite emotional to read all of the experiences/memories from far and wide. We couldn’t use everything that came in but tried our best to fit as many as we could. Thank you for sharing your stories with us, we read every single one. We see you and we send lots of love to you all. - TBT

Lyrics:
There's a branch lying still by the ocean
Time goes fast, grab your lover and hold them
it's the same
Oh, the years come rushing back
Yeah, I don't remember that
Stuck at dawn falling fast like the weather
Sing a song in a way that you never did before
Oh, the screens have all gone black and they won't be coming back
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on
Steady now, it's a long way some days just won't go
Turn around don't tell me what I'm missing
I already know, I know what this isn't
Hold it down, just pretend for a minute
Man it crawls, yeah it crawls when you're in it
Man it crawls, yeah it crawls when you're in it
Man it crawls, yeah it crawls when you're in it
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on
It's so hard, it's so hard to hold on

I love this song. The lyrics are meaningful, the harmonies are gorgeous, the instrumentation is lush and honest, everything you’d expect from a band of this caliber.

[@andrewchambers1877]

I've seen you guys in Austin, at the Caverns in Tennessee, and at the Ryman this April. Seeing you for the fourth time in August at the Hinterlands Music Festival. Thanks for all the work you put into crafting such meaningful art.

Thanks so much for this, fellas. I saw you for the first time when you came through Santa Fe last year with Mount Joy. I'm seeing you again in July at Red Rocks. I'm looking forward to every time after that, too.
