The Strangest Of Holds


Artist: Andy N Taylor
Key Signature: D major
Time Signature: 4/4
Artist's Description
A catchy, commercial pop-folk song with progressive and orchestral elements, balancing immediate melodic appeal with sophisticated composition and arrangement.

The lyrics are reflective and slightly cryptic, touching on ideas of self-doubt, regret, concealment and connection without imposing a single interpretation. Their open-ended nature allows the listener to project their own experiences and meaning onto the song.

Musically, the track is accessible and hook-driven, but beneath the surface it incorporates advanced compositional techniques, including shifts between 5/4 and 4/4, key changes, evolving section structures and carefully controlled tension and release.

The instrumental writing also includes a technically challenging finger-tapped solo, adding a progressive edge without sacrificing the song’s melodic and commercial character.

Overall, the piece sits somewhere between pop, folk and progressive songwriting — effectively a kind of “prog-pop-folk” — with enough immediacy for a mainstream audience and enough musical depth to reward closer listening.

Under a cloud
Thinking out loud
Trying to make up my mind

It’s all the rage
Fictitious page
Failing to impress myself

I’ve been here, waiting to be found out
Nothing to lie about
I’ve been here waiting for you, waiting for you

It’s the strangest of holds

Been here before
Mendacious bore
Crying for my loss and pride

Fixed up again
Masking the pain
Hiding from the flaws within

I’ve been here, waiting to be found out
Nothing to lie about
I’ve been here waiting for you, waiting for you

It’s the strangest of holds
Regret, you’ve been told
It’s the strangest of holds
Forget, you’ve been told
Forget, you’ve been told

It’s the strangest of holds
Regret, you’ve been told
It’s the strangest of holds
Forgetting that I’ve
Forgetting that I’ve been here
Waiting to be found out
Nothing to lie about
I’ve been here waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
