Rob Thomas’ latest music video takes inspiration from his real-life romance. The visuals for “Hold on forever”, the second single from his new album “The great unknown”, are an ode to Rob’s relationship with his wife, Marisol Maldonado. Back in September, Rob tweeted that the video “recreates a younger Mari and I roaming NYC.” The couple in the video has a magical day together, as Rob sings, “Take my hand, hold on forever.” Rob and Marisol have been married for 16 years. Marisol recently faced a health scare when a lesion was discovered on her brain. She underwent surgery to correct it and is doing well.
Lyrics:
Another night and here we are again All our faults laid out ahead Let it out, then let it right back in All those voices in your head
And we both know everything, but we can’t learn to leave So I’ll tell you what you need
First thing: we make you feel better Next stop: we pull it all together I’ll keep you warm like a sweater Take my hand, hold on forever Just fall apart if you need to I’m here and I won’t leave you now Don’t look down Hold on forever
Lay down all your troubles end to end They could reach up to the stars So many roads, you don’t know where you’ve been But you still know who you are
And if I seem preoccupied, I’m wondering what to do So here’s my recipe for you
First thing: we make you feel better Next stop: we pull it all together I’ll keep you warm like a sweater Take my hand, hold on forever Just fall apart if you need to I’m here and I won’t leave you now Don’t look down Hold on forever
And we both know everything, but we can’t learn to leave So I’ll tell you what you need
First thing: we make you feel better Next stop: we pull it all together I’ll keep you warm like a sweater Take my hand, hold on forever Just fall apart if you need to I’m here and I won’t leave you now Don’t look down Hold on forever Just take my hand; hold on forever Hold on forever Just take my hand; hold on forever
