'Hold On' por Good Charlotte.

Antes de leer algo de este artículo, me encantaría que escuchases, o leyeses también, este video.

Good Charlotte, una banda de música de Maryland, Estados Unidos. Este increíble vídeo, creado, dirigido y gestionado personalmente por los chicos de Good Charlotte, vió la luz en 2002, como el ultimo sencillo del album The Young and The Hopeless.

Desde los comienzos de la banda, el grupo intentó mantener un lazo entre ellos y sus fans, llegó a ser tan fuerte que incluso sus seguidores les escribían cartas sobre sus problemas o simplemente para expresar su admiración, pero algunos de ellos también contenían el mensaje de la muerte.Algunas de esas cartas contaban al grupo sus propios planes de suicidio, de los mismos remitentes de las cartas, bien porque habían perdido un amor o por cualquier tipo de experiencia. La mayoría eran de personas muy jóvenes. 

Según continuaban esas cartas, Good Charlotte decidió crear algo que imposibilitara a sus fans cometer ese acto tan estúpido y macabro. Y así es como se creó Hold On.

La banda banda transmitió a esas personas el mensaje de "que continuaran, que siguieran adelante cuando sus mundo parecían no tener ningún camino bueno, porque había muchas cosas por las que vivir y luchar"

Cuando ellos decidieron empezar con el proyecto Hold On, no sabían los efectos que causaría el vídeo y la letra de la canción, pero mucha gente dejó de sufrir, también las personas que aparecen en las entrevistas del videoclip. Esos padres, hijos, hijas, amigos, también habían perdido un miembro de su familia, no eran actores, y Good Charlotte era exactamente lo que quiso. "Se sintieron mucho mejor cuando expresaron todos sus sentimientos enfrente de una cámara en grabación. Después de algunos días, muchos de ellos llamaron al estudio para agradecer a la banda la oportunidad que les habían ofrecido." 

Good Charlotte ha sido una de las mas poderosas bandas, capaz de animar cientos de chicos y chicas que tenían una visión muy negra de la vida y la realidad. Este grupo será una de las pocas bandas de música "que tenga las agallas para escribir una canción acerca de un problema real que está presente en todo el mundo, y parece que nadie se preocupa del dolor de las victimas que han sobrevivido y sus familias" 

Aquí tenéis la letra de la canción (la traducción está en el vídeo de arriba):

This world, this world is cold

But you don't, you don't have to go

You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely

And no one seems to care

You're mother's gone and your father hits you

This pain you cannot bear

But we all bleed the same way as you do

And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on, if you feel like letting go

Hold on, it gets better than you know

Days, you say they're way too long

And your nights, you can't sleep at all

Hold on

And you're not sure what you're waiting for

But you don't want to know more

And you're not sure what you're looking for

But you don't want to know more

But we all bleed the same way as you do

And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on, if you feel like letting go

Hold on, it gets better than you know

Don't stop looking, you're one step closer

Don't stop searching, it's not over

Hold on

What are you looking for?

What are you waiting for?

Do you know, what you're doing to me?

Go ahead, what are you waiting for?

Hold on, if you feel like letting go

Hold on, it gets better than you know

Don't stop looking, you're one step closer

Don't stop searching, it's not over

Hold on, if you feel like letting go

Hold on, it gets better than you know

Hold on

'Hold On', by Good Charlotte.

Before reading something from this article, I would want you to listen, or read in addition, this video.

Good Charlotte, music band from Maryland, USA. This incredible video, created, run, and managed personally by the guys from Good Charlotte, sees the light in 2002, as the last single of the album The Young and The Hopeless.

From the beginning of the band, they tried to keep the bond between them and their fans, so close that even their followers wrote them letters about problems or just expressing admiration, but some of them also keep the message of death. Few of the letters told the group about suicide plans for themselves, for the senders of the letters, because of losing a love or other kind of experiences. Most of them were from very young people.

As so it went on, Good Charlotte decided to create something that unable their fans to commit such a stupid and mad act. And this is the way Hold On was created.

The band urged these people 'to hold on, to continue when their world feels like it's not going to get any better, because there's so much to live for.'

When they decided to start the Hold On project, they didn't know the effects of their video and its lyrics, but a lot of people stop suffering, also the ones that appear on the interviews from the clip. Those parents, sons, daughters, friends, had lost a real family member, they weren't actors, and Good Charlotte wanted it to be so. 'They felt much better when they expressed all their feeling in front of a filming camera. After some days, several called the studio to thank the band about the opportunity they offered them.'

Good Charlotte has been one of the most powerful and enabled group to lift up thousands of guys and girls that has a very black version of their vision in life. They will be one of the very few bands that 'had the guts to write a song about a real problem that covers all the world, and no one seems to care about the pain of the not death victims and families.'

Here you have the lyric:

This world, this world is cold

But you don't, you don't have to go

You're feeling sad, you're feeling lonely

And no one seems to care

You're mother's gone and your father hits you

This pain you cannot bear

But we all bleed the same way as you do

And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on, if you feel like letting go

Hold on, it gets better than you know

Days, you say they're way too long

And your nights, you can't sleep at all

Hold on

And you're not sure what you're waiting for

But you don't want to know more

And you're not sure what you're looking for

But you don't want to know more

But we all bleed the same way as you do

And we all have the same things to go through

Hold on, if you feel like letting go

Hold on, it gets better than you know

Don't stop looking, you're one step closer

Don't stop searching, it's not over

Hold on

What are you looking for?

What are you waiting for?

Do you know, what you're doing to me?

Go ahead, what are you waiting for?

Hold on, if you feel like letting go

Hold on, it gets better than you know

Don't stop looking, you're one step closer

Don't stop searching, it's not over

Hold on, if you feel like letting go

Hold on, it gets better than you know

Hold on
