Hold Each Other (feat. Futuristic)

“Hold Each Other” by A Great Big World, featuring Futuristic, is a heartfelt exploration of love's transformative power. The song begins with a nostalgic reflection on past moments and the longing for simpler times. The lyrics, “I miss the words we used to say, I miss the sounds of yesterday,” evoke a sense of yearning for a time when life felt more carefree and connected. This sets the stage for the song's central theme: the profound impact of holding and being held by a loved one.

As the song progresses, it shifts from a general sense of nostalgia to a more specific and personal narrative. The lines, “Something happens when I hold her, She keeps my heart from getting older,” highlight the rejuvenating and comforting effect of physical closeness. This sentiment is echoed in the chorus, emphasizing that holding each other provides warmth and solace, especially during colder, more challenging times. The repetition of “We hold each other” underscores the importance of mutual support and the strength found in togetherness.

Futuristic’s verse adds another layer to the song, addressing societal judgments and the challenges faced by the couple. His lyrics, “People judged us they couldn't see the connection, When I look at you, it's like I'm looking back at my reflection,” speak to the deep, intrinsic bond that transcends external perceptions. This verse also touches on themes of growth and appreciation, as he acknowledges past mistakes and the value of their current relationship. The song ultimately celebrates love's ability to heal, unite, and provide a sense of home, regardless of external circumstances.
