Be it academics, expectations of my family , or just trying to make ends meet, there were times I felt like the weight of the whole world were on my shoulders. Listening to "Hold my hands" reminds me that walking through life alone is not really ok , it is very important to walk through life with support.
At first, during my teenage years, I thought I had all the time in the world,this led me to taking up bad habits like procrastination but with time , the unpredictability nature of the world dawned on me, I learned if you don't hold on and cherish the thing you love and cherish, you might end up feeling empty and alone.
Leaning on others doesn't mean that you are weak, this period of time while I'm waiting for my NYSC, The urge to do everything on my own is becoming more intense,the thoughts of figuring out my next step on my own is becoming persistent but this song is a kind of reminder to that sharing your struggles with your loved ones is a show of great strength and willpower.
In Nigeria, a lot of things could be considered to be in the dark, economic struggles , personal struggles and challenges. When you have people who genuinely care for you around your side, holding on to this people can help us navigate through this challenges.
MOTIVATION
HOLD MY HANDS BY MICHAEL JACKSON FT AKON.
Michael Jackson
"Hold My Hand" , A song by Michael Jackson & Akon in my own opinion can be said to be an and emotional uplifting song that promotes unity, support and Love.
Although the song was released after the demise of the Legendary Michael Jackson, the song still resonates how powerful companionship is when trying to overcome difficulties.
- Togetherness and Support:
The song promotes seeking emotional support, when people come together, facing challenges becomes more bearable and easier.
- Hope and Positivity:
Staying optimistic in tough times is an act that only the strong can perform. Being optimistic in natural sense can be said to be patience, hardwork , and consistency with the believe that things will get better.
- A Call for Unity:
In this time of the world were war and tribal bigotry is becoming a norm, this song is a call to unity , let us come together and tackle our common enemy. In my country Nigeria, terrorism, bad governance , bad economy , corruption are all part of the problem we face. This song also reminds is that no matter the race or tribe ,we should come together and solve our solution.
Another thing I like about this collaboration
Is the perfect blend of pop and R&B . Making the anthem about compassion and being by our loved ones in terms of challenges to be melodious.
