Maria Haukaas Storeng – Hold On Be Strong

Hold On Be Strong

Norway 2008 Eurovision Song

 

Hold on be strong
Love can be hard sometimes
Yes, it can catch you off guard like bad crimes
Yes, it can make you depressed and angry
Make you say: “Why me, why won’t anybody try me?”

Might be saying: “Ooh, I don’t wanna be lonely”
“Ooh, I don’t wanna be by myself”
“Ooh, don’t wanna be lonely”
“Why ain’t anybody lovin’ me?”

But there’s always someone out there who’ll be there for you
There is always someone out there who will care for you
There’s always someone out there who’ll be true, true, true
Hold on, hold on, be strong

Love can go away forever if you push it
And you have to remember: don’t rush it
If you’re thinking right, it is wrong
And you’ll be crying: “Why me, why won’t anybody try me?”

You might be saying: “Ooh, I don’t wanna be lonely”
“Ooh, I don’t wanna be by myself”
“Ooh, don’t wanna be lonely”
“Why ain’t anybody lovin’ me?”

Now, but there’s always someone out there who’ll be there for you
And there’s always someone out there who will care for you
There’s always someone out there who’ll be true, true, true
Hold on, hold on, be strong

And yes, there’s always someone out there who’ll be there for you
And there’s always someone out there who will care for you
There’s always someone out there who’ll be true, true, true
Hold on, hold on, be strong

Hold on, hold on, be strong
My child, hold on, hold on, be strong

    She whas the best in Eurovision (Femails and mail’s)
    and she have this cute face and that dress show’s here body but am trying to Ignore it.I love my country sow mutch!!!!!!!!

  3. Honestly I don’t get why people like this song so much.
    For me it was just….boring, nothing special, I felt no emotions from it. It was just….weak. If that’s the correct way to express it.
    And the lyrics are really boring too. They’re nothing special at all. Not the hardest ones to write probably. I don’t know why I feel like this about it really, no offence I didn’t mean to insult anyone by this so please just don’t get offended by it.
    I just can’t feel that she means what she’s singing and I don’t really find the lyrics anything special either. Usually I don’t have to understand the lyrics though. It just feels like a normal song text for some reason which could have been written by any singer and/or songwriter. It feels like a too normal, common song, one of those that maybe could be played on the radio (and it has been played on the radio here in Sweden too)and I normally hate almost all songs that are being played their these days. I am born 1992 but I really dislike most modern music (modern music in the western world that is)these days. But oh well maybe my taste is just completely weird.
    I also have mentioned a lot of times that I prefer songs in native languages cause I don’t have to understand the lyrics as long as I can get the feeling of the song and I also like to hear other foreign languages but well I don’t really know if that’s a big reason. Norwegian is really similar to my native language Swedish anyway..

  4. i love this song so much i feel touched when i hear this song from Maria Haukaas. You know she show the best she can! It doesn’t matter that she did not come in top this time. It’s a challenge that will make her getting even better next time!!

  5. Definitively one of the biggest ballads of ESC this year, She did it so much better in the ESC night that in the festival where she got selected (judging for the video)…Excellent singer and her performance was sweet and clean. Deserved the position she got…Good for Norway!

  6. Finals
    Song 25
    The final song.
    Norway has the biggest number of last places on Eurovision and the country had zero points four times but I don’t think it’s going to be the case this time.

  7. waaaaaaá, I LOOOOVE THIS SONG! from the first moment I heard it, I new that I was falling in love with it!
    And this girl, she is so beautiful, shes just awesome… I will vote for you.. this is one of my favorite song!

  8. Not bad I suppose but I didn’t feel it as anything special, sorry my norwegian neighbours, but you won’t get my vote from sweden (: but congratulations to the final place!
