Single Review: “Hang On, Hang On” by Amos Lee

The greatest tragedies often yield the most passionate works of art, in whatever form they happen to come in. One of the latest examples of that (and a prime one at that) is “Hang On, Hang On”, the most recent single from My New Moon, Amos Lee’s seventh studio album that will be released on August 31st (via Dualtone Music Group). The skillful Lee keeps the song ambiguous enough so that there is no definitive message, ensuring that it can be open to interpretation so that listeners can derive whatever they need to from it. Therein lies the power that “Hang On, Hang On” so masterfully wields, because it can mean a host of things, all of which come from deep within the heart. “We never failed you, even though we might have felt that way. We never left you, but it hurt to see you in so much pain.” That second verse alone could have several different meanings. For example, it could be construed as coming from the perspective of friends or family who are watching someone they care for fall deeper into, say, addiction. It could be them saying they were always there for the individual, never turning their back on them despite feeling as if they had let them down.

Other segments cast it in a light of being a love song, or at least a song reminiscing about a former love and how things might have turned out had the path the pair was on not diverged. Just about anything you could need “Hang On, Hang On” to be it is, though the true meaning behind it is incredibly more visceral than any aforementioned examples, and it is evident throughout every second of the stunning masterpiece. At its core, this is a song about loss. A song about losing someone who has been one of the most significant figures in your life and being there with them in their final hours. In this case that someone was Lee’s grandmother, as he candidly discussed in a Facebook post. It’s from that perspective that “Hang On, Hang On” becomes such a vivid and vibrant track, Lee crooning about the difficulty of seeing someone you care for in such a state while also alluding to the sort of comfort that comes with being there for them. “And I would've stayed there forever, but it didn't work out that way,” goes one line, Lee delivering it rather soulfully and filling it with a sense of serenity and peace, the pain and hurt lingering underneath. Simultaneously, it can be read as not being with them, separated from your loved one by distance, instead somewhat pleading with them to hang on as you make your way back to them. Both are just as powerful in their right, and surely every listener can connect to it in one of those ways. Through it all Lee invests himself wholly in his performance, giving it as much heart and emotion as he can possibly muster. The content may be somber, and that mood is conveyed, though there is some sort of glimmer of hope that he emits; his voice sounding gorgeous as he carefully enunciates each word. (The fact that many of the breaths he takes are audible further contributes to the authenticity of it all.) He’s restrained but deeply soulful, adequately capturing the gravity of the situation, how raw and sad moments like that can be but also how fulfilling, knowing you’re there for that person. Accenting it all is the beautiful instrumentation. The keys and the acoustic guitar are carefully coordinated in order to bolster the emotive nature of the track and make it as striking as possible. The final result is something ethereal; the piano lying in the background as it carefully comes and goes when necessary, coalescing to make the more impassioned moments just that, more impassioned, while also trailing off, barely even noticeable under the gentle strumming of the acoustic. “Hang On, Hang On” is a stupendous song all the way around. It’s of such a remarkable caliber that it’s the type of song every artist aspires to write at least once during their career, but also the type that remains the most elusive. Lee managed to bring all of the necessary pieces together for it though, turning one of the most excruciating circumstances a person can go through into a song that is the epitome of beauty. There’s heartache and pain but also hopefulness and acceptance, that glimmer of hope it exudes centering on celebrating a life well lived, even while grieving for the loss of that person. My New Moon is being declared as Amos Lee’s most intimate and personal collection of songs to date, a claim that is bolstered significantly by this single. And it does seem poised to become his greatest album to date.
