It's been like...what, 10 days since my last Hold Stready post...way too long, I concur.This one is not only the title track off of their latest record(available now on Itunes - the hard copy drops in July) but it serves as a sort of 'state of the band' address and a big lover letter to their fans.The song revisits several lyrics and song title from older HS songs.

I believe that I forget things ...
