Synopsis

Jon Anderson fronts an upbeat, theatrical performance built around "Hold On to Love." The video alternates between Anderson singing as the central figure and staged appearances by dancers and a full band, giving the song the feel of a polished television musical number rather than a conventional narrative. The colorful presentation emphasizes the track's accessible pop character, while the ensemble setting places Anderson in the role of a charismatic showman surrounded by movement, musicians, and carefully arranged performance tableaux.

Factoids & Trivia

  • The song was co-written by Anderson and Lamont Dozier, the Motown songwriter and producer known for his work with Holland-Dozier-Holland.
  • Chris Squire appears in the video as an acoustic bass player, giving the clip a notable Yes connection even though it is presented as an Anderson solo project.
  • The video uses the title "In the City of Lost Angels" on screen, differing from the actual album title, *In the City of Angels*.
  • The performance was filmed at S.I.R. Studios on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood.

Lyrics

There you have it
You see this love regretting
There's something wrong again
But you had it
In the palm of your hand

Your heart has started bleeding
You gotta get out
You're leaving
You're on your own forever

It's not the space or time or whether
You can leave
