Alex Day - Holding On

[magicsparklyunicorns]

When he said sidebar, his face was like, ?????

[jadeisthesky]

I love watching this video over and over again because 1) the song is lovely 2) Alex always has funny expressions 3)I'm quite fond of how the video was put together 4)Tom is extra adorable in it

[26Staples]

nice bobblehead xD

[yknowthatgirl]

I like the John Green bobble head.

[Georgie1126]

my friend told me to listen to this as its how he feels about me :\ akward times!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but very sweet xx

[Gossipgirl1608]

alex day + tom milsom = absolute awesomeness

[AwsomeMarnie]

Wkd

[LAWLoROFL]

A million miles I'll travel just to get you in my bed. oh shit i forgot the words

[Gossipgirl1608]

@LAWLoROFL i guess there's not many people who can understand that reference...

[LAWLoROFL]

@Gossipgirl1608 do you understand it?

[Gossipgirl1608]

@LAWLoROFL yeah... duh.

[tsunayoshisawada]

L!

[leighia1]

love this song!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iliketobestrange]

Just noticed on his guitar it says: "I'm going to rape you face cause I'm awesome."

...Don't quite know what to say to that...

[Kamiikaze12]

Alex Day master of playing the egg!

[SarahWhovian]

:') this ish so awesome! :33

[Aislinn735]

And it sounds amazing!

[Aislinn735]

Fuck. Tom and Alex in one video! And playing music! -3

[SoccerGirl29995]

"So I'll play until the strings of my guitar give out, and I'll be aching from the pain of trying to pretend. Even if I know I'll never be your leo, I'll keep holding on." <3 LKAHFKLASHDFALKHDFJALSDHFAJDFH­ALKJDHFAKL FAVOURITE SONG NOW.

[clarameyer1234]

Alex plays the table so beautifully. :})

[CrushedDoughnut]

L

Sighn On Geetar ^-^!-3

[SwedishLink]

I am hot for Nerimon even though the time is out <3

[Emily21134]

@SwedishLink wait.....what do you mean the time is out? 

[KATIEthePANDAmonkey]

This song is so beautiful, plus Alex has a really sexy voice. I love this song. <3

[RainyCitySongs]

I have that motherfudging microphone! N'aaw i love how it's not even switched on in this video, green light should be on :') Love for Alex <3

[IlovedogsEMS]

alex likes me <3

[magnifiquemonkey]

This is such a beautiful song. I just don't understand why all the songs in the charts are just stupid meaningless songs about sex and such when songs like this exist in the world <3

[Rubbaduckie92]

Call me crazy, but I think the line about playing for her until his guitar gives out is so sweet!

[mccartneygirl151]

Am I the only one who gets reminded of Citizen Erased by muse from the chorus? :3

[balloooonatic]

@mccartneygirl151 haha it's so weird you said that because muse are my favourite band in the world and citizen erased is my favourite song but i had never thought this song sounded like citizen erased. in what way does it?

[mccartneygirl151]

@balloooonatic Haha well the chords are the exact same in the chorus to citizen erased x)

[sgtfwoods]

Alex dresses very differently now

[XxDollyBluexX]

Oh my god. Watch this with captions on..."generation doesn't insist confidence intervals". I guess the accent + the fact that it's a song confuses it or something...xD

Doesn't make the song any less brilliant, though. :)

[babymaus2]

OMG i don't like it...i LOVE it!!! <3

[breakfastpancakes]

he said he likes me :3

[Ehliafly]

yeah Bobble-John! DFTBA

[personifyingchaos]

This is the theme song of all of us in the friend zone.

[fleur1492]

If a teacher asks, why I don't make my homework I would show him this video :)

[smiletimes3]

I probably love your music way more than a mentally healthy person should.

[candiluver683]

I just bought the song :) probably one of my favourite songs by you xxx

[merksmirs]

.... I love this song so much. And I didn't even know the amazing video yet

[cupcakes1348]

I'll keep holding on, John Green bobble-head.

[Erectotoad]

Although I still love Alex's music and Forever Yours was brilliant, i do prefer this sound to his new

[medslarge]

its as if he's singing to John Green at some point haha 

[secnarfnosnhoj]

2:54

[AlixTengusaXD]

Like if you think this song is about Alex & Tom's gay love because it's a duet between them.

[TheGoodGoneGirl18]

Alex is so happy with his egg. :D

[iliketobestrange]

@Hayyleyy8P It's "I'll never be your Leo"

[SonsofAdmiralettes]

<3 u Alex,

from the Nermies.

[whitewashedlife]

I quite like you Alex Day; you are alright.

[xlilbabyleannex]

D'awww he looks so shy and cute at the end of this video x3

[bbd0304]

Hot for nerimon looooooool

[rubyredrosebud]

i don't usually like alex's music but this is something else

[bellatrixhatesbeeing]

@rubyredrosebud are you crazy all of alex's songs are the best

[rubyredrosebud]

@bellatrixhatesbeeing his songs are good, don't get me wrong! they're just not my type, if you understand

[Hayyleyy8P]

I can't quite understand him when he says, " and even if I know, I'll never be ______" does Anybody know what he is saying??

[Pluxu]

@Hayyleyy8P Google'd the lyrics:

And even if I know

I'll never be your Leo

I'll keep holding on

[pbjellybeanful]

oh, and the faces you make in this video are amazing.

[pbjellybeanful]

CUUUTTTEEE this is one of my favorite songs ever

[BABYZEBRALOVE]

cute! and ur friends are in it! yay! XD

[itemariofsand8]

Cherimon. Nuff said.

[itemariofsand8]

Cutest song EVAR.

[AnimeLuver1397]

@nerimon what does your guitar say next to L?

[NerdAndProud986]

This is great!!=D

[jhubeJELLO]

I was here when he first uploaded this. This was the first time I ever heard of Tom. Ohh maann, this was not in 2009, was it?

[KATIEthePANDAmonkey]

This song makes me feel so in love with Alex and his music. I could honestly listen to this song over and over again for hours.

[KSW725]

@smileybabe159

Actually it refers to Leo Borlock from Stargirl.

[smileybabe159]

@KSW725 oops! (Just an assumption, I wasn't completely sure!)

[tommakesmusicnow]

@smileybabe159 I like your idea better =)

[SarahRamonexxx]

@smileybabe159 he once said its a reference to a book called Stargirl, Leo is the protaganist , and the girl is an eccentric compassionate manic-pixie-dreamgirl type:)

[balloooonatic]

@smileybabe159 i thought that too but then i thought that it would be jack not leo

[EricaCookies]

@smileybabe159 It's a reference to Stargirl - by Jerry Spinelli

[LugzPercy]

The days when it was a sidebar...

[snapeditful]

@GeorgiaAndFez yeah i know, but i listen to them both. And this is, accrding me, by far the best from either of them, of tom aswell..

[TheTacosAreCold]

Aww. Tom is being so adorable when he's playing the xylophone.

[snapeditful]

my fav song from both alex & charlie, love it

[GeorgiaAndFez]

@snapeditful 'From both Alex & Charlie'... this song was by Alex, produced by Tom... Charlie really wasn't onvolved in the actual song at all :)

[AnimeLuver1397]

OMG I just saw L on his guitar... I think I'm in love haha yay Death Note!!

[DeathByMyNote]

@AnimeLuver1397 You gotta love him for that!! <3<3

[AnimeLuver1397]

@DeathByMyNote oh yeah L is amazing!!

[PurpleKoalaBearGamer]

@AnimeLuver1397 Looks like Ryuk to me.

[0YellowSunglasses0]

Alex is just so chilled. Like, he's playing a box as an instrument!

[OliveYou2Much]

im debating whether or not i should buy this on itunes hmmm

[laxgurl271]

@OliveYou2Much Do it. (: Or better yet, buy "Forever Yours" and get him to number one. All proceeds go to charity...besides, he deserves it. (:

[1boredenglishteen]

Ah, i remember when this popped up in my subscriptions :3

[SomeoneGuy100]

Why the sarcastic grin when mentioning Charlie, Alex?

[tobymeroney]

the microphone he is using is amazing, and only about £70, check out my channel for a test and review :D

[InsanityAchieved]

Alex Day likes me.. xB

[quadraticgiraffe]

I've decided to send all the potential Nermlings to this :P

[hollabooiers]

@quadraticgiraffe Eff yeah, I'm about to do just that. You just hold on. Pun intended.

[WaterBottle1998]

This video from start to finish is oozing with just brilliant awesome yummy funny sweet

BROMANCE

[itssosarahh]

I love this so much, i'm going to download it soon. You're so wonderful and you look so gorgeous in this video.

[joofficer]

[misszacefronable]

There should be more gifs of this video.

[poben123]

Dancing John Green xD

[ThePowerOfTheMonkey]

Stargirl <3

Although, I never understood why in the book, Stargirl liked Leo so much.

He was sort of a douchebag

[emmavictoria96]

Yayyyy, we have the same guitar XD also love this song!!



[sha2424]

WOAH WOAH WOAH. Could you REALLY ride across the sky on a bicycle built for two??? Does that mean you've actually learned how to riide one??? :O

[wardrobefear]

Tom + Alex = <3<3<3<3

[nicola9955]

I love you!! yorur amazing!!! 

[SuperSaiyanJocey]

[xKiraaaax]

this is literally one of my favourite songs !:)

[mzbluesky92]

I love the egg

[bezsramnica]

you rock, man! HI from Bulgaria!!! :)

[TheAlhamm11]

What happened to these shirts?

If you're a nerimon lover/obsessor/etc. then we all know that mysteriously Alex only wears consistently a few shirts, lol where did these go?!

As fans we should send him items of awesome clothing ;)

[missinspiredgamer]

If it wasn't for Charlie and Tom, I wouldn't have seen this channel. Alex, your voice is amazing :)

[MadBunny179]

1:30 - I'm going to rape your face, Cause I'm awesome. LOL!!! :D

[RAHHicecream]

I've literally listened to all of the things by you Alex, why haven't i heard this one D:

[HollyStowell]

@nerimon , why do you shake an egg?!

[Biffygirl1997]

Like this if you think Alex Day is seriously un-appreciated. :) Cause he is...

[ThingsAtPlaces]

I love the glockenspiel in this song! :D

[gulnara93rus]

Cool :)

[massizme]

As hot as you are already, everyone gets +45 hot points just by holding a guitar.

[blacksnowhitequeen]

@massizme +45 points? Man, Biffygirl1997 is right. He is seriously under appreciated. The guitar adds at LEAST 100 points. :P

[cestlavie12411]

I wish everyone knew how great you are Alex!

[misstheo1233]

holding on got 600,000 veiws in 2 years, forever yours got 600,000 views in 2 days XD

[socorrolime]

Man this is adorable. I could watch Alex all day.

[instrumentalheart]

Hold on, is this video so old that Tom's hair is still blond?

[GameDroid98]

@instrumentalheart Nah, its green.

[Mikazha]

Love your capo! :3

[sleepymusicaddict]

tom is so cute :)

[karabethany]

When i am 50 and alone I will blame you for setting a really high standard to judge guys against ...

[sleepymusicaddict]

leo = leonardo dicaprio

"keep holding on" = "never let go, jack"

incepted once again!

[LilyTheAnnoyance]

@sleepymusicaddict Incepted...I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE

[BellaSolveig]

Can I please kiss you?

[HottForNerimon]

Hello, Alex, darling, I am trying hard to learn this song but I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out what chords go where. If it could be possible, I would find it very helpful if you could make a lyric sheet showing where the chords are. Pretty please! <3 and thank you very much if you do! <3 xoxo

[MotyQuest]

@HottForNerimon the chords are in a section under Alex's website ^_^ - AlexDaymusic. com then into chords/lyrics :) x

[HottForNerimon]

@MotyQuest I know but I'm a stupid person and I can't find exactly where the chords are. SO I need a lyric sheet telling me exactly where there are. :P

[MotyQuest]

@HottForNerimon I tried to post the chords to the lyrics via a comment for you but it ai't working. The changes, chord changes, are from c to am at "my head", then from am-e at "forget", then goes back to c for "you":

c

A million and one thousand things are screaming in my

Am

head And I can’t seem to

e

forget, can’t stop thinking about

c

you

then once you're in the rthym the rest of the verse is easy; just repeats :)

[MotyQuest]

@HottForNerimon

Then, for the chorus, the chord changes are a bit faster; the chord sequence goes throughout every line (where I've separated the lines is when the chord changes happen - at and, single, by, wish, watch and the rest)

and not a

single day goes

 by when i don't wish for you to

watch me pause to

find the words to

steal your heart away

etc

[MotyQuest]

@HottForNerimon then, there's the proper chorusy bit, where it goes:

c

and even

g if I know

(em, f) etc but I think the end of the chorus goes c g c

hope this has sorta helped, I think i've got it right anywho, this is usually how I play it :)

DFTBA x

[HottForNerimon]

@MotyQuest That does help! Thanks very much! XD <3

[MotyQuest]

@HottForNerimon haha, you're welcome ^_^

[adorablejule]

i think this is your best song and its just wonderful and you are cool and i want a chocolate cake.

[Clocks1coldplay]

This is my fav love song it's so sweet -3 I love you Alex and I sang this song over and over thourgh my break up same with someone like you I think sing thos songs helped 45% thourgh the break up :)

[shatteredrain1]

Great capo ;)

[DracoMhuuh]

Like if you just watched and thought deamn it I wanted that percentage

[HungryLionCAT]

John bobble head!

[skatinanwaitin]

1:27 The cake is a lie. Lol jk. Alex wouldn't do that.

[FlargTheKitty]

Someone needs to make a giff out of 2:40.

[XxDollyBluexX]

@FlargTheKitty

Oh, Absolutely! Someone needs to get on that right away...!

[Pyromaniac042]

@FlargTheKitty i'm totally doing that :D

[dav1n7hule]

@Pyromaniac042 PM me it if you do :D I wanna use that on forums xD

[peachypie53]

Alex you are absolutely perfect. Why is it that every song you write describes my mood?

[AmieWiz1996]

@hairycheese1 slipknot are shit and your name is hairy cheese.. I think that explains what kind of person you are.

[Biffyhetalia98]

1:04 L <3 Alex, I love you so muuucch!

[WhatDaPezzCharite]

[ThePrettyDiamond]

[narwhalgod]

Favourite song by Alex :) 

[Moonlightshadow333]

Alex, watch out, your iphone almost fell down at the end lol xD

[keylimecupcake1998]

i love it

[mrfishy192112]

I never know what to watch in these types of videos. I usually watch them about 4 or 5 times so I can see exactly what he's doing in each little box hhhaha

[psh4lfe]

all i can thnk about is georgia, and i can only imagine you wrote this song for her...

[HannahIsUnoriginal]

@psh4lfe You should watch the 'Georgia' video, Georgia is a random girl Alex has never met.

[psh4lfe]

@HannahIsUnoriginal i know and its right before this one thats why this song made me think of her.

[ellieandjimmy]

Why when he says 'The amazingly lovely charlieissocoollike is my FRIEND' He seemed really happy about charlie being his friend....

[NinjaSiblings001]

If this song was a carrot, id eat the carrot

if alex was a potato, i'd devour that potato

[fishfriendsYeah]

why are you so addictive?

[hungergameslol]

TOOOOM

[EpicGeorgiaYeaahh]

Added to favorites.. :)

[EpicGeorgiaYeaahh]

LOVE THIS SONG. + The vid is great!!

[TheLovelyMonibot]

ALEX DAY - THIS SONG WILL BE PLAYED AT MY WEDDING! just thought i'd tell you :) <3

[tomomatick117]

the clue is tom is in the vid

[MsRemuslupin]

Why 'Leo'?

[cutiez4eva1]

<3 I LOVE THIS SONG <3

[zillantese]

the awkward moment when the drum kit walks in and sees a table guitar and box being hit

[Freyalikestea]

A million miles I'd travel just to get you in my bed...

[thealiachen]

really good :)!

[Gryffindor004]

2:22 never fails to make me laugh. I just find it so hilarious :')

[ImagineRevolution64]

After watching so much Charlie and Tom, sometimes I forget just how hot Alex is too.

[tommyisadragon]

@ImagineRevolution64 I suggest you recognize their musical talents as more important and noteworthy than their appearances.
