[bobmuse40]

WORD!!!!!!

[laschonni3]

This song is very exciting and compelling with strong rhythm and meloziyata despite somein restriction in velue inbefore clip

[snipedog]

This bring back memories.......

[guardianofhell]

why are there no songs like this any more iam a metal head but my roots are in what is now called classic rock we need more bands like this or bands like this to return teach the young kids on facebook that music is not throw away like todays

[SkatingGreenDayFan]

I'm 11 and I like this WAYYYYYYYY better than the crap on the radio today.... o-O Awesome...

[k3lso0o]

more cow bell 

[jonhunter1969]

freakin awesome, after all these years! been listening to this song over the years since I was maybe 10'ish (not sure on the math) but since I was a kid anyway. 42 now and still gives me goosebumps it so fuckin' awesome! genious...

[IcouldBNE1]

Cowbell and Hammond B3 organ. Nice combination.

[R0adrobber]

Cowbell at 2:20. Again at 4.52. 

[R0adrobber]

Any song with a cowbell is a great song! Needs even more cowbell.

[Linastrana]

This is the song of Life!!! its a guild line we all should live by

[liquidgee13]

I was 10 or 11 when this came out. Always played this tune in my mind when teachers and parents gave me grief if my grades weren't up to their standards (I'd tell them I'm the same integrity if I get an A+ or F-), kept it playing when the jocks, the geeks, and every other group sneered at me for "not fitting in". Glad I did ... I'm going to be 50 in a few months and am doing shitloads better than most of the above are.

[1Ljubica]

I remember this from my early teen years - great song.

[renrutjw]

Scottrade stole it for a commercial.  Brilliant !

[jonhunter1969]

@renrutjw for once I was actually happy that someone paid the royalties and used it to sell something (I asked my friends if they'd seen the commercial and they looked @ me like I was crazy.)thank you for posting the video!! btw, what was the ad trying to sell?

[hungrylikethewolf23]

music will probably never be good as this again

[742Brian]

@hungrylikethewolf23 I feel the same

[elvispresley718]

[towergrove100]

[Nicwizz]

Brilliant song. Haven't heard it for years and it sounds just as good as I remember. Infact better because of all the crap going around at the moment.

[Gary1957ful]

Isnt it amazing how a song can have so many meanings to so many people, For me it was just a great song and still is. Thanks.

Sincerly, Gary

[robnrick1]

[boywaimea]

great song. reminds me when i was rebellious as a teenager back in the 60's and 70's

[Delivered0ne]

Another from the Barrett days in Fair Oaks, Ca.

Perfect following after 'Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress', just like the radio station 1240 KROY played back in '74.

I know you remember -

[rexrockandroll]

WE ALL HAVE TO HOLD OUR HEAD UP, THROUGH ADVERSITY, PAIN, DISPAIR, LOSS, EVERYTHING THAT HAS BROUGHT US DOWN..ITS HARD TO DO, BUT NOW I HAVE TO DO IT MORE THAN EVER..TOO BAD IT TOOK ME SOOOO LONG TO DO, BUT THAT DAY IS HERE....

INDEPENDENCE...THE ONLY THING, BESIDES $ IN LIFE THAT MAKES SENSE...CAN BE PROBLEMATIC ALSO, BUT MORE THAN WORTH IT...

PETE..LONG ISLAND....

[enginebelly]

@rexrockandroll Be brave. Be honest. Be kind. Gives to those who need. Share your pain with others and half the time to heal.

[rocky1976ize]

[Malachy896]

GREAT CLASSIC TUNE.................

[Awolfx]

I remember the first time i heard this was on "History Rocks" on the History channel.

[boywaimea]

70s great years of music and this one is no exception. everybody would get on the floor and dance. this song never dies

[divisorplot]

hold your head high (phonetics) must be iggy pop! 

[wordreet]

All the years in between the time I bought the single when if was first released and hearing it right here, make no difference to this stunning song! Awesomness!

[FloridaLizardQueen]

How can anyone dislike this song??

[shujikotaro]

Kickass! and at the same time inspirational...

[driekkus1]

hammond  !!!!!

[yordoDj28]

[FWW7450]

Always dug this music.

[lazur1]

1:46 is my favorite organ fill on the tune. Saw these guys live c'72. Of course, you can't necessarily expect a great player to do the same riff in the same part of a tune, but I was anxious to hear -whatever-. When the time came, no riff at all: Rod was brushing his long hair out of his eyes . Now THAT'S improvisation!

[unclwldo]

(note to self!) ... ;^)

[gravelbaypost]

3 dead people

[JOLENE2008]

how the hell 3 people!? not like this song!? this song is a classic!? get off the planet you no life 3 people!

[ke228]

[barbj7121]

[GoodTimeGal1975]

Self empowerment rock!

[55ou812]

love it, when the guitar comes back in at 4:37

[Richieman11]

Is this good or is this fooking good? 

[MrHudson54]

There are 3 faggots with bad taste.

[rpy76]

"HOLD YOUR HEAD UP" "WHOA"

"HOLD YOUR HEAD UP" "WHOA"

"HOLD YOUR HEAD UP" "WHOA"

"HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH"

[marillion1]

Saw them last night in Southampton - original line up - Ballard looks like he's 30 not 65 . Talent oozes from these guys - no egos either - tanks for a great night.

[pablogeebee1]

[Nedgorer1974]

ההמנון

[okieNDNgurl]

This song came out when I was young and catching crap from everywhere, the rich kids at school, the white girls at church, the stuck up adults who didn't want to be bothered by a poor Indian girl living in the city... this song was a lifeline at that time!

[WELLBRAN]

@okieNDNgurl I can remember my life like that at the time also

[mystripesinusa]

@okieNDNgurl sorry that happen to you . Been there to .Seen the truth from the church lol .No good in it .I will stand for the one true God from the begining. When something happen to them say not a word . Bless is you

[imajeepster]

@okieNDNgurl great story, music was like that for me too...like the only thing that didn't get up my @ss.

There's an old expression...keep your head up like you're sniffing pies in heaven.

[greenwalt1954]

@okieNDNgurl GOOD FOR YOU MY SISTER! YOU MADE IT THIS FAR KEEP GOING!

[bedrijfsconsult]

great song! when I'm a little depressed, I just listen to this and it helps...

[flipside1545]

[MrFLAVINICO]

[lebow1]

WHERE'S ," SCHOOLGIRL"?

[Hapiii2001]

VERY POWERFUL INDEED

[Hapiii2001]

Very Powerful indeed!!!!! This applies to each one of us.

[DJPaulV]

Today - National Coming Out Day 2010 - let's dedicate this video to all the gay kids being bullied and taunted and made to feel less than human! Take these (still powerful) lyrics to heart, and --

HOLD YOU HEAD UP!

[Samaritanable]

I like the picture of the eagle - the King of birds soaring confidently in the sky !

[Samaritanable]

A nice apache song. Hold your head up like a proud apache. ha ha !

Thanks for posting ! Love ya.

[formervfwgirl]

great song- whenever i feel the weight of the world on my shoulders i blast this- it really is empowering:) great song.

[uplifter1000]

@formervfwgirl

Yes - and I send it to those whom I feel need a lift ~ you cannot say it often enough - yes, Hold Your Head Up!!

Love and Light ~

[kitterkat00]

fantastic! - holding my head up and holding..........

[blagger56]

HMS Ganges, 1972 relaxing at the bowling alley...memories

[mundomc1]

Im a Disco guy, eventually got caught endearing songs from another genres, this song is nice, the singing and the lyrics, but too much strings make me feel nervous, whit the universe of options I think that I will hardly try to play it again.

[ilovethe80stoo]

This is the jam right here! Been having a tough time these past few days, well, this song has made it a little better to deal with.

[RuthieTalk]

lovin it I am playing it today ...to hold my head up

@RuthieAppleby

[wontgoaway]

Eternal.

[KSESP]

I love the Eagle in the instrumental section

[hippiegleek]

i randomly have this song in my head atm >.<

[gusgorilla76]

Great to hear this again. This was in the charts when I was going through a period of severe bullying in school, with all the lies and nastinesses. Since then, "Hold Your Head Up" has been one of my life's anthems. Anyone who's going through it, be it in school, home, work, or anywhere: set your life to the rhythm and words of this song and don't let the bullies win!

[brendandawna]

always reminds me of summer camp

[jws54]

me and them all went fishing and rabbit hunting together yesterday

[olytanis]

An all-time great song written by keyboardist & former Zombie Rod Argent & Chris White (bass). The keyboard solo in the middle is one of the best of all rock in my opinion. A very sad thing is that when the song is cut, some of the best of that solo is eliminated. Thanks for posting the full version.

[09hanley]

Heard this on the radio just today on radio 2 ( don't ask me why) in tesco car park. Made me so confident I skived the rest of the day.

[shastapopinc]

Speaking of retro - remember Shasta? We're back on TV for the first time since the 80s, check out at sneak peek right here on Y/T at "Heads Up Shasta". Spot will break later this summer.

[RuthieTalk]

oh yeah...tweeting this puppy out hugs xxxoo

[jazzsax1965]

I've always liked this song but could never catch the name of the artist or group, now I know.

[davo2003hd]

I have heard this song since 1972 , first time I've knew all the lyrics. Greater than ever! Thanks.

[papafrank59]

the quality of the sound is excellent considering

[primogennaio]

Love it. The instrumental part is idyllic. What I wouldn't give to bring back those days of the 1950s, 1960s and early 70s and its brilliant music. Today's music can't come close to what we heard in those days. Thanks for making the song and lyrics available.

[LampoonedHerd]

@1976 rewind index

[LampoonedHerd]

^^ encontrado ^^

[Janadu]

Love this song. It's 1972, I'm 16 and spending a great summer with my friends in NJ. The summer of my first kiss--and ultimately my first heartbreak! This song just brings it all back. Awesome.

[bondsee]

yeah !! just another great song from a great decade "70"s

Great song. Love it. I heard this on the oldies station the other day and fucking blasted it.

[blackopsrule]

this is the song they should have had for the rumble in the outsiders

[CuuijqyMuruqdte]

The intro to this song always reminded me of like an Indian tribe getting pumped up and ready to go kick the pale mans ass somewhere out in the plains. XD

[terrafirma91]

This had very good stereo separation. This sounds better on this YT upload than on the CD. How'd they do that? Stars.

[chg657]

Late summer, 1972. WFLI, Lookout Mountain/ Chattanooga. Oh, yeah, remember it well...
