An uplifting song about perseverance, "Hold On Tight" was the first single from Electric Light Orchestra's TIME album. By this time, they were credited as ELO, downplaying the orchestra because they had jettisoned their string section. The lead instrument on "Hold On Tight" is piano played by group leader Jeff Lynne, who wrote the song.
TIME is a concept album about a time traveler who visits the year 2095. This song takes place on his return trip in 1981. He is inspired, and now knows that everything he needs he can find back home.
The third verse is in French. The translation is: Hold on tight to your dream Hold on tight to your dream When you see your ship go sailing When you feel your heart is breaking Hold tight to your dream
