Derek Hough - Hold On

“Sometimes we think we want to disappear, but all we really want is to be found.“ [2017] After experiencing firsthand the effects of suicide in my extended family, I became curious of the human condition and how we could possibly reach a point where we felt that there was no hope. The thought of someone suffering in silence, feeling alone and feeling like there is no way out breaks my heart. This video represents that isolated loneliness we can often feel... especially in the wake of traumatic events. But in the end it’s about reaching out for help as well as reaching out to help others. When we connect as human beings, we become stronger, and are able to share and let go of the burden one might feel. If you or someone you know is going through a difficult time, don’t be afraid to reach out. Life is definitely worth living. Hold On Pain Ends “Hold On“ is the first solo single written, directed, and performed by me, co-starring Kayla Ewell. © Derek Hough
