about

Bahla are proud to announce the release of “Hold On”, the first single from their upcoming EP 'Life Long' due to be released later this year.

“Hold On” is about learning how to love yourself and reach that place where you find physical and emotional balance. “The song is a throwback to infancy when we can’t say what we need or want, but there’s unconditional love”. says Tal who wrote most of the lyrics for Bahla’s upcoming EP.

lyrics

I'm not sleeping, my eyes are just closed
I'm not lazy, my arms have just evolved
I wont waste my breath out there
I'll just wait for you in here.

I'm not speaking in simple black and white
And it's not easy to tell you what I like
I'm just teething now, forgot what that feels like
Forgot what I get like, in the middle of the night.

Teach me how to sit in sin
If I could jump high I would in a minute
Show me love whilst sitting still
It's on its way, it's on its way

Slipped into a memory, falling
I speak into a melody, forming
From a far I'll never be leaving
Never feed reason. I never believed in

Teach me how to sit in sin,
If i could jump high I would in a minute
Show me love whilst sitting still,
It's on its way, it's on its way.
