Dierks Bentley可以說是我最喜歡的鄉村男歌手之一～ 他的聲音總是透露了一股真誠不做作的感覺～ 初次聽到他的歌時候是他首張專輯的第一支單曲"What was I thinkin"這首歌也同時為他拿下了他的第一支鄉村榜冠軍～ 整首歌很生動的描述了男生為了喜歡的女生捲進了一連串瘋狂事件的故事～ 從出道到現在他共出了7張專輯發行了19支單曲而其中有10首鄉村榜冠軍～ 他將在今年2月底發行他的第8張專輯"Riser"~ 在剛開始製作這張專輯的時候他經歷了父親過世的低潮～ 而在專輯幾近完成的時候他的兒子出世～ 因為如此他在這張專輯中放入了更多的自身經歷～ 這首來自新專輯的單曲"I hold on"就是個最好的例子～ 他把自己從一個小鎮沒沒無名的男孩到追逐自己的夢想而成名～ 卻沒有因成名而失去自我～ 一切都是因為他緊抓著自己的信念及對家人的親情～ 這些內容你都能夠在這支自傳式的Music Video中看到～ ----- Dierks Bentley - I hold on Its just an old beat up truck Some say that I should trade up Now that I got some jangle in my pocket But what they don't understand Is it's the miles that make a man I wouldn't trade that thing in for a rocket What they don't know is my dad and me We drove her out to Tennessee And she's still here and now he's gone So I hold on Its just an old beat up box It's rusty strings across the top It probly don't look like much to you But these dents and scratches in the wood Yea that's what makes it sound so good To me its better than brand new You see this here flat top guitar's Had my back in a million bars Singing every country song So I hold on To the things, I believe in My faith, your love, our freedom To the things I can count on To keep me going strong Yeah I hold on, I hold on Like the stripes to the flag Like a boy to his dad I can't change who I am, right or wrong So I hold on Baby lookin' at you right now There ain't never been no doubt Without you I'd be nothing So if you ever worry about, me walkin' out Yeah let me tell you something I hold on, I hold on Can you hear me baby, I hold on Yeah, I hold on To the things, I believe in My faith, your love, our freedom To the things I can count on To keep me going strong To the things, I believe in My faith, your love, our freedom To the things I can count on To keep me going strong Yeah I hold on, I hold on I hold on I hold on and on and on and on and on I hold on and on and on and on and on
