about

Holding Pattern is the second single of Spring 2020 by Sydney band Froggy Prinze. The song is about keeping on, when keeping on feels hard. Sometimes a fleeting feeling, a sound, a newspaper headline is all it takes for the past to come rushing up on you, to gate-crash your present.

It's an encouragement for those moments when sometimes getting up and facing the right way is a win. Introducing Lucy Albani on lead vocals, the song showcases a new wrinkle in Froggy's cloak.

lyrics

Holding Pattern (lyrics)

You sounded different when I spoke to you today
It’s hard to pinpoint how but I felt it anyway
You said some headline had been playing on your mind
It brought back home what you had left so far behind
Keep that holding pattern in your heart
As you trace around it in the dark

Just let your feet fall firm and walk straight through the crowd
Don’t you turn left or right till you leave this dusty town
And as you head on down that winding ribbon road
Put their lies aside and let your hope take hold
Keep that holding pattern in your heart
As you trace around it in the dark

Tell yourself
Don’t run, get pushed aside by anyone
Don’t get startled don’t get thrown
Don’t be afraid of being alone
You think you’re going nowhere
But at least you’re pointed home
So keep that holding pattern
Don’t get thrown

Old obligations, they start to wear you down
I didn’t know I could say no
I didn’t know my way around
Just let them keep their buried secrets on their own
They’ll come to look to for you
But you’ve already gone
Keep that holding pattern in your heart
As you trace around it in the dark

Tell yourself
Don’t run, get pushed aside by anyone
Don’t get startled don’t get thrown
Don’t be afraid of being alone
You think you’re going nowhere
But at least you’re pointed home
So keep that holding pattern
So keep that holding pattern
Don’t get thrown
