Songs About Holding On And Letting Go

And we're back, with a fresh batch of "Opposites" songs. Today, we're offering a vast selection of songs in a variety of genres linked only by the fact that they have either "Hold On" or "Let Go" (or some derivative of the two) in their titles. Enjoy! (That wasn't a request.)  ~  JH
