“Boys In The Street” by Greg Holden

Once in a while you hear a song that just grabs you by the heartstrings and pulls so tight that you are forced to stop everything, sit down, and listen. That kind of moment doesn’t happen often, but when it does you remember it. This is what happened to me when I first heard Greg Holden’s song, “Boys In The Street”. The video, which uses mannequins to portray the story in the song, is equally moving…

Holden is a British singer/songwriter who moved to New York and made his biggest mark yet co-writing the monster hit, “Home”, sung by Phillip Phillips on American Idol in 2012. Holden also wrote “The Lost Boy”, a song inspired by the Dave Eggers’s novel, “What Is The What”, which also appeared on the hit show, “Sons of Anarchy”.

“Boys In The Street” is taken from Greg Holden’s 2015 album, “Chase The Sun”.

“Chase The Sun” is packed with terrific songs, including the lead off single from earlier this year called, “Hold On Tight”. Also noteworthy is the soaring “A Wonderful World” the Bob Dylan styled tune, “I Won’t Forget”.
