This song is inspirational and fun to sing some of the parts (I still don't know the whole thing yet). The lyrics aren't deep at all but for an Avril Lavigne song, it's sort of out of place because she usually isn't here to inspire.

Whatever made her write this song (or at the very least, sing it), I'm cool with!!

4 stars.

end note: Why are the other reviewers saying Avril is punk? There isn't one song that I've heard that could possibly give her that description.

I first heard this song on the Movie Eragon and loved it sooo much I had to get it. Thanks Amazon!

First of all, can we get over the craze of inspirational and uplifting music, quickly? Thank you. The song has great lyrics, but the musical and vocal elements to the song all seem overdone, overcooked, and trying too hard. In fact, somebody tried too hard to make this song a hit, which never really caught on, but you hear it on radio constantly, to the point where you cringe every time you hear this song.

And by the way, does anybody else think that an inspirational song from somebody like Avril Lavigne, who is not the best of role models, is just plain wrong? In either case, the song doesn't work, except on a lyrical level, and even that's been done before.

Avril Lavigne's "Keep Holding On" was the unlikely closing song of the sword n' sorcery cheesefest "Eragon." Lavigne's prefab punk was very much out-of-place. Prefab punk&dragons don't exactly mix (neither did "Born to be Wild" and the Rock Eaters in the third Neverending Story movie) "Keep Holding On" holds pride of place as one of Lavigne's least annoying songs. It verges to the sappy&sentimental--but that's in keeping with the movie's sugar-coated ending in which pretty boy Dragonrider Eragon&elf princess Arya gaze lovingly at each other.

"Keep Holding On" is ambiguous. Is it supposed to be the dragon Saphira's song of loyalty to her Rider,Eragon,or is it Arya's love song for Eragon? The lyrics don't quite make sense. The title itself addresses dragon riding,there are verses about standing together in battle. But other lyrics are amorous. Lavigne is no Enya-- but how much can one expect from a Canadian prefab punk? Especially when it comes to a thankless task of writing an inspirational song for a B movie?
