“You Don’t Have to Stand” Song by Ken Holt: A Gentle Americana Reflection on Grace and Emotional Healing

Americana musician Ken Holt from Jacksonville, FL, is continuing to build a reliable history as a songwriter, full of emotion and grace, with “You Don’t Have to Stand.” "This song is the second song to come from Holt and the label MTS Records." After his first single "I Did Not Know," released in March 2020, still charts, "You Don't Have to Stand" offers another release from his newly formed album Shades of Light.

“You Don’t Have to Stand” provides both deep intimacy and the universality of human experience. It is a song that began as a line in conversation but took shape into something far more impactful. Following in the direction of other emotional ballads in recent summer releases, Holt continued to write simple and approachable lyrics, such as in line as calm and soothing as a warm memory, "If it starts to feel good, you don't have to stand. "With profundity this line leads, with love without expectation.

The track features tasteful contributions from Kricket Moros on violin, whose classical background sits firmly atop the rest of the sounds, and Mike Greier on drums and bass, recorded at his Ocala-based Recording Ranch.

Holt's expressive vocals and acoustic guitar serve as a guide through a tranquil space, fusing sounds with the ethos of Americana. And “You Don't Have to Stand” is not a song; it is understanding.
