1970 single by The Guess Who
"Hang On to Your Life" is a song written by Burton Cummings and Kurt Winter and performed by The Guess Who. The song is featured on their 1970 album, Share the Land.[1] The producer was Jack Richardson and the arrangement was by The Guess Who.[2]
On the 8-track tape edition of Share the Land, the song was edited to make it a bit longer in order to fill out the timing on the first channel (a few extra measures appear before each verse).
Background
This song is an anti-drug message. In the chorus section, the phrase: "Oh Life", is repeated a few times, in an echo that fades falsely, depicting a heartbeat. ("Oh Life, Oh Life, Oh Life"). Before the song`s ending, the "Oh" in the phrase is heard stronger, with the repeated phrase fading in the spoken coda section.
At the end of the album version Cummings recites verses 13-15 of Psalm 22. The single version ends just before he speaks.
Chart performance
It reached #5 in Canada[3] and #43 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971.[4] It was also released in the United Kingdom as a single, but it did not chart.[5]
