This is an example of how much you have grown since the original HOAA as a musician and as a person, it's so beautiful

Why Do We Hold Resurrection still Slaps!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Resurrection is abliss!!!!❤ IRIS Is back baby 😎😎

This is nostalgia!

*It's been five years since this song came out for the first time, and to this day , With this remake, it's still too good, it makes me so nostalgic, since it's a song from the first album IRIS* ❤

It’s funny that I was listening to the original version when I saw this notification pop up. Immediately clicked and was not dissatisfied in the slightest. Keep it up man.

I think what I love most about this version is that it takes the best of both previous versions. The "I will follow" lyric and the better power and distinction in the vocals from the original, and the fancy new additions from the 2019 remake, alongside even more new additions and better mixing in this version. Truly the definitive version. I'm excited to see how HOAA Resurrection turns out this time around!

The fact that we now have 3 versions of this song is amazing😂

SHEER BRUTALITY

Heart of an artist (song and album) mean so much to me... getting resurrections makes me so happy and I'm already so hyped for the ones still coming out. I remember the day the album first released and I can't wait to listen to all the songs "for the first time" again 💜 Finding all this today honestly saved me

Oh, how I um. Oh, how I ah. Oh, how I struggle to choose between this version and the second version of Why Do We Hold. It's easily my favorite song on the entirety of Heart of an Artist, and I always thought the glow-up from the original to the first remake was insanely impressive - but I realize now that that could be because the remake was the first version of the song I ever heard. If I'd heard this version first, I'd probably call it my favorite in an instant. It's undoubtedly more technically and musically impressive, more complex, an amazing show of how much you've improved, Will! There's just a few things that feel off to me, like the lack of the drumsticks-clicking style opening, and the way verses three and five repeat certain lines in a way that I think just drowns them a bit, and the whole song in general feels a touch quieter, especially the lyrics, which stuck out much more in the first remake. It's impossible for me to tell how much of this is legitimate criticism and how much of it is just musical uncanny valley, though. I'm sure as I listen to this over and over and over again for the next week or so, it'll grow on me, and before long I'll be calling this the unquestioned definitive version - that's how it was the last time a remake of a song I adored came out. XD Either way, no matter what, I've become an absolute IRIS superfan over the past month, and I am out-of-my-goddamned-mind excited to see Heart of an Artist: Resurrection finally coming to fruition. Can't wait!!

yeah i feel you man

The original HOAA tracks, the other two albums or even the old Resurrection singles have nothing on this. Truly doing justice to an amazing album. Great job, and I can't wait to hear more!

The evolution of the sound is proof that you're breaking your limits and surpassing them by an absolute landslide and then some. The difference between this and the others is night and day, with this one being the best. The visuals in the video are a sight to behold.

THIS IS YOUR OWN VENGEANCE! I'm so so so happy to this this happening. And I'm so proud of you Will, to see how far you've come. Raise Havok!

It occurs to me that we've gotten something from IRIS every year since 2016. 2016: Heart of an Artist song 2017: As The Lights Go Out, Kings & Queens 2018: Heart of an Artist Album 2019: Goliath's Throne Album 2020: Jaws of Dawn Campain and Soundtrack 2021: Transmissions, Dawn of the Dimetrix Album 2022: Hither & Yonder, We Stand In A Line 2023: Heart of an Artist: Ressurection IRIS has been going on for 8 years, and still as awesome as ever, if not more so.

IT'S TIME TO RESURRECT THE IRIS!!!

Might just be me, but the song carries a whole new meaning after listening to Dawn of The Dimetrix

Me: Oh boy Will remaking an already banger album *listens to this* Me: OH BOY WILL REMAKING AN ALREADY BANGER ALBUM

I missed this ive only heard the first one it was very melancholic, it wasn't until I looked in the comments and found out there 2nd one and that this was the 3rd.

Omg omg omg omg I was so sad when the first remake got pulled from the stores, but this new version (again) is quite the banger!!

I didn't expected a first single of Resurrection so soon, but HOLY SHIT THIS IS A BANGER!!

I’m absolutely blown away by this remake and that the fact that this song still makes me cry. I’ll always remember when I heard the original version of this song from a preview and then when HOAA came out I was excited for this song the most. And I will have to say that this version beats the other two by a loooooong shot! Will I can’t get ever how far you’ve come along as not just a musician but as a person too and we are so proud and happy for you! Can’t wait to hear the album resurrected once again! ❤️👁️

I have a very distinct memory of driving to my local Walmart on a rainy summer 2018 day so I could buy some LEGO sets, and the entire time, I was blasting Why Do We Hold (and HOAA in general.) This song never fails to bring me back, no matter the version. Can't wait for the whole album!

I CAN ALREADY TELL THIS IS GONNA SOUND AMAZING

"Shut up and take my money!" But seriously, this is f*cking amazing. Absolutely adore the vocals and the drums 😩 We've always believed in you buddy, and damn have you exceed expectations (again). You're doing the album justice and then some. Love ya mate, keep on keeping on ❤ 👍

I don't know for how long I've been waiting for the HOAA Resurrection but I'm very very proud of how William evolved in his music career. He is and will be forever my favourite artist. The man that brought me into metal with his originals 🤍

this is my absolute favourite HOAA song and i LOVE that we have THREE BADASS VERSIONS TO LISTEN TO

It's so cool to see the evolution of your sound, and the three versions of this song in particular. I've always had a soft spot for HOAA and couldn't be more hyped for the new album!!!

i wish i could see this guy perform live in a band

It's been almost 5 years now since I first discovered IRIS. Why Do We Hold always resonated with me. It was my comfort song when I was at one of my lowest points. And today... today has been one of the roughest days I've had in awhile. This was just what I needed... thank you for everything 💜

LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO THIS IS WAY BETTER THAN THE PRIOR VERSIONS! Amazing job Will!

I have waited for these songs for a long time and the truth is that it has been worth every second

IRIS ❤❤👁️ I Am Loving the New Why Do We Hold Remake!!!

this track is an example of how your talent has developed and grown more and more!!! i am proud to have you in my most spotify playlists XD

I LOVE THIS SONG. I'VE BEEN LISTENING TO IT FOR SO LONG AND THE FACT THIS FEELS LIKE A REMAKE?! I LOVE THIS!!!!

3 versions of this song and they’re all bangers ❤

Yeah, this is MILES better than the original 2018 version. From the mixing of the vocals, to the quality of the guitars, to even the choir being entirely done from scratch and not a sample (I’m pretty sure the original version was also a done-from-scratch choir, but I don’t know for sure), even the fact that you were able to hold the final “AGAIN” scream out for the entire 8 measures instead of falling short (R.I.P your vocal chords). Fantastic stuff, Will, I’m just excited to hear how the title track (that being Heart of an Artist itself) will sound!

I love how it's more like the original with some parts of the song, when also it has the old remake features in it, love your work to bits Will

IRIS HEART OF AN ARTIST RESSURECTION. FULL ALBUM COMING SOON.

I remember when this song first came out, it became my anthem. To this day, I find it hard to face the day without listening and singing along, getting my blood pumping. Thank you for this masterpiece Will!

How this song can get only about 7k views? It deserves much much more!

God, this makes 3 version on Why Do We Hold and I fricking love all of them! Can’t wait for the whole album to release, especially Lost Now Found! Keep up the amazing work, Will!

this is brilliant i am so glad this album is being made i was so scared it had been cancelled but this is a perfect remaster and i love it

Between this and flash drive ssd, excited for these remasters

i just played the 3 versions at the same time, beautiful

back after 2 months to just drool over how INSANE the visuals are; i know theyre just shots of yourself but the effects go CRAZY and it makes everything feel so violent in such a brutal and appropriate way, the colors, the ??textures??, the tiny details like flashes in some drops truly add to it in a way im sure many wouldnt notice, gosh dude, keep it up, you're astounding jesus chriSTTT

The size of the nostalgia trip this takes me on is too damn high! I love this so much!!! Outstanding job, Will!!!!!!!!!!!!! QwQ

I can’t believe that Will made this song even more epic than the other version of the Resurrection. Great Job Will

God this is so intense, I absolutely love this song still, the newer version sounds so good! And the music video adds to the intensity of it!

Honestly, I’m just glad that there’s actual lyrics now so you know what the hell he’s saying.

THE BEST SONG EVER!!! AND IT'S MY FAVORITE!!!🖤💜💚🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

Gotta love the third why do we hold!!! ❤

My friends. This is without a doubt, The most Hardcore that Will put his thoughts into this melody to understand between Reality and IRIS series. The day where Heart of An Artists: Resurrection is approaching, and IRIS will once again, continue to inspire everyone. Will, you are one the best not only as an artist/gamer/musician, but also as a better person. Keep being yourself. It's time. Time to Descend... Descend into the "IRIS". #ResurrectTheIRIS #HavokWillReighn

Damn, Will. Your vibrato is really showing through more now. Awesome 💜💚

Violin in metal sounds good

This is amazing. I can’t wait for the rest of the songs.

Speechless so good

This is beautiful hits me real hard just like the original HOAA, this just shows that Will's original songs are way better then his ones he writes for games (not saying they're bad)

Straight up phenomenal, Will, can't wait enough for Resurrection

HELL YEAH!!!!!!

Iris Forever until Whenever in the Wonder!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is the greatest shadow drop of all time

Wow, I'm impressed with how you've evolved Will! HOAA is an album I'll never forget, and I'm glad to see it back in a whole new light Also, Why do we Hold will always be one of my favourite songs, and I love this version even more! I wish you to continue on the path you have chosen Will ❤

The quality of the remake shows. Comparing HOAA to a new released song like I'll Make Them Whole, the quality has risen above expectations. This is a Top 5 song for me on HOAA, so I'm looking forward to more!

😆🤟 Hell yeah Will! New remake of Why Do We Hold. Can't for the other Heart of and Artist remakes. Cool music video by the way.

OKAY HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING!!! I can honestly say this version my most favorite out of the other ones! And with the new equipment and experience really made such a use difference! Absolutely cannot wait see more of the other ones!🤩❤️

This remaster is just terrific and it improves on everything Great work on the song Will, I can't wait for this album

This was always my favorite in the album, it’s always had so much emotion and passion in it and it brings a smile to may face every time I hear it. ❤

Honestly the best version yet, great job Will!

After listening, I now realize the possibility of why its announced now! Love the resurrection Will, and the new sound and EQ is amazing. Much love

The visuals of the filters look sick, the song sounds great too!

I interpret this song as something very relatable in my life. The original, the 1st remake and now this, it honestly has had such a healing effect on me over the years. Thanks so much Will Xx :'))

Will making these banger remasters feels like a dream because he just makes the banger bang even more

best song ever

Amazing work! Definitely a big improvement from the other versions. But... it actually took me a bit to warm up to it. The sounds of the instruments are definitely better. The vocal harmonies are still great to listen to. At first the mixing and timing of some vocals/instruments felt kinda monotone. But then I listened to it more times and I got the rhythm! Not really a fan of the video itself, but it's still objectively well done! It connects back to the VHS imperfections or the original HOAA videos. I'd love to hear more of the melodic singing for the next songs! It's a thing I always loved of the original album. That being said, wish you the very best for the next projects/songs! Stay safe!

Beautiful! Well done, Will!

1 Year ago on March 29th, 2023: Will Ryan Originals -(IRIS)- Released the First Single, Apart of the Album "Heart Of An Artist: Resurrection", is the Resurrection remake of "Why Do We Hold". ❤️👁️

I know this song by heart and can’t wait to hear the rest of the remastered Heart of an Artist album mostly because I have fallen in love with the original. Keep up the good work Will.

everything, and I mean EVERYTHING from the mixing to the vocal performance has improved a SHIT TON!! you're doing AMAZING MY DUDE 💖👑

it's so amazing to hear this again

Wow…this is beautiful

Lovely work as always! It's good to see HOAA once again (I was also thinking of how funny it would be if the remaster was called "Resuscitation" instead, but Resurrection sounds a lot nicer)

The sheer quality of this remaster is unparalleled with the other IRIS tracks in mind. Even some of the DOTD tracks have NOTHING on this. Amazing job to you, Will!

I’m super fucking excited for this album this this is what kick started iris It starts and ends with heart of an artist

This is literally so good! I have been listening to your songs for quite some time now and I loved HOAA album and seeing a remaster of this song makes me feel so nostalgic and happy. This literally made my day, thanks Will!

This released right when I needed Iris, thank you SO MUCH!
