This is a BEAUTIFUL song, softly and expertly sung by Margo Timmins. It's about getting the most out of EVERY moment of your life by taking the time to properly observe and appreciate all that is around you. Most of us rush through life like cars speeding down a highway, ignoring what is on the left and right and focusing ONLY on our present destination. The line "Hold on to me" is equivalent to "take time to smell the roses". Listen to your partner, to those around you. Take the TIME to really HEAR THEM. Breathe deep, soak in the stuff of LIFE. Life is NOT about "getting things" or "going somewhere"; it's about EXPERIENCING all that it means to be ALIVE. This way of living is "slippery as it is rare" because we all experience it only BRIEFLY from time to time (Sunday afternoons?). So sad, but so true.
