"Somebody to Hold" was the second single released from Brandon Paris Band's [http://www.brandonparis.com] debut album, "On My Own". The song is about a person who wakes up at home one morning to a perfectly sunny day. Life seems to be going good for him until he soon realizes that deep inside, he is feeling lonely and desires a partner to finally share his life with(Hence the song title "Somebody to Hold"). Their debut albums' second single, "Somebody to Hold", was released after its very successful first release Rewind and Start Again, which hit top 20. The song was also well received in many cities. It unfortunately peaked at #53 on CHR(tracked by Radio & Records(Billboard Information Group)). Koch Entertainment, Brandon Paris Band's record label, decided to release "Give Me a Reason" only a month after the release of Somebody to Hold, in hopes of getting better results, but to their dismay it was not enough to reach top 40 status. Only a couple months later it quickly lost it's momentum on the radio once the funding towards radio promotion stopped. It was believed that the timing, and lack of funding for marketing the singles release was partially to blame.Topping off an already exceptional year, Brandon Paris Band was nominated for Best New Group or Solo Artist (CHR) by the Canadian Radio Music Awards in spring of 2007 [http://www.cmw.net/cmw2009/awards_crma.asp] . The song was added to sirius and XM satellite radio, as well as Galaxie Max Trax digital TV stations. CHUM-FM, Toronto's largest radio station, added the song to rotation with Nelly Furtado introducing the song live on air. Nelly was originally at CHUM-FM to promote her own music. This was believed to be a major success on a personal level for the Brandon Paris Band.
