Marc Ford (born April 13, 1966), is an American blues-rockguitarist. He's a former lead guitarist of the rock and rolljam bandThe Black Crowes and the leader of his own bands: Burning Tree, Marc Ford & The Neptune Blues Club, Jefferson Steelflex, Fuzz Machine, Marc Ford & The Sinners.
Ford began his career with the blues-rock outfit Burning Tree in the late 1980s. A power trio featuring Ford on guitars and vocals, Mark Dutton on bass and Doni Gray on drums, Burning Tree released their self-titled debut album on Epic Records in 1990. A commercial failure but a critical success, Burning Tree allowed Ford and Co. to tour extensively throughout most of 1990 and 1991. The band's career was cut short when Ford left to join The Black Crowes, whom Burning Tree had opened for on its first (and only) tour.
"Keep Holding On" is a power ballad recorded by Canadian singer-songwriter Avril Lavigne and is the theme song for the 2006 film Eragon. It also appears as the last track on Lavigne's third album, The Best Damn Thing, which was released on April 17, 2007. Lavigne has described the rest of the album as being upbeat and heavy in comparison to "Keep Holding On". Originally, an alternate version was to be included, but the original version made it instead.
The song was written by Lavigne and Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald; Luke also produced the single. It was the first single from the soundtrack and premiered on radio stations across North America in November 2006, receiving positive reviews from critics. "Keep Holding On" was one of the songs short-listed for the "Best Original Song" category at the 79th Academy Awards, but it was not among the final nominees. The song was also ranked on the iTunes Australia top 500 at 403.
Background and composition
"Keep Holding On" was written by Lavigne and Lukasz "Dr. Luke" Gottwald. Dr. Luke also produced the song. The strings were arranged and conducted by L.

According to the sheetmusic published at musicnotes.com by Universal Music Publishing Group, the song is composed in the key of G major and is set in time signature of 6/8 time with a tempo of 56 beats per minute.

Everytime I turn around The man tries to get me down Just can't see your face Blinded by the sun Leaving on the run And I can't remember this place Won't take me to the other side let 'em go, let 'em ride Won't you take me to the other side Pretty mama, the wind won't you let me ride Before slow down before I wreck Driving on the river's edge Mam says come back home But I can't keep from running fast Burning up these years Guy's un uncle sam of the road Won't take me to the other side let 'em go, let 'em ride Won't you take me to the other side Let me ride... The Cowboy you give a name Nothing ever stays the same Except the rain falling down Boys so damn close You can't keep from going on Gotta keep the hammer down To take me to the other side let 'em go, let 'em ride Won't you take me to the other side Let me ride... To take me to the other side let 'em go, let 'em ride
