Hold Fast Janet | The Woman Who Would Not Let Go

Hold Fast, Janet is an original Scottish folk ballad inspired by the ancient Border tale of Tam Lin. On Halloween night at Carterhaugh, Janet refuses to surrender the man she loves to the Queen of Elfland. As Tam Lin is transformed into beasts, fire, and fearsome shapes, she clings to him through every trial, breaking the spell through courage alone. This song retells one of Scotland's most enduring ballads: a story of love, determination, sacrifice, and the strength to hold on when everything is trying to tear you apart.
