Lyrics:
I’ve been grinding and grinding
O! Ocean have mercy
I give you my life
O! Son of the Sun
I’ve been rowing and rowing
No sign of land so far in the flood
I’ve been through fire and wind I’m hanging, feet in the depth
Drowning all day long, in an ocean of stress
Gotta find a safety raAAAAAAft, another wave is striking down
Hold on! Fight! We are are merely grabbing on to…
Hold on! Fight! Unconscious ride around the core
In a matter of time, you’re out in the open
You shall prove yourself in the bitter end
But for now, brace yourself!
Hold on! Fight! We are merely grabbing on to…
Hold on! Fight! Unconscious ride around the core
When you witness death you understand your demise
And you may embrace your destiny the fate of all
And maybe when we die we rise, high, find a ground
And we return where we belong
Elders, deep under
Shelter, land!
Fight! We are merely grabbing on to life
Fight! One last attempt to break the code…
Hold on! Fight! We are are merely grabbing on to…
Hold on! Fight! Unconscious ride around the core
Hold on! Fight! Hold on tight!
Hold on! Fight! Hold on tight!
Just give them their Grammy already
Can't disgrace Gojira with that slop ;D
Fuck the Grammys
Damn guys. I see both sides. But don’t be so cynical to act like it would bad for ‘Jira to get a Grammy. They just doubled the effective lifespan of their group. BUT, I’m a veteran live sound engineer here in Charleston and several of my dear friends have won Grammy’s, and lord knows they each deserved it. Truly gifted artists, as unbiased as I can possibly be, these people are truly world class musicians. BUT, I’ve also recently found out/heard (not confirmed as far as I know) that bands, or more likely their management, pay $50k to be in the running, and often new categories are created to accommodate certain groups which might not neatly fit into another genre. I’m not sure what to make of that. Should I be pleased that talented artists finally found some portion of the recognition they deserved? Or should I be concerned that maybe certain artists are all-but paying-to-play? I’m not a Grammy aficionado, so it’s not like I know every category of the top of my head, but I am a music, including international music lover lie it’s my blood, which in some ways it is, but some of these music categories I’ve never, ever heard of, it’s kinda my job to scan through music genres on incredibly diverse playlists, as I often provide sound reinforcement for international groups. When the whirling dervishes ask you to play something appropriate when the doors to the venue open, don’t play Napalm Death. Wait till right after. I hope ‘Jira gets a Grammy. It won’t water them down, and some of the machinations instituted to exploit opportunities to go forth SHOULD make you think twice. But if winning a Grammy by throwing $50k at the opportunity is what it takes to help Joe go forth and scream, “plastic! Plastic bags in the sea! Plastic! Plastic bags in the sea!” Remember when Jethro Tull won the best metal act over Metallica’s And Justice for All? I was a teenager already having absorbed Justice by the time the Grammys happened,and I was surprised that Metallica was in the running. Then I was shocked that Jethro Tull had remained a band for the previous 15-20 years. Then I was speechless, like in bizarro world, I wonder how much that Grammy cost? It’s too bad though. Metallica was really onto something and they could have gone on to be a real world dominating powerhouse of metal. If only. For the Grammy they lost. Oh, well. Guess we’ll never know what could have been.
Wait, what?!
haha for sure. I was thinking the same thing. They've reached musical greatness for sure.
@@andrewhigdon8346 oh
I didn't know I was a Gojira fan, but youtube and spotify did.
Right?? I can't believe I hesitated before, they're amazing-
Everyone is, they just don't know it yet.

Welcome to the rest of your life, my friend! 🤘
To the youngsters that think they were born in the wrong time for music and wish they were around in the 70’s era, I felt the same once, but now I’m glad I’m in this time of great bands like Gojira even as I approach my 40’s
Also Tool, Deftones, Villagers of Ioannina City and Mgla a year ago..
@@_sstyloideuss_ Mgla hell yea my man
All boomers that say music was better back in the days or the young people who fallow this stupid idea are just lazy or selfish or just down right stupid or all 3 together.
Music has never been better, Gojira is not even remotly new band.. They are 90s band that is based heavily on old death and trash metal.
While the album is great it's probably not even the greatest work of Gojira.
There are so many bands and so many genres, fuck me even POP is better than it used to be. Young generation like Colier, DOMI JD Beck, Snarky Puppy, Thundercat.
I am not gonna even say what's happening with Metal, because Metal and Progressive music has never been better. So many great artists it's just insane.
It's not a competition, if u like something keep enjoying it !!!
But if it would be 9 out of 10 Nowadays We have better guitarists, better artists, better muscians overall... Amount of music available is isnane. You just dont want to listen to it.
gojira is an anomaly dude
And I could not be happier in my mid twentys to have such an inspiration of musicianship.
One of my favorite things about Gojira is how they're able to take elements of death metal and turn them into something encouraging and life affirming
chuck would be very proud
My grandfather came over while I was blasting this (the intro) and the first thing he asked/said to me was "are Black Sabbath back in action?" lmfao
Dope ass grandpa though
bruh your grandfather is 💯, you must protect that man
Cool grandfather you have for he had the pleasure to witness the birth of metal at the time.🤘🤘🤘
Respect
I wish lmao
It's impossible not to headbang to that main riff
Savage! L'enfant savage!
@@adumbmf8754 elephant sausage!!!
@@SlumLord- Infant sausage
Disagree
That's true of the riff at 2:24 of title track to L'Enfant Sauvage tho for me
I didn't start moving much at all till 4:23 in this song and that section barely lasts
@@momsspaghetti7874 that could straight up be a cannibal corpse song
They've really been vibin' with that whammy pedal these days
@Khail Kupsky lmfaoo tokyo I'm dead
why not whammy pedal are amazing
Waa waa wee woo
I think their 'waah' pedal has a whammy pedal and vice versa - lots of cool sounds from this album! 😂
When this is played live, the entire planet is going to shake...
Imagine this as the opener at Red Rocks at dusk.
Yeah man totally! A bit like the glorious slow burn of “Pray”
I will go to them in the beginning of 2022 in Poland, really hope this will be live!
indeed
I'll find out tonight in Huntsville!
I am here in India and there is so much loss and tragedy everywhere. This new album is really helping me to keep things together. God bless metal, and Gojira.
Love you friend. Stay safe and rock on.
I have the exact same thing to say. Keep yo head up king.
\,,/
Stay safe buddy .
There is something strange almost deliberate everywhere with bad horrors happening my fellow being. We who are real...are always with you!!
We are literally witnessing history
Gojira just became one of the most important bands on the planet.
@@splitloopgaming3523 They already were my friend and this masterpiece of an album cements their status
@@gruchaacify I became a fan by accident over ten years ago. I went to see Mastadon in Ashville NC and Gojira was opening for them. They immediately became one of my favorite bands.
Amen, brother! 🤘
We need to get these guys and their message to the forefront!
"When you witness death you understand your demise
And you may embrace your destiny the fate of all
And maybe when we die we rise, high, find a ground
And we return where we belong"
holy shit how can a riff be this heavy and so melodic
Try any only swedish melo death, you might like it. First 5 in flames albums, and at the gates.
edit *old, not only
@@blacksaltscotland 😐
@@truedarklander he does have a point though. Shit like In Flames, Amon Amarth, hell even underrated shit like Orbit Culture is good to listen to If someone likes Gojira.
@@angeleaterstudios1004 aye, cheers. That's what got me into the more extreme side.
@@blacksaltscotland Gojira was my first legit metal band. Within like 2 months, I was blasting Meshuggah and Cannibal Corpse. Best thing that's ever happened to me.
I feel this in my soul.
Recovering drug addict. Died in September to fentynal overdose. Died and everything... talked to my best friend about it... he was using to in cali... I told him to be careful and try to get help and we lost him to fentynal overdose on New Years.... he loved gojira too... I've turned everything around in my life. Diet, gym everyday, healthy relationship... getting married. I've been fucking grinding. And I miss you brother!!!
So sorry to hear that, fucking stay strong bad ass!
Congratulations bro, keep on fighting. 💪💪💪
Good shit dude. Keep it up!
Can't imagine. Good work man. Keep going up.
@@codycox2685 Thanks guys. Hope you're all doing what feeds your soul. 5K run tomorrow, wish me luck. I'll be running to this album using Fortitude.
Really hitting us with music at midnight for us EST people
Yes. That’s when albums release.
@@mutatednut Like Greta Van Fleet's "The battle at the garden's gate"
Haha the album was released like 7 hours ago for me, it's morning here
9:48pm for me, so this is perfect timing. Thanks for existing in EST. :)
Yeah. here in mexico is almost 12:00 pm
I wasn't expecting the whole album to drop on CZcams at midnight. It's one of the few times my insomnia has paid off. This whole album is incredible.
Here in Brazil 3 AM
And which song you heard first?.
Insomnia? Midnight? LOL!
Buy the album
Can we be best friends?! Lol
In my opinion, Hold On and Grind are the best songs of Fortitude. These songs are probably the best representatives of both sides of the current sound of the band.
Sphinx too for me 😁
Don't sell The Trails short tho. Only downside is it ends so abruptly. :/
I think every song is amazing. I personally love hold on, but I LOVE AMAZONIA. I never thought it’d grow on me so hard like it did. I even love the interlude of Fortitude if you let it ride into the chant.
Yeah in my opinion this is the only bad song of the album. Everything seems so out of place
@@Instigator554 I honestly think this song should start at about 1:50. I skip this intro; it doesn't do anything for me.
This album actually brought tears flowing from my eyes. Unbelievable. Epic. Masterpiece.
Fortitude made me bawl dude. Was holding it back during this and new found cause I have religiously peached how amazing they are and here they are, blowing my expectations away. Was going to bitch that Fortitude was a filler until they started humming the hook to The Chant like it’s out of a 1940’s song. Cried like a MFer.
Gotta admit, the first time I listened to Hold On in my truck, I got goosebumps once the main riff kicked in. Spending $3,000 on a system for the new sled so I can really appreciate Gojira. I spend about 800 miles per week in my truck, so its money well spent.
lol, made muh cry, Gojira made me tear up ;*D
Me too brother
All The Tears
4:23 Holy cow dude, I wasn´t expecting that riff.
They stole it off Fire Is Everything from Terra LMAO
3:26 is just so amazing. That riff is so spiritual sounding I can’t get enough of it. This album is seriously so fire. It’s not just badass, it’s a piece of fine art.
That riff just puts a huge smile on my face every time I hear it. It's so good!
How amazing is that shift at 4:17? Gojira never fail to amaze me with every new effort.
I want to meet the band tell all of them that this album is epic on so manny levels. This album changed my life forever. I adore This album!!!
4:45
Just breathe man, its Just music 😂😂
Joe is really feeling the solos on this albums. I can vibe with that.
He doesnt play lead guitar
@@hipbubble7685 depends on the song, global warming,gift of guilt, oroboros for example, he does
He has also found his voice on this album
@@patrickburton1401 i knew, as soon as they started experimenting in magma, with Joe's cleans, that this one was going to be a banger. The silver cord studio version of "Global warming" was the premonition for this.
@@hipbubble7685
he sometimes does. anyways, he writes the majority of the guitar in the albums. the other guitarist and bassist kinda just learn the songs and record, although they do sometimes write their own riffs.
1:41 it starts with a riff that explodes in an incredible way 🔥
What the heck. A band called Royal Blood also released their new album today, the same day as Fortitude, and they also have a song called Hold On on it. Weird coincidence. Both are awesome though, so I'm not complaining.
Wait royal blood dropped an album today? I love that band and I didn’t even know that wtf
@@ItsByzo Yep, Typhoons. Both bands are awesome. I've been looking forward to today for awhile.
@@zaiahmcc9334 what a way to spend my Friday arvo 😂😂
rowing.....flood.....royal....blood.....hold on a minute. HOLD ON A MINUTE
Royal Blood kicks ass 🤘🏼
This album is like healing balm for my soul. Gojira are the best. Enjoy and stay safe everyone.
I get that from Mr. Townsend as well.
This is the song of this album that just grows on you more and more with each listen
Yes agreed
The whole album does.
This song is about, in my very humble opinion, dedicated to the people who struggle to find what has been been in their hearts for the very long time. Thank you.
Humbled you are but correct you are indeed
Gojira be releasing a masterpiece one after another
I'm getting older. 47. Gojira helps me to pass the pain of the inevitability of mortality. They're the only band that connects to my soul.
This album is gonna be great
It’s already out
@@maxxd96 and not that great xD
@@blacksaltscotland You're crazy
@@blacksaltscotland you really came here to listen to this song just to say it’s not great.😐
@@blacksaltscotland Awee I'm sorry you can't enjoy it like we can! Really sucks, what a shame. This album is truly a masterpiece
That bass line is genius when the second whammy hits it plays a lower note to make it seem like the whammy noise is lower
They do all sorts of tiny accents/note changes to give a huge dynamic to their sound. You can find it all over this album and I love it so much.
The world: We already have enough sick riffs, Gojira.
Gojira: Hold On…
This band has helped me during what I can only describe as the darkest most difficult time in my life. I truly love these guys and cant say thank you enough for helping me to find the strength to carry on. THANK YOU!
If it wasnt for gojira and my motorcycle I wouldnt still be here. When everything and everyone I cared about left you stayed.
For hours I would put all your albums on and rebuild my bike so I could one day get back to feeling like I'm flying but still be connected to the ground. My motorcycle is my raft and gojira beats the drums that hold the cadence to my rowing. It's time to pick up the pace. 🏍💨
I've listened to this album over and over and I still can't pick a favorite song. Is it Hold On? Is it New Found? Is it The Trails? Is it Grind? Is it Sphinx? I think this album period is just my favorite song on this album
For me, it's Hold On. This song has such a deep, personal meaning to me, especially now more than ever.
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 It's just *so good*
I remember the first time I hear this song at the moment that I was so afraid of my future, mi responsabilities, my dreams. But this song gave me the strenght I needed and the hope that everything has their correct moment and time.
A week later, I was talking with Joe and Mario outside of the hotel they were staying before their show in Colombia.
Such a dream come true.
THIS ALBUM KICKS ASS!!! NOT JUST ANY ASS! BUT BADASS!
ALL THE ASSES!
Persistent perpetual consistent state of ass-kicking
Joes vocals on point in the intro
One of Gojira’s greatest songs of all time! 🤙🏼
They said the album is a tribute to Sepultura but I think it's equally paying homage to Mastadon honestly
I definitely felt Mastodon in this, even in the drums
Idk how is this tribute to sepultura, sounds more like mastodon. Best "sepulturish" gojira album is saturate
@@murderousintents6474 Their words not mine. The band specifically said the album is a tribute to Sepultura
@@leviathan3630 I've heard at least a hint of Mastodon influence throughout their career. I love both bands. Just imagine if Gojira wrote a song in that Mastodon tuning where they drop the lowest string down to A?
No. Joe specifically said that Amazonia is a tribute to Sepultura not the whole album
Gojira qui conserve son côté sauvage, son originalité et sa créativité mais qui en plus rajoute une bonne dose de mélodies à ses morceaux ?
Franchement les mecs j'adore et j'achèterai votre album.
J'ai appris le français et la culture française grâce à ce putain de groupe. Gojira est génial! Le Brésil vous aime!
@@_jrpg Ravis d'entendre que Gojira est devenue une partie intégrante de la culture française ! On aime le Brésil aussi ;)
Du bonheur !
Génial ce titre !
@@benbgc3194 ils sont tous énormes ;-)
It's outstanding to see how this band can evolve without loosing its roots!
Love Leprous, but wish they would have held on to some more of their original sound
Gojira has transcended with this album...the songwriting and arrangements are just perfect
Nobody is witness in how this album saved My life this night
Much love
Hold on, FIGHT!
LES GO BROTHER. FIGHT IT WITH HANDS AN TEETH. YOU ARE THE ONE IN CONTROL, NOT YOUR EMOTIONS
I witness you!!
Hold on
Man, found this band 2 weeks ago. My life has changed.I have never heard metal band with so unique and melodic songs like this band.
These guys been around for 20 years? Where the fuck have i been hiding? Great band and great talent
I can't think of any other band with lyrics so powerful yet so open for interpretation. Almost every one of their songs... What did mankind do to deserve these legends???
OMG THIS RIFF IS AMAZING
Never clicked faster in my life
Oh my god the bass around four minutes in, DAMN
Gojira is amazing
Hold on!!!! Fight!!!!
So tribal
Fellow Gojira fans rejoice! THREE NEW TRACKS TONIGHT!
Correction: THE WHOLE ALBUM
I feel the brotherhood and sisterhood tonight, enjoy it everyone!!
6 ftw
The whole album I think, Sick!
The whole freaking album!!!
The whole album is out.
WRWY
The beginning of the song gave me chills. Joe’s melodic singing is always an amazing touch. Almost brought me in tears in less than 14 seconds. Truly amazing :)
same
The main riff has strong industrial vibes and I love it, impossible not to bounce to it.
holy fuck the riff at 4:23 goes so hard
YEEESSSS!!!!!
It reminds me "Fire is Everything"
L'Enfant Sauvage vibes right there
isnt it the same as born for one thing ?
3:26 is so groovy it gave me goosebumps holy shit
Yesss that part needs more attention “When you witness death you understand your demise “ ughhh so groovy and beautiful melody and lyrics 🤘
The best metal band at the moment._
That main riff is earth shattering.
The more i listen to the more i like it.
Never had newly released music bring me to tears on the way to work like this 🤷🏼♂️
2:25 That bass lick is super fucking dope!
What a insane riff man
damn i love gojira
"Gotta find a safety raAAAAAAft"}
HAHAHAH
I should sleep hehe
Funny thing is that’s the actual lyrics ladies and gents
this is great
I laughed out loud when I read that bit looool
Love the way he says that 🤩
Best song on the album.
That intro tho.... it gets me every damn time
the best song in the album imo
3:27
The last 5 years of my life have been hell. Today is the day i try to change that. Today i check into rehab and i woke with this song in my head. Today is the start of me taking my life back. HOLD ON TIGHT!
Gojira delivers!
the vocal FX on this are 💯 💯 💯
Perfect way to start the day, with a new Gojira song and seeing the album is released ❤️
Haha, i was about to go to sleep
@@analaurapalacioscabrera4494 nice, I was just snoozing my alarms when I realized I had a notification of Gojira and it's the 30th 😅
@@analaurapalacioscabrera4494 Jojo nice
@@_jrpg XD
Love those crunchy riffs including the tapping and the crazy transitions. This album is a banger. 🤘🏻
I need a one hour version of 3:30 , this part should have been longer :(
Yes
Nope. It takes from the intro guitar lick and ELEVATES it to such a large degree and that’s why it feels so HUGE. It’s perfect.
It sounds so delicious, it's just ridiculous
Sick! Finally the wait is over 🤘🤘
Damn, thats AMAZING
The emphasis on raAAAAAAft in the lyrics description is hilarious.
I broke my neck with that Riff
Broke mine on my guitar and my body
this album is unreal
they keep getting better
We have all shared in history, and boy is it spectacular
let's go
Well, no words, just brown hearts, guys 🤎🤎🤎
3:27 This part reminds me of Space time's "now I see the mounts of fear..." part. Just beautiful. What a time to be alive to hear these masterpieces ❤️
DAT NEW GOJIRA
Underrated
Beautiful..
Another good song
I can’t wait to see them this September
Les Mozarts de notre époque.
Amazing. Love this. Thank you Gojira.
I'm pretty happy right now, thanks Gojira
First I was like "what's that? " And now I can't stop listening to this masterpiece
Deep deep ocean of music, from calm water to storm, love it🖤
This is amazing, they drop a few songs and then an entire album ♡
Au nom des frères, du bassiste et du Christ(ian) 🙏🏻
1:41 HEAVY Tool vibes
I like to say Devin Townsend
I felt Tool vibes too
Not odd enough too bouncy, but I understand
gotta say that Fortitude is the best thing that happened in 2021
@Gojira Love you guys!
Just an awesome album. Maybe the best?!
I still think Terra Incognita is a masterpiece and no one can change my mind. And this...
This is everything of the terrific spectrum Gojira's authentically made, in their original sound and great messages, that tradition in their music and art is incredible. 🤌🤌✌
Hold on you are right. Never before have I had so many favourite tracks on one album. Right now this cuts it!
LETS GOO BABY
If a boilermaker listens to anything else than this while driving to work at 4am then you ain't a man
No one:
Stoners: I've been grinding and grinding
Gojira is the Queen of metal!! French Freddie!
