How Hayley Williams built a solo live world beyond Paramore
Across debut-packed sets, carefully chosen guests and a Roundhouse show built around release rather than nostalgia, Hayley Williams gave her solo material its own room to breathe.

Lyrics
Man, you really know how to get someone down Everything was fine until you came around And I've been chasing after dreamers in the clouds After all, wasn't I the one who said To keep your feet on the ground Man, you really brought me back down
Hold onto hope, if you got it Don't let it go for nobody And they say that dreaming is free But I wouldn't care what it cost me
You got me tied up but I stay close to the window And I talk to myself about the places that I used to go Hope that someday maybe I'll just float away And I'll forget every cynical thing you said When you gonna hear me out? Man, you really bring me down
Hold onto hope, if you got it Don't let it go for nobody And they say that dreaming is free But I wouldn't care what it cost me
Reality will break your heart Survival will not be the hardest part It's keeping all your hopes alive When all the rest of you has died So let it break your heart
And hold onto hope, if you got it Don't let it go for nobody Hold onto hope, if you got it Don't let it go for nobody They say that dreaming is free I wouldn't care what it cost me

Across debut-packed sets, carefully chosen guests and a Roundhouse show built around release rather than nostalgia, Hayley Williams gave her solo material its own room to breathe.
The tracks mark her first releases as a fully independent artist.
It's due to illness within the touring party.
When Official Paramore Expert Eleanor Osada said she was heading to the band's London fan listening party we snapped her hand off at the offer of a first-hand account.
