… Read Full Bio ↴Bold may refer to the following groups:
1) youth crew hardcore
Bold is a late 1980s youth crew hardcore band from Westchester County, New York, which along with bands like Youth Of Today and Side By Side were a part of the Youth Crew, and an influence in the late 80's straight edge hardcore scene. The band progressed to a more rock-oriented sound in its later years.
2) psych garage obscurity
Bold released one obscure, self-titled psychedelic album on ABC in 1969, though earlier they'd released two hard garage rock singles on Cameo and Dynovoice (one of them credited to Steve Walker & the Bold). One of those singles, the group original "Gotta Get Some," was very much like Paul Revere & the Raiders at their toughest, and became a favorite among '60s garage collectors after its inclusion on Pebbles, Vol. 9. Another -- a less distinctive cover of "The Train Kept a Rollin'," showed up on Pebbles, Vol. 10. By the time of their ABC album, they'd gone psychedelic, and dropped the "the" from their "the Bold" billing. Produced by a young Bill Szymczyk (later to produce the Eagles, the Who, and several other stars), Bold is a minor but respectable and diverse LP, mixing harmony vocals, classically-influenced organ, and some of the folk-rock sensibility of Buffalo Springfield in that band's harder-rocking moments.
Bold grew out of the Esquires, who formed at the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA, where one of their friends was the young, then-university student Taj Mahal. The Esquires released a pretty forgettable, early British Invasion-influenced single before changing their personnel, changing their name to Bold, and releasing their Cameo and Dynovoice singles in 1966 and 1967, respectively. Although they were popular regionally, opening for stars like Mahal, Big Brother & the Holding Company, and Jimi Hendrix, their ABC album didn't break them to a bigger audience, and they disbanded shortly afterward. Lead guitarist Bob LaPalm and drummer Tim Griffin formed Clean Living, who put out a couple of albums on Vanguard in the early 1970s, and Griffin briefly played drums for James Taylor. Everything released by Bold -- including the ABC album, the two pre-ABC singles, and the Esquires single -- is included on the Misty Lane CD compilation Lullaby Opus Four.
Now or Never
Bold Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The pressure can be too much
Times are changing once again
I feel the pressure of the world we're in
Now- the truth comes out
Work together this I have to shout
Now- the time has come
People change everyday
Some walk their own way
But when these changes come to bring us down
We have got to stick together, stand our ground
Now- the truth comes out
Work together this I have to shout
Now- the time has come
Work together we can work as one
The time is now or never
We've got to stick together
We each try our best, to fight our own fight
Everyone's got their own way, no wrong or right
But when these changes brings us down
We have to stick together and stand our ground

The lyrics describe the pressures and challenges of a changing world, where people are constantly evolving and pursuing their own paths. However, the singer recognizes the importance of standing together and working towards a common goal.
The chorus of the song, "Now- the truth comes out, work together this I have to shout, now- the time has come, work together we can work as one," emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action. The verses highlight the need to stick together and support one another, even when facing individual struggles.
The song's message is both motivational and empowering, encouraging listeners to overcome obstacles and come together as a unified force. It reminds us that although everyone has their own path, we are all ultimately in this together and must work towards a common goal.

When times change and things get rough
When situations become unfavorable and difficult
The pressure can be too much
It can become overwhelming
Times are changing once again
The world is evolving again

At this very moment, the reality is revealed
Work together this I have to shout
We have to collaborate and cooperate to achieve success
Now- the time has come
The moment has finally arrived

People change everyday
Individuals constantly transform
Some walk their own way
Certain people choose to follow their own path
But when these changes come to bring us down
However, when circumstances cause us to feel defeated
We have got to stick together, stand our ground
We must support each other and not give up
The time is now or never
This is the critical moment to act, or it may never happen
We've got to stick together
We must unite and remain together
We each try our best, to fight our own fight
We each try our hardest to overcome our own struggles
Everyone's got their own way, no wrong or right
Each person has their own preferred method, none being inherently better or worse
But when these changes brings us down
Yet, when we feel defeated by said circumstances
We have to stick together and stand our ground
We should not abandon each other, but instead support one another and remain resilient
