Holloway did not fit the Motown mold well. She lived in Los Angeles, not Detroit. She also had a grittier edge than the typical polished Motown performer, and wrote songs as well as sang them, which was unprecedented for a female Motown artist. Brenda Hollowy inspired many pop artists, including The Beatles who asked her to perform as the opening act on their 1965 tour of the U.S. She was the only female to open for them.
Together 'Til The End Of Time
Brenda Holloway Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone is thinking of himself
So little time is spent on planning for tomorrow
& no one really seems to care
Now it's so easy to be lost in a land
Where no one wants to help you, no one tries to understand
But we'll hold hands forever
& we'll make our plans together
Till the end of time, my sweet darlin'
By your side I'll always be, though things be good or bad
From now until eternity, I'll do anything I can
To make you happy when you're feeling blue
Should you ever have to leave me, I'll wait for you
& we'll hold hands forever
& we'll make our plans together
Till the end of time, darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darlin'
Now don't you worry
I'll make you happy when you're feeling blue
Should you ever have to leave me, I'll wait for you
& we'll hold hands forever
& we'll make our plans forever
Till the end of time, darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darlin'
(Till the end of time) we'll be side by side
(Till the end of time)
Brenda Holloway's song "Together 'Til The End Of Time" is an uplifting ballad about the importance of staying together through thick and thin. Starting with a somber tone, the lyrics highlight the apathetic attitude that has taken over society, where people focus solely on themselves, and there is little or no empathy towards others. However, the song stresses on the significance of companionship in such an environment of solitude. The lyrics express the importance of supporting and understanding each other, even when the world seems to have turned against them, as they face an uncertain future.
The lyrics also exude a sense of hope, promising undying loyalty and commitment, to one's partner, by promising to remain by their side, no matter what. The song speaks of love that is enduring and unwavering, even when one encounters various obstacles, and promises to put the needs of their partner before their own. The lyrics of the song advocate for the importance of staying connected with each other, especially during the difficult times, as this will allow them to overcome any challenge that they might face together.

In a world filled with so much sorrow
In a world where sadness and pain is abundant
Everyone is thinking of himself
People are focused only on themselves
So little time is spent on planning for tomorrow
They don't spend much time preparing for the future
And no one really seems to care
They don't seem to care about each other
Now it's so easy to be lost in a land
It's easy to feel lost in a world like this
Where no one wants to help you, no one tries to understand
Where people don't try to help or understand you
But we'll hold hands forever
We'll always be together
& we'll make our plans together
We'll plan our future together
