Jesse Hold On
Album: B*Witched
Year: 1999
Edele Lynch is on her to meet her fiance in the scanty "Jesse Hold On."
A hokey fiddle opens the single, setting a rustic tone. In the first verse, she says she’s on a packed train and excited about the trip. She’s thinking of what she will be doing on her wedding day.
She and her fiancé have been living apart for so long, she’s forgotten what it would be like hanging out with him. Getting married seemed to be easier than waiting for another chance to see other.
In the chorus, she tells Jesse to be patient. She will be in London soon.
In the second verse, she says she has saved money for her job for their life together. She promises she will be loyal to him. The problems they face will be quickly shooed away by their love.
The pre-chorus and chorus are sung again.
In the bridge, she says they no longer have to plan trips and long for each other anymore.
The chorus is sung twice to close the single.
Marriage is the answer to their problems. Although they have been in a long-distance relationship, they are marrying in order to be together. It doesn’t seem like they thought it through.
Lynch's callow vocals are naïve and whimsical. She thinks her life with him will be the fantasy like she's imagined. She doesn’t even know his dislikes all that well.
The slack-jawed arrangement enables the behavior. The ignorant fiddle annoys the rhythm, which prefers to remain bland.
“Jesse Hold On” is weighed down by its own delusions.

“Sitting on a crowded train/I feel good, I feel good, I feel good/
Wishing all the time away/’Till that day, that day.”
She and her fiancé have been living apart for so long, she’s forgotten what it would be like hanging out with him. Getting married seemed to be easier than waiting for another chance to see other.
”I give you my hand/Now come rescue me/For better or worse/I do.”
In the chorus, she tells Jesse to be patient. She will be in London soon.
"Oh Jesse hold on/Just hold on, and on, and on, and on/Oh Jesse be strong/Just hold on, and on, and on, and on."
In the second verse, she says she has saved money for her job for their life together. She promises she will be loyal to him. The problems they face will be quickly shooed away by their love.
"Every little thing I do/It's for you, I'll be true, yes I do/Never mind the stormy weather/We'll blow the clouds away."
The pre-chorus and chorus are sung again.
In the bridge, she says they no longer have to plan trips and long for each other anymore.
"Stop waiting/All the waiting is gone/Stop waiting/All the waiting is gone and on, and on, and on/Yes it's gone and on, and on, and on/Yes it's gone and on, and on, and on/Oh it's gone and on, and on, and on."
