Steve Lukather – electric guitars, backing vocals.

Bobby Kimball – lead and backing vocals.

Bobby Kimball has performed the song on all of his solo tours since 2009. Steve Lukather played the song live with Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band during the summer of 2012. "Hold the Line" has been a live staple at Toto shows. And my room was totally black and I was looking for the telephone and I called Paich and I heard him scream, he was living over there with his girlfriend and he was screaming around and falling over trying to get to the radio."Ĭash Box said it has a "simple emphatic piano part, heavy surging guitars, pleasant turns, fine singing and strong chorus." Live performances "I was asleep, I had my alarm clock set for noon because we were gonna do something in the studio, some promo and when the alarm came on there was the radio and "Hold The Line" was playing. It was just a thrill." ( Steve Lukather, Guitar Player magazine, April 1984)īobby Kimball had a similar experience when he heard Toto for the very first time on the radio: My mom called me up and said, "Turn on KLOS." It was the song "Hold the Line," and I started running around the house in my underwear, screaming, "I'm on the radio!" My wife was cracking up. "I flipped the first time I heard myself on the radio. Several of the band members recall hearing "Hold the Line" for the first time on the radio:

It was taking the Sly groove and meshing it with a harder rock caveman approach." When we did the tune, I said, "Gee, this is going to be a heavy four-on-the-floor rocker, but we want a Sly groove." The triplet groove of the tune was David's writing. That 8th note on the second beat is an 8th-note triplet feel, pushed. "That was me trying to play like Sly Stone's original drummer, Greg Errico, who played drums on "Hot Fun In The Summertime." The hi-hat is doing triplets, the snare drum is playing 2 and 4 backbeats, and the bass drum is on 1 and the & of 2. Jeff Porcaro on "Hold the Line", in a 1988 interview with Modern Drummer: The verses were subsequently finished two hours later. After toying with the piano riff one night, he started singing "Hold the line, love isn't always on time", and found the lyric to be a suitable fit. He began with the piano riff, which would become the song's intro and chorus. Keyboardist David Paich noted that the song was relatively easy to develop.

Compared to current plans, the transformation would create 7 million more jobs and boost global GDP by 2.5%.

Renewables – including power generation, end-use applications and biofuels – would account for USD 27 trillion worth of energy transformation investments by 2050.

Much of the USD 95 trillion currently planned for investments by 2050 must be redirected from fossil fuel investments to clean technologies.

Creating a climate-safe system calls for USD 110 trillion worth of investments in the energy sector by 2050, compared to USD 95 trillion currently planned.

But to make this happen, the pace and depth of investments in renewables must be accelerated without delay, the report urges. A comprehensive energy transformation can create a better energy system – one capable of ensuring that average global temperatures at the end of the century are no more than 1.5☌ above pre-industrial levels. IRENA’s analysis shows that planned fossil-fuel investments must be substantially redirected, with annual investments in renewables more than doubled for the coming decade.

This report from the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) explores two broad future paths: Current Plans (meaning the course set by current and planned policies) and the path for a clean, climate-resilient Energy Transformation. But those plans and related investments are not always channelled toward climate proof systems. National plans and investment patterns, however, show a stark mismatch with the pathway to meet the commitments set out in the Paris Agreement, which would keep the rise in global temperatures well below 2 degrees ( oC) and ideally hold the line at 1.5 oC.Īt least USD 95 trillion worth of energy investments are planned worldwide until mid-century. In response to the threat of climate change, countries around the world have pledged to invest in low-carbon energy. – and holding the line on rising global temperatures
