Holy Holy Life[1] is een single van Golden Earring uit 1971. Het is niet afkomstig van een van hun reguliere studioalbums.
Thema en geschiedenis
"Het o-zo-heilige leven is soms eenzaam, droef en gek, maar vroeg of laat ga je dood", aldus schrijver George Kooymans. De B-kant gaat over ene Jessica en is geschreven door Barry Hay en Rinus Gerritsen.
Alhoewel de verkoopcijfers schril afstaken tegen voorganger Back Home bleef de muziekgroep het nummer steeds spelen. Het kwam daardoor op een aantal verzamelalbums en livealbums terecht.
