Skirmish: "THE STONE IN MY HAND" (@corinnecurcio)Liner Notes
#garageband #folk #girlwithpiano #skirmish
This is a much-delayed post to the "The Stone In My Hand" skirmish. I'm on another work trip, with nothing but my iPad and my flute. Just went with the onscreen keyboard this time, and my lav mic. Getting #garageband to play nice took a lot of work.
Lyrics
Losing My Grip
Jemma Kline
Put the glasses in the cupboard,
Trace each shape as they go in.
Feel my fingers slowly weaken,
See my lifeline growing thin.
I’m holding on,
Holding on with both my hands,
Stony grip replaced by sand,
I’m holding on.
Black and white are both familiar,
Forming notes of songs I play.
Will I lose the strength to move them,
As the rhythm slowly fades?
I’m holding on,
Holding on with both my hands,
Stony grip replaced by sand,
I’m holding on.
Shards upon the tiled floor,
Crimson stains on Waterford.
Missing measures, broken chords,
Count the rhythm, come up short.
I’m holding on,
Holding on with both my hands,
Stony grip replaced by sand,
I’m holding on.

So this one really speaks to me. First of all, you sound awesome and personal and vulnerable. Second, I love a piano/vocal ballad. Such vivid lyrics, too. Love it!
