lyrics

Grip

Grab a hold (hold, hold).
Hold on for dear life.
Where’d that handle go?
Get a grip,
or you’ll slip,
and go down.

Take a look (look, look).
Look out left and right,
and above and below.
From all sides,
it collides
and comes down.

Holding still, still holding
holding pattern,
waiting like the rings of Saturn.
Waiting to coalesce or disperse,
not knowing if I’m in forward
or reverse.

Take it in (in, in).
In case it’s encased,
keep it well contained,
or spill the cup,
’cause what goes up
must come down.

Let it go (go, go).
Let go for dear life.
If you can, let loose.
Let it slip,
or you’ll grip
and go down.

about

David Garland New York, New York

Composer/singer/multi-instrumentalist David Garland has been steadily shaping songs in new ways since 1980.

"Like many great songwriters before him, Garland pushes the limits of acceptable harmony and dissonance, yet never at the expense of beauty. If it's not possible for popular music to reach the heights of the great classical masters, it seems no one has told David Garland."
--Sean Lennon
