Grip

about

Grip - a song about a power struggle and the inevitable transfer of power from the old to the new.

lyrics

Once, when I held it in my hand
Hold the power and understand
What it’s like to be you
What it’s like to take control

I’m losing my grasp on it
I feel the power begin to slip
So far to fall down
And now I’m one amongst a crowd

I see you way up there
I gotta climb back up
To hold your hand

And I will stand up by your side
Only if I climb
If I can climb

Grip, grip, grip
Why don't you just grip
When you can't hold on no more

One foot upon the rung
One leap and I’ve begun
The journey back to
The castle in the sun

One step for me to take
Pull up and escalate
Reach your hand out
And pull me through the gate

I can see you standing there
With your arms outstretched
And a menacing stare
You don’t want to share your throne
You kick me off
And down I go

Grip, grip, grip
Why don't you just grip
When you can't hold on no more

about

James Straits England, UK

I'm an unsigned artist from Dorset, UK.
I had a break from music for about 8 years until I started again last year.
Whilst I wasn't playing music life had taught me some lessons and provided me with plenty of ideas for new songs, in August 2019 I decided to play the piano and start writing again.
So I'm a singer/songwriter who also records and produces my own work.
