Name: Losing Ground
Duration: P00H03M47S
Description: Written probably 2009 and recorded in 2010 with Scott Schilling (drums) and Dane Ogden (bass) . . . I'd forgotten about this song and recording till I was tidying up some stuff in early 2023. I listened to it, and though I don't believe it's the best thing ever, I did enjoy it. I decided to put it out into the world. Thanks for listening!

lyrics

I'm trying hard to get on my feet
I'm trying hard to make ends meet
I'm losing ground even as we speak
I need to sit down; I need to think
I'm trying hard to get on my feet
I'm losing ground even as we speak

I shook my cage and I howled at the moon
I flew over the cuckoo's nest for you
I lay in bed till late afternoon
But I do my best to pretend it's cool
I shook my cage and howled at the moon
I flew over the cuckoo's nest for you

You can feel the rattle that's in my bones
You can hear me sigh; you can feel me moan
I'm a sight to see; I'm a thing to behold
I've done some things and need to atone
I can feel the burn down in my soul
You can hear my cry; you can feel my moan

I'm seen the sun set over the sea
I've seen the city lights in the eve
I've travelled far and wide it's true
I've felt the holy spirit move
But I know these things don't matter to you
I don't know what in the world there is for me to do

about

Reece Sullivan Lafayette, Louisiana

Over the course of the years, I've reinvented myself musically many times: piano to guitar, classical to art rock, art rock to folk, flat picking to finger-picking, solely songwriting to performing. My latest incarnation has me playing out often, sometimes touring, and writing and recording consistently. ... more
