Still Holding On & Shifting Gears

I had thought I might write a new song on my hiatus from the big writing. Well. A few ideas crossed over but I’m not riveted, and I really only write a song once in a deep blue moon. Instead, I’m catching up on some other music projects.

“Holding On & Shifting Gears” never feels finished. Ack. But it has been with me since my first weeks of guitar/singing several years ago so, in a sense, it’s helping me learn. I periodically video when I practice so that I can see where I might hope to improve. Last summer I strung together clips from movies of me working on this song. That extended version is 8 minutes loooooong. A friend suggested I make a version with the final clip only. Months later, here it is… 2 minutes and 37 seconds. It’s not HQ anything.

Thank you for listening!
