'Hardest to Reach', the 1st Single from 'One Thousand Birds' by GRICE, released on 22 February 2019.
Hardest to Reach is a hypnotic electro-acoustic gem drawn from the dark well of personal experience, loss and despair alchemised into an uplifting anthem for the unconsoled.
lyrics
Hardest to Reach (lyrics)
The shadow of a doubt
We hope you never sort it out.
I don’t know why but she helps me believe
There is love in my head, something is free'd
You and me, that’s something to be
And our love isn’t stained, with the
Marks that we shouldn’t have made.
It’s just my heart aches
And up and and down - Its’ just a matter of time
Weeping from points that we shouldn’t have made
Up to my head, over my grave
Am I defining this beautiful timing
When love lets you down
And you’re drowning again
Hardest to reach
People I want - people I need
People like you - people like me.
It’s a heartache
Does your heart ache
Over my head, loveless but love leaves you drowning
You know that you’re frowning again
Over my grave
And the people I want
Are the hardest to reach
Now I’m down, will I ever be free
And the people I want are the hardest to reach
People I want - people I need
People like you - people like me
It’s a heart ache
Does your hear ache
Up and down
It’s just a change of heart.

Whilst delivering well crafted music, unless you focus on the lyrics, you could miss the story lines. This is the last of the war trilogy, so subtle ,but so poignant. Superb music with broken road and Holding On ,on permanent repeat. Listen and become enthralled. Top quality song writing and musicianship.10/10
