Rick Reed

This song grew from the process of writing songs and particularly lyrics. Staring at the blank page is always a daunting thing. It makes no sense why some songs come out so fast it feels as though I’m taking dictation. Lyrics essentially complete in just minutes. Melody and chords pouring out so quickly that I’m desperate to get my phone out to capture the moment before it disappears back into the ether. And yet other songs are a long and painful process that feel like I am chipping away at them for months. “…sometimes a river, sometimes a stream”
