about

While in clinical I met a patient who had been in a motor vehicle accident and became paralyzed from the neck down. I was blown away by his kindness to the medical staff, and his determination to walk again.

White Knuckle Double Down
Holly Kirsten
October 2019

You can strip me of my dignity
Just like you strip the sheets from this bed
You can tie me down and make me cry
But you ain’t never gonna get to my head

This is the white knuckle double down, boys, yeah
This is the white knuckle double down, boys.

You may disregard the things I say
But I’m gonna speak my truth, anyway
You can lay me low and paralyze
But I will gather strength and I will rise

This is the white knuckle double down, boys, yeah
This is the white knuckle double down, boys.

SOLO

This is the white knuckle double down, boys, yeah
This is the white knuckle double down, boys.

You ain’t seen the last of me, no
I may not come back sweetly
You can’t have a hold on me, no
I’ll find a way to break free

You can take my strength and leave me still
But I ain’t gonna lose my will
Cause there’s a fire deep inside
And I’m finding it hard, I’m finding it hard to hide it

I have been singing, creating new songs, and playing stringed instruments for as long as I can remember. I love sharing music with others and have played with several local bands in the Hampton Roads region.

I also produce my own music. All the songs that you hear are, with the exception of a few special appearances, my own creation. ... more
