Looking Up - Taylor Reed

Hey pals 🧡🎻 It’s been a while. Here’s a live recording of my most requested original song “Looking Up.” I hope you enjoy! It’s been a crazy and tough year for most of us. Hold on, there is hope... I wrote this song after choosing not to take my own life. If you’re in a similar place, please know you’re not alone and you are loved. If you feel abandoned, let this song be a reminder that our humanity connects us all even in the darkest of times and you can make it through. Xo - T

[@samx9024]

Wow. The total package. Stunning all around.. incredible.

[@marlonbravo9466]

I feel your pain. Thank you for performing this piece.

[@quietnoise0113]

Your talent is mind blowing...but the comment in the description of this song is even more amazing. I hope anyone that is struggling sees what you wrote and this song helps them through the dark times. I hope the KZbin algorithm gives this song all the recognition it truly deserves!!

Such beautiful music from a beautiful girl with a beautiful soul! Please know you have a gift that should be shared, not taken away! I have been there too…I too chose to keep going. We are here to make music. Thank you for sharing your gifts and heart! You have inspired me to follow your creative steps as a way to make my music new and fresh, even as I approach age 60! I did nashvegas. I had record deal, which I turned down to stay home with my kids. I have played all over as solo, with a band, country, rock, bluegrass, and all in between. I bought a looper and have found new life! I play acoustic and electric guitar, violin and mandolin. You have inspired me to find ways to use them all with my looping station. Thank you! Keep sharing your gifts! Consider doing videos to share your gear and techniques and tips. Thank you, thank you for sharing your music! What do you use as an octaver for bass? Love your music! Please keep sharing!

Lovely performance and a beautiful voice. I'm glad you managed to find a way through the darkness, Taylor. Life can be challenging, but there is still so much beauty if we just hang in there and keep moving forward.
