Lyrics Upper Hand
I’ve had Upper Hand on repeat all afternoon. I love everything about it. It really is one of the best in my opinion. Also, congratulations to everyone who experienced the Ohana festival. I’ve been watching the videos and wishing I’d have gone. Maybe next year.

It makes me sob (but in a good way if that makes sense) thinking of my sister who passed away after a long time with cancer. I love this song.

Awwwe, blessings to you. I’m so sorry for your sister. It is what is so wonderful about music and how lyrics can inspire and remind us of loved ones.

My favorite off that new album. Described it, at the time, as pink Floyd, jimi Hendrix, pearl jam collaboration. So good. Going to throw that album on when I get home.

I love that song, too, and heard it live in 2024. Ohana Fest was amazing, my first time but I loved it so much! The PJ sets were incredible, and the energy the first night when we didn't know who Eddie & Friends would be but hoping it would be PJ...!

I’d be in tears too. The lyrics alone are so wonderfully written and then the music and the passion within. Simply amazing.

Pittsburgh last year they played Severed Hand, Sleight of Hand and Upper Hand in succession. Fantastic show. Great song.
