Fun Facts:
Losing Your Grip is a song that George wrote in 1985.
Each verse is about a separate person and their struggles with insanity and mental health.
There are some delightfully gnarly chords and key changes and the chorus has power and a great groove to it.
Ken does a brilliant job of not quite having all of his cups in the cupboard.
The whacked out guitar noise is made by turning all three knobs on the Electric Mistress up to 11.
Most of Losing Your Grip is in common time, although there are parts in six time and some completely atemporal parts.
The photo is of Ken in the foreground with Cliff, at a party.
