with Alden Abaca on drums and Karel Honasan on bass, this song was re-recorded from a college thesis I had made an original score for, some couple of years ago. Now released under the Dakila Artist Collective album to promote awareness on Climate Change, I hope you support the cause as well.

“Still Reaching Out” is a song about invisible loneliness — the kind that hides behind polite questions and everyday routines. It’s about those moments when no one really asks how you are, yet you keep breathing, keep loving, keep reaching out.

The lyrics follow a quiet inner dialogue: a voice that has grown older, softer, and more reflective. It remembers the warmth of family, the echo of laughter in empty rooms, and the silence that follows when everyone moves on. But within that silence, something still glows — a fragile hope, a hand still reaching toward the world.

Musically, this track blends Acoustic Electronica and Organic House, built around a warm fingerpicked acoustic guitar, soft e-bow textures, and a subtle analog synth lead that mirrors the human voice. The vocals sit close and intimate — mature, textured, and full of quiet strength. Every breath and pause carries meaning.

The atmosphere evolves from melancholy to acceptance, from isolation to a faint rebirth — not dramatic, but deeply human. It’s a song that doesn’t seek attention, but understanding.

💫 For those who have felt unseen, yet still choose to reach out.

🎙 Lyrics – “Still Reaching Out”  
Written & Performed by Tom Lysar  

Verse 1  
I watch the morning breaking glass  
I see the dust — it moves like time  
A message blinks and fades at last  
My name falls empty down the line  

Pre-Chorus  
I tell myself that I’m okay  
But empty rooms still say my name  
The world moves on — I stay the same  
Between the noise, I fade away  

Chorus  
I’m invisible among the living  
A shadow breathing through the crowd  
They ask “how are you?” — I’m still breathing  
Still reaching out, still reaching out  

Verse 2  
My children sail in faster skies  
Their laughter lingers in these walls  
They chase their dreams — I let them rise  
I send them love with every call  

Pre-Chorus  
I talk to ghosts of what we were  
To photographs that never blur  
I breathe between what’s left behind  
And hope one day they’ll call me mine  

Chorus  
I’m invisible among the living  
A shadow breathing through the crowd  
They ask “how are you?” — I’m still breathing  
Still reaching out, still reaching out  

Bridge  
Maybe loneliness is not the end  
Maybe it’s where I start again  
If no one asks how I have been  
I’ll listen to myself within  

Final Chorus – Part 1  
I’m invisible among the living  
A shadow breathing through the crowd  
They ask “how are you?” — I’m still breathing  
Still reaching out, still reaching out  

Final Chorus – Part 2  
I’m invisible among the living  
But now I’m standing in the light  
No one asked, but I’m still breathing  
Still reaching out, still reaching out
