Joshua Radin - “These Hands” (Live Performance Video)

Описание: "Many years ago, I heard Bill Withers’ classic “Grandma’s Hands” and it knocked me over. I’ve written so many songs since, some describing attributes such as eyes, smiles, you know, the standards… The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to write a song about hands - the way we accomplish so many differing tasks utilizing them. My mind can get the better of me, my eyes have often deceived me. But my hands, I can always count on them to play guitar, to paint, to hold a loved one, to fix something that’s broken, to brace myself for a fall, to applaud something or someone that moves me…"

A live studio performance of “These Hands,” from Joshua Radin's albums, 'One Day Home’ and ‘One Day Home - piano vocal versions.’

"These Hands"

If we unfold 'em, reach out 'em out slowly
Fall and they'll hold me intertwined

And if we don't let go, stay in the echo
That hangs in the hallway all our lives
They'll make you dinner at the end of the day
They'll work to the bone so the bills are paid
They're calloused by the strings I play, but you don't mind

My head, sometimes lost in a daydream
My heart can often go unseen
My eyes, used to look past your shoulder
But as they've gotten older
You can always count on these hands

They can tread water when life gets harder
They can reach across the great divide
They come together when I need to pray
Before we try to sleep in the bed we made
And as the plans we had have begun to fade
It's still the same

It's my head, sometimes lost in a daydream
My heart can often go unseen
My eyes, used to look past your shoulder
But as they've gotten older
You can always count on these hands

Though they've been wrong, they can still feel stronger than

My head, sometimes lost in a daydream
My heart can often go unseen
My eyes, used to look past your shoulder
But as they've gotten older
You can always count on these hands

These hands
