about

Hold My Hand

There is always doubt.

"Is this one good enough??"  I asked my wife this question more than a few times.   Here is an example of a song that you can hear "life" in… you hear my dog’s collar shaking here and there throughout the song.  We sang those "do do do"'s in the afternoon light near nap time - Dre had a nap every day.  I could swear the schoolhouse had moods, like a person.  Before nap times it has a mood of relaxed indifference.  Nothing will matter, because the world still spins and right now, in this moment, you can rest knowing that this moment is OK.  

Imagine a few guys tinkering at night with some keyboard sounds and a "mini" Moog (that high synth type sound you hear).  The end of the song is coming around again and the end of another take, but Tom doesn't stop.  In his mind it's not over, so we sing, and he plays keys. "Fame fame fame fame fame, what's your name, oh, what's your name…" Fortunately, Andre is on the ball as always, and flips on a room mic to capture some strange and wonderful noise recorded on the fly for a very suitable ending.  You can hear someone’s headphones drop as we call it a day.  

Yeah, this is a good one. 

lyrics

I hear you in the whispering of my name
I can tell the difference it's the same
There's so much that I can't understand
So lets just walk, you can hold my hand.

Oooooooooooooo you can hold my hand.

You see there's this big difference between you and me
But its hard to look when you can't see
Sometimes my feet move but nothing else
Ya, my faith shakes like everyone else

Yay though… I walk
I will not fear
Open up your hand, and I'll match you tear for tear
