Hand Habits - placeholder
from the album placeholder

Directed by Madeline Kenney

I come back to this song often. It’s so heartbreakingly beautiful. Last week’s show in San Diego will stay with me forever.

[rinmoiipachuau]

in a way, i love how songs like these are so under-rated cause it makes it that much more valuable

[johndorian]

Last time that I saw you
Both hands in the dirt
Asking for a photograph
A picture you did not deserve

Oh, but I was just a placeholder
A lesson to be learned
Oh, I was just a placeholder
A place you will return

Last time that I heard your voice Words I couldn't comprehend
As a thousand years of feedback Screaming in my head

Oh, but I was just a placeholder Exchange for what you had
Oh, I was just a placeholder
A tension you retract

Curious, I came to you
You wordlessly ignored
As I stumbled psychically upon a truth I could not afford

Oh, but I was just a placeholder
A place and nothing more
Oh, I was just a placeholder
With nothing to stand for

And this is where I doubted you
An endless compromise
To say that you told me to the truth is to tell each other lies
Oh, but now you are a placeholder Blinded by desire
Oh, now you're just a placeholder For someone wasting time

song is lovely and sad, captures what im going through completly

[MultiSweener]

Nice meaningful tune. Fantastic voice. I'm 57, and have been through many genres, each having their specialties. This is one of them.

[kevinmurphy]

A music friend turned me onto this stuff in a conversation about guitar tone - grateful and anticipating more

[nomudnolotusnodragonnogold]

This has such a lovely flow.
Always gives me a lil rush.

[OllieKubrick]

Saw them live at London Calling and they played this song. It was so fucking awesome. This band is going to blow up!

[stefano.bstef]

saw at her in bristol and glasgow february, great memories. bought the album soon after

[NewAlternativeChart]

"placeholder" debuted at #19 on the New Alternative 40 Chart this week!

[ScottTeresi]

Never clicked anything so fast. MEG IS BACK!

[crishars]

finally an artist that doesn't use autotune and tripop or video fast and drone cam very spontaneous and simply with a good feeling
pardon my bad english

[nicotsaousis]

Excellent. Just a quick note, the album is realeased March 1st 2019, not 2018.
I also don't get the dislikes. When I don't like something I just move on. I can't undestand what brought someone here. Did they have other expectations from "Hand Habits"? Of course they are free to dislike when that button is there, I just don't understand why someone would go into the trouble to listen to almost 4 minutes of music one doesn't like.

[piggystardust]

Looking forward for the album... <3

[abandonment]

what's with the dislikes?? this song is dope

[jeroen]

I feel like the producers of Swift's 'Folklore' really took cues from this song

[lurk]

Why does this sound so familiar I heard the lyrics before I think

[Joaoc]

Good song but first thought that came to my mind was 'Hey that's Danger Bird by Neil Young'

[blackfrend]

Neil Young and Aimee Mann had a baby together say what???😲

[melherron]

Now your just a placeholder for someone wastin time…,
