The Dear Hunter 'Red Hands'

The Dear Hunter "Red Hands" off of the album, "Act II: The Meaning Of, & All Things Regarding Ms. Leading"

[mickydarland]

I met Casey on a sidewalk in Seattle. They were playing a show somewhere there on Capitol Hill and he was just standing out on the sidewalk in front of the venue meeting people. Now I'm a grouchy fifty something Dad whose teenage daughter wanted to see them--again. She knew better than to go up there without help, but she needed a ride and one of here male friends decided to go with her--beautiful! we can all deal with that and make it happen! We gave them a ride and knew we were just going to hang around so we could give a ride home also. When I met Casey he said I looked familiar and he had seen me before-this was the 2nd time my wife and I had made sure my daughter made it to and from to see them--The first time was at the Crocodile in Seattle and we mostly stayed in the bar while they were playing--maybe he saw me in the crowd once or twice, if so that's a dude that really looks and connects with his audience 'cause it was mobbed! Now I had listened to them and thought they were good like any other professionals, but that night while we were waiting out on that sidewalk, seeing things you can't even believe exists, the club opened the doors and TDH blew everything going by's mind. I got hooked and I'm still a 50 something grouchy ass, but I am unrepairably indoctrinated.

This band along with radiohead and deftones helped me get through my lonely and cold 6 month deployment. I would always love them.

You know, I think Cacey said once that this is one of his least favorite songs from them. That's a real shame because it's always been one of my favorites. He said it came from a bitter place and I think that is one of the reasons I love it so much. It's a very real song that touches on how love can make you insecure or irrational and looking for something to blame for your pain. That being said, it just sounds amazing with real emotion and they really have only gotten better with time.

"I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve, on display for you to I'm on display" Right in the feels :, )

[noworldforeric]

One of the best songs on one of the best albums ever produced.

[Oh_its_Mike]

This is my most favorite song to sing when my voice is feeling particularly warmed up and brave.

[teoalmc]

This song has major music video potential

[IntoRedOceans]

Just plugging in your headphones, sitting down, closing your eyes, & just listening. So Beautiful.

[horXhay]

This will always be my favorite song by them. They are so amazing.

[darkphoenix]

There's so much good music out there...I haven't listened to this song in a while and I feel bad about it. Something about it will always be special to me.

edit: Another year later and the feelings are even more pronounced because of what was going on in my life when I found this band. I'll always think of her when I hear this music...

[nickjones]

Even if you never strayed from me
I'd question your fidelity
There'd always be a shroud of suspicion
And my heart's a liability

With your hands marooned so freshly red
You'd wrap your lips around my neck
Try and forced to love the thought of me
Simple motions make me ill

Was it bitter when you tossed and turned
On his under cover mattress?
Did it feel so good?
Hope it felt so good
Don't know what I'd do if you lost sleep over little old me
He's so much better
They're all much better
Take off your sweater your shoes and your shirt
And get to work

Maybe this is just a work of art
Scripted players in a play of lust
Hope the end is well worth waiting for
Everything you wished it be

Was it bitter when you tossed and turned
On his under cover mattress?
Did it feel so good?
Hope it felt so good
Don't know what I'd do if you lost sleep over little old me
He's so much better
They're all much better
Take off your sweater your shoes and your shirt
And get to work

Oh my god what have I done
Now my darling put your clothes back on
[x2]

Because you can't be caught red handed if you're not red handed
My darling I would never say those words to you
I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve
On display for you to see I'm on display
[x2]

(Oh my god what have I done)
(Now my darling put your clothes back on)
[x2]
(Now my darling put your clothes back on)

Because you can't be caught red handed if you're not red handed
My darling I would never say those words to you
I was pulling out my heart so I could pin it to my sleeve
On display for you to see I'm on display

(Oh my god what have I done?)
(Now my darling put your clothes back on) [x2]

[Saghaley]
