Ingrid Michaelson - 'Handsome Hands' (Official Audio)

"Handsome Hands" by Ingrid Michaelson from the album Lights Out.

HANDSOME HANDS
Written by Ingrid Michaelson
Breakable Girls Music (ASCAP) 2014

I think I'm the only one who really knows
What the emptiness inside of us will show us
We are only tiny babies living right here
Gone the way of someone else's bygone year

Can you feel me crying out to you are somewhere?
Can I see you?

When the lights do go out where do we all go?
When the fallout comes we know the show must go
Please just give to me your pair of handsome hands
Then I really won't care where my body lands

Can you feel me crying out to you are somewhere?
Can I see you?
Can you feel me crying out to you are somewhere?
Can I see you?

This song is so unique and cool! At your concert you said you almost didn't put it on the album because it's weird but then you said "weird is good!" And that's so true!!

I've listened to all the tracks from LIGHTS OUT, and each one is quite moving in its own way, but this song is incredibly stunning...Musically, lyrically, and vocally, this amazing tune is a three and a half minute opera!  Yet another masterpiece, Ingrid...WELL DONE!

[chazzyp]

Ingrid...I saw you, Alternate Routes, and Storyman perform at First Avenue Saturday/Sunday.  The show was completely and phenomenally powerful!  It was especially nice to see your bandmate, Chris, stand in with Storyman.  I don't tweet or text or FACEBOOK, but I will take it upon myself to say that you are ALWAYS welcome in Minneapolis; your vocal and musical strength is uncanny....AND, though it is difficult for me to choose a "favorite" song from LIGHTS OUT, I do lean heavily toward "Handsome Hands"  My best wishes are yours in your remaining tour dates...!

I saw you at the Mall of America on Friday and you were incredible! You are AMAZING live and I absolutely love this entire album! I love you so much and you are so sweet! I'm so lucky I got to meet you!

I could not love this song more. The funereal / spanish style dirge from 1:36 through 2:25 is epic. Fills my heart <3

[christine]

Wow this one on the album sounds so much like Lana Del Rey!

[QUARTERMASTEREMI]

This track somehow belongs on a James Bond film score next to dramatic orchestral instrumentals and passionate ballads. *(but cue the a-ha moment!)* ♡

[brandonkbaker]

I need a private striptease to this before I die lol. Idk. maybe I'm only that feels that way...

The other side of the show, the far side. Before I shut my blind eye.
