about

I wrote "These Hands" for my wife Victoria.

I recorded the guitar and vocals together as a single, live take and then added the piano in after.

The cover art is from the day my wife and I started dating, February 28th, 2011.

lyrics

I wanna give you these hands, if you’ll give me the chance, I’ll never give you up, I’ll never give you up. I wanna give you this heart, I want you just the way you are, you were always enough, you were always enough.

I want you to see me for all I am, I wanna be your man, I wanna be your man. I want to know you like nobody else knows you, I wanna understand, I wanna understand.

And I want you to know.

If the world stops turning underneath our feet, and the sky starts falling over you and me, if the mountains disappear into the seas, and we’re standing in the wreckage of what used to be, I’ll love you just the same, I’ll love you just the same.

I wanna give you tomorrow, if you give me today, I wanna bring you happiness and steal your pain, I want emptiness in me, to echo with your name.

I want you to see me for all I am, I wanna be your man, I wanna be your man. I want to know you like nobody else knows you, I wanna understand, I wanna understand.

And I want you to know.

If the world stops turning underneath our feet, and the sky starts falling over you and me, if the mountains disappear into the seas, and we’re standing in the wreckage of what used to be, I’ll love you just the same, I’ll love you just the same.

Virtual Heaven
by Infinity Crush

Just found this by chance in the "if you like David Stone... section" - It's a beautifully warm record, clean and smooth, but without being polished to a shine. Perfect walking-in-Autumn record. David Stone
