So I really want to touch on the transition this song goes through. Let me start by saying... this is my favorite song. I could listen to it over and over and not get tired of it, and have done so. So... Catch these hands is a bit of a meme. "Thou dost not want to catch these hands" was the first time I saw it... but in a modern contest it's a receiving end aggression. "Catch these hands" in this context would mean "You're gon' get slapped" And I think in the first section of this track that's the intended use.. but that's just it. it's the intended use.. it's used as a set up.. it's used as a "I'm feeling very confident currently stage." And as many might know.. that mindset doesn't always last.. so post saxophone monologue (amazing by the way.. seriously had me hand gripping and looking upwards in confidence at times) the message shifts to "wait.. I can also have a vulnerable moment too.. can't I? I don't always have to put on the façade of being strong and self reliant.." so "catch these hands" has a literal shift... from "feeling the slap of these hands" to.. "please, literally catch these hands in your own because dammit that would really help me out, ya'heard" in the sense of Patricia and well.. anyone who identifies with this track.. There's no shame in asking for help. There's no shame in not being a one person show... I don't know if I've ever met a happy person who believes they're a one person act... If you're struggling, reach out.
I really resonate with this track lately. I've been in a really bad life situation past... Well almost decade, and I just got out of it, which made me very confident and i feel really good about life. But it also made me realize how extremely lonely i am and have been for years
Lyrics : There comes a day when I've spent enough time growing old Illuminated by the skylight of my pitiable soul (Take the worst things out, I can't be bereft to good stuff. Free falling, oh, free falling, ah.) There comes a day when I've heard enough about my life The street is paved for me, no leans or aggravating lights. (Take the best in life, there must be something for me. Free falling, oh, free falling, ah.) The road will lead me where the alabaster clings, where the yellow plaster sings, all night long Oh, I can't wait, unparalleled, unstoppable, unique The world's about to get a note from me. Catch these hands! For anyone who's fucking with my plans! These hands! For anyone who tells me this or that! These hands! If the whole world thinks that it's too good for me! Catch these hands if you'd like to come and see! Catch these hands if anyone would like come and to play The fire finds a way! I'm something dangerous today-- I'm something fabulous and strange-- I'm something harrowing and grave, So take a good look if you may. There comes a day when I've spent enough time tilling the earth The soil is soft enough, no digging for these flowers to unfurl. (Take the worst things out, I can't be bereft to good stuff. Free falling, oh, free falling ah.) There comes a day when I've spent enough time waiting for my turn The doors are open now, there's no bridges left to burn. (Take the best in life, there must be something for me. Free falling, oh, free falling ah.) The road will lead me where the alabaster clings, where the yellow plaster sings, all night long. Oh, I can't wait, unparalleled, unstoppable, unique The world's about to get a note from me. Catch these hands! For anyone who's fucking with my plans! These hands! For anyone who tells me this or that! These hands! If the whole world thinks that it's too good for me! Catch these hands if you'd like to come and see! Catch these hands if anyone would like to come and play The fire finds a way! I'm something dangerous today-- I'm something fabulous and strange-- I'm something harrowing and grave, So take a good look if you may. Let the right one in; don't think about it Don't let them out of your sight It's up to you now Let the right one in; don't think about it You have nothing else to lose, why can't you see that?- Let the right one in; don't think about it Don't let them out of your sight It's up to you now Let the right one in; don't think about it You have nothing else to lose, why can't you see that?- Let the right one in; don't think about it Don't let them out of your sight It's up to you now Let the right one in; don't think about it You have nothing else to lose, why can't you see that?- Let the right one in; don't think about it Don't let them out of your sight It's up to you now Let the right one in; don't think about it You have nothing else to lose, why can't you see that?- You have nothing else to lose, why can't you see that? The day is almost done I'm restless as the sun Yet lost without someone to care for me It's hard to reconcile this need With what I thought myself to be But maybe I can learn to love being needy Catch these hands, if anyone would like to get to know me These hands, for anyone with the where-with-all to hold me These hands, 'cause I don't think I can make it on my own Catch these hands if you'd like to take me home When the world grows dark, will you be there, fighting into the night? Take me anywhere I thank you for someone sweet, someone dangerous If anyone would like to catch me Catch these hands if anyone would like to get to know me These hands, for anyone with the where-with-all to hold me These hands, 'cause I don't think I can make it on my own So catch these hands if you'd like to take me home When the world grows dark, will you be there, fighting into the night? Take me anywhere I thank you for someone sweet, someone dangerous If anyone would like to catch me

Patricia realy said
"catch these hands!,
in yours,
we're holding hands now"
God I fucking love this album
stop being autistic
@@aluminumslug I tried that! It made me wanna hang myself.
Its always a pleasant surprise how long this song is
this whole song feels so sassy and i love it
i listen to this at least 5 times daily
still going
This one has strong They Might Be Giants vibes, and I mean that as the STRONGEST of compliments. 💕
Just love that spike of emotion when the first sax solo hits

I needed this song rn on so many levels
The defensive sass at the start. The honest vulnerable pleas for help at the end. Me fr
Lyrics :
There comes a day when I've spent enough time growing old
Illuminated by the skylight of my pitiable soul
(Take the worst things out, I can't be bereft to good stuff. Free falling, oh, free falling, ah.)
There comes a day when I've heard enough about my life
The street is paved for me, no leans or aggravating lights.
(Take the best in life, there must be something for me. Free falling, oh, free falling, ah.)
The road will lead me where the alabaster clings, where the yellow plaster sings, all night long
Oh, I can't wait, unparalleled, unstoppable, unique
The world's about to get a note from me.
Catch these hands! For anyone who's fucking with my plans!
These hands! For anyone who tells me this or that!
These hands! If the whole world thinks that it's too good for me!
Catch these hands if you'd like to come and see!
Catch these hands if anyone would like come and to play
The fire finds a way!
I'm something dangerous today-- I'm something fabulous and strange-- I'm something harrowing and grave,
So take a good look if you may.
There comes a day when I've spent enough time tilling the earth
The soil is soft enough, no digging for these flowers to unfurl.
(Take the worst things out, I can't be bereft to good stuff. Free falling, oh, free falling ah.)
There comes a day when I've spent enough time waiting for my turn
The doors are open now, there's no bridges left to burn.
(Take the best in life, there must be something for me. Free falling, oh, free falling ah.)
The road will lead me where the alabaster clings, where the yellow plaster sings, all night long.
Oh, I can't wait, unparalleled, unstoppable, unique
The world's about to get a note from me.
Catch these hands! For anyone who's fucking with my plans!
These hands! For anyone who tells me this or that!
These hands! If the whole world thinks that it's too good for me!
Catch these hands if you'd like to come and see!
Catch these hands if anyone would like to come and play
The fire finds a way!
I'm something dangerous today-- I'm something fabulous and strange-- I'm something harrowing and grave,
So take a good look if you may.
Let the right one in; don't think about it
Don't let them out of your sight
It's up to you now
Let the right one in; don't think about it
You have nothing else to lose, why can't you see that?-
Let the right one in; don't think about it
Don't let them out of your sight
It's up to you now
Let the right one in; don't think about it
You have nothing else to lose, why can't you see that?-
Let the right one in; don't think about it
Don't let them out of your sight
It's up to you now
Let the right one in; don't think about it
You have nothing else to lose, why can't you see that?-
Let the right one in; don't think about it
Don't let them out of your sight
It's up to you now
Let the right one in; don't think about it
You have nothing else to lose, why can't you see that?-
You have nothing else to lose, why can't you see that?
The day is almost done
I'm restless as the sun
Yet lost without someone to care for me
It's hard to reconcile this need
With what I thought myself to be
But maybe I can learn to love being needy
Catch these hands, if anyone would like to get to know me
These hands, for anyone with the where-with-all to hold me
These hands, 'cause I don't think I can make it on my own
Catch these hands if you'd like to take me home
When the world grows dark, will you be there, fighting into the night?
Take me anywhere
I thank you for someone sweet, someone dangerous
If anyone would like to catch me
Catch these hands if anyone would like to get to know me
These hands, for anyone with the where-with-all to hold me
These hands, 'cause I don't think I can make it on my own
So catch these hands if you'd like to take me home
When the world grows dark, will you be there, fighting into the night?
Take me anywhere
I thank you for someone sweet, someone dangerous
If anyone would like to catch me

@@madladthad2403 Right? Its such a good song overall. Love the shift in tone it has as well when you get to the latter portion of it.
@@madladthad2403 Guess Imma use replying to you as a reason to come back and listen to it again today
When I see the video only has 4401 views I imagine probably 1/4 of those are me from the last year.

@@dtniland Something like that
12k views still isn't enough to be honest.
