do the twist

i had my itunes playlist shuffle on while i cleaned tonight. some "old" songs came on. it's always interesting to hear music that i used to listen to. to realize how my tastes have changed, but also remember exactly why i liked the music i liked before. it's a weird feeling. but a good one.







i vividly remember how this city was - slightly - obsessed with dave barnes when i was in college. and more specifically, with this song.

i'm going to have to listen to more of his music later. so many memories are wrapped up in it, for me. music is like that for me. i connect it to certain times of my life, and just a few notes of a familiar song can sweep me away.



Grace's amazing hands, they hold me
They're as soft as a feather bed
She would never try to scold me
She knows the words that work instead

I always thought that love was frightening
I always thought it'd be so rough
Love has sent me down an angel baby
I knew it was grace, just by her touch

Grace's amazing hands, they're ugly
They're bruised by the blows that I've blown
She knows well I don't deserve her
She laughs and says
"Thats the way love goes"

I always thought that love was frightening
I always thought it'd be so rough
Love has sent me down an angel baby
I knew it was grace, just by her touch

What did I do, hey yeah baby
What did I say
For love to smile down on me
And show me amazing grace
Show me amazing grace

Grace's amazing hands, they hold me
They're as soft as a feather bed
