Social Media Choice – Brandy Clark’s ‘Hold My Hand’
This week’s social media choice selection is ‘Hold My Hand’ from Brandy Clark. As the chosen artist for the week, we asked people to shout their favourite song from Brandy and ‘Hold My Hand’ received much love!
In the video above, recorded in 2014, Brandy talks us through how ‘Hold My Hand’ came about. The track appeared on Brandy Clark’s incredible ’12 Stories’ album and was written by Brandy alongside Mark Stephen Jones.
Full Lyrics
Raven is the color of her long, curly hair
Red is the dress that she knows how to wear
Bluest eyes I’ve ever seen – maybe just a touch of green
Oh, she could steal most any woman’s man
This’d be a real good time to hold my hand
Red is the dress that she knows how to wear
Bluest eyes I’ve ever seen – maybe just a touch of green
Oh, she could steal most any woman’s man
This’d be a real good time to hold my hand
She walked up and said, “Hello, it’s been awhile”
Don’t think I didn’t notice the nervous in your smile
Wasn’t that long ago you were a whole lot more than friends
This would be a real good time to hold my hand
Don’t think I didn’t notice the nervous in your smile
Wasn’t that long ago you were a whole lot more than friends
This would be a real good time to hold my hand
Don’t let this moment linger
Now would be a real good time
To reach out with your fingers
And get ’em tangled up with mine
Let her know for sure
That I’m more than just a soft place to land
This’d be a real good time to hold my hand
Now would be a real good time
To reach out with your fingers
And get ’em tangled up with mine
Let her know for sure
That I’m more than just a soft place to land
This’d be a real good time to hold my hand
If I’m your future and she’s your past
If it’s over with her and our love’s gonna last
If it’s over with her and our love’s gonna last
Don’t let this moment linger
Now would be the time
To reach out with your fingers and get them tangled up with mine
Let her know for sure that I’m more than just a soft place to land
Oh, this would be a good time
This’d be a real good time to hold my hand
Now would be the time
To reach out with your fingers and get them tangled up with mine
Let her know for sure that I’m more than just a soft place to land
Oh, this would be a good time
This’d be a real good time to hold my hand

My favorite Brandy Clark song! Of the 4,261 songs in my i-tunes library, it’s #7 in frequency of plays. My wife and I saw Brandy at the Bluebird Cafe 5 years ago and at the Nashville City Winery about 18 months ago. She’s puts on a great show. Hope to see her again soon.
