about
Here's what the If It's Too Loud blog had to say about "A Hand to Hold Forever":
"When you see that there's a band called Teeniest and they have a song called 'A Hand to Hold Forever,' you're going to assume that it's the most twee song you've ever heard and expect it to sound like it didn't quite make the cut for the Juno soundtrack. But you'd be wrong... mostly. Sure, "A Hand to Hold Forever" does have some twee elements, but there is a surprisingly dark vibe throughout the song. While the lyrics are filled with love and hope, the music defies that by being fairly unsettling (in a good way). Plus, the song has an unexpected funk and groove to it that just sucks you in. Teeniest surprised us in every way with this one, so we're quite intrigued to hear what they'll do next." www.ifitstooloud.com/2022/01/teeniest-hand-to-hold-forever.html
lyrics
A Hand to Hold Forever
A hand to hold forever in this world
A hand to hold forever
A simple question: what do you want?
Shouldn't have to answer with excuses and caveats
I pursued everything and I felt no fear
At the end of the line everything is clear
All I really need is
A hand to hold forever in this world
A hand to hold forever
It was unexpected, out of the blue
Didn't fear rejection - you knew what was true
The world was no longer what it seemed to me
Just a simple gesture was everything to me
All I really need is
A hand to hold forever in this world
A hand to hold forever
The end is coming, I'm gonna disappear
Memories are flooding, some I hold so dear
One surpasses everything, stands outside of time
Feeling the warmth of your loving hand in mine.
Oh I think I found it
A hand to hold forever in this world
A hand to hold forever
