Gemma Hayes - Back Of My Hand

[brokencubetube]

Great songwriter. A real knack for melody, atmospheres, and guitar tones.

[mytube543210]

i think i like the fact that not many ppl know Gemma because i can enjoy her awesome music and look smugly at the ones that don't know sh*t

[grenadoss1]

andree i love you, i love this song it changed my life i know the sadness is deep but it may not last forever.your friend forever xxxx

[survivorgurlll]

someone please tell me why shes not a veryyyy popular artist??

[robertlille]

Fantastic! All her sons/videos are great!

[Surirygirl]

Great song, never heard her before .... looking up more stuff, but what is this video about?

[dandmpug]

What a gorgeous voice and song.

[Zadkinemad]

No esta mal la canción.

[dpknowleseaglese25]

Unbelievably gorgeous woman. I'm in love.

[360crowley]

fuck shes hot

[anerisgreat]

First time I heard her... I'm genuinely impressed!

[3rk4u]

ha ha i think im in love.

[lilavanill]

lol i don't get it ... what is the video about ?

[Gabbo9101]

this is so awesome...greetz from germany :)

[hasnot]

skoi87 and hoofie2, you two are unbelievable. Do you have jobs? Do you do your jobs for free, or do you get paid for the work you do?  Just because you can get your hands on music product for free doesn't make it morally justifiable to do so. Watch Gemma and you'll know that she does play music for fun and for passion, but it's also how she earns a crust. Money hungry cow, indeed. Greedy greedy Gemma, wanting to buy food and avoid having to sleep rough !!

[IfIfsandands]

@hasnot Are you kidding me? She uses any body she can to get where she can. Fuck her. She has an alright voice, but it ends there. I'm not from Ireland, but I know enough to know there's more worthy and talented ladies from Ireland like Cathy Davey. Hayes just doesn't have it.

[rtenewsonone]

Don't comment on a song you don't like you TIT! @IfIfsandands

[BlowDeBloodyDoorsOff]

@rtenewsonone it's the internet, one can do what ever one likes. It's only an opinion. Like arse holes, we all have one. don't take it to heart, we all still lvoe one another really.

[lilplinky]

explain

[lilplinky]

lesss wrinkles ago

[MrTony1969]

I don't get it she's got star written all over her why have I/wenot heard of her over hear in Australia or New Zealand etc etc....

[bertiethefish]

Going to see her later, should be class.....

[its4amandicantsleep]

Can't wait to see her in Cork soon... I think it's October 2nd! :D

[Dinlynch2010]

didnt she used to wear glasses

[roxyluver09]

I will NEVER got sick of this song

[downwords]

i just fell back in love with Gemma, not heard this for a while

[EvilSob1]

gemma, your a fecking inspiration, and soooo under rated. best thing to come out of irish music is a long long time, cant understand why your not a world rated top artist yet.

you go girl, keep blowing me away witht hat incredible voice and awesome talent for writing incredible songs

[darkashley21]

this song is the best. why isnt she famous? theres somethin wrong with my country (U.S.A)

[Keepskatin]

@darkashley21 I agree with you

[hoofie2]

This bint -- Gemma Hayes -- has just been on Irish national TV bitching about file sharing.

She is supporting a move to have anyone who is caught downloading music be blacklisted and banned by their broadband provider.

She is complaining that enough perople haven't bought her most recent album.

Stupid cow.

Make your own mind up about her, but keep in mind her aggressive stance on file-sharing when next you consider buying her "product".

[botor5]

shes my re teachers cousin ;DDD

[MisterDense]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!

[1038LaLa]

she lost her tipp accent! i didnt realise she was irish till i saw who posted the video+google! haha :)

[lovebrody1]

p.s i interpret this as the girl who had a true love but then he fell for her best friend, wierd! x

[lovebrody1]

cant even write how much i love this song, have had this on playlists since i was 15, im 19 now haha

[Icecreeeem]

im gemma

[starsheepie]

I love this song. I heard it on an astralwerks cd I have that came out in 2003 and I've loved it ever since

[AhdioHore]

This is dedicated too my mother Donna DeBarge (R.I.P.)

[EverDalbach]

Thank you Gemma

[dazcelt]

Great song!

[dazcelt]

Well...beautiful woman...beautiful lyrics...beautiful song...she reminisces of her lost love...and the guy on the left is a CIA Gimp...and the guy on the right used to get bullied at school/college(FBI)...but the heist is complete..and she kicked their asses...just like the banker bail out! WAKE UP!

[AngelBallykiss]

I found you by looking at a young British singer songwriter's myspace, she sites you as one of her favourite artists and her names Phoebe Peek - she's just thirteen years old and writes all her own songs, well worth checking out on youtube!! Anyway, love the music, keep it up!!!

[japerritt]

Looking for new music, I stumbled across this. Great pure vocals.. The techno sounding beat really turned me off though, that and the synths. I'd suggest acoustic drums and a slide guitar or cello for the instrumentation melody bit. What do I know though? Different strokes for different folks I know, just my taste.

[kevstonian]

very beautiful voice

[marohnie]

ow it definitely makes sense!!

[thebrad25]

Love the song fucking shit video that makes no sense whatsoever!!!

[LovellsLuvLollies]

i think it means she has to chose between her boyfriend and her family(dad)???

[Satieman]

I think she's asking someone to promise her that they will love her despite the obvious differences between them..

[vAIERIEHARPER121]

what is the song about?

[lilplinky]

adore it,BUT yes,what IS the video about ???

[Satieman]

wow, simply amazing! FANTASTIC SONG!!!!!

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx­xxxxxxxxx

[botor5]

my stupid re teachers cousin

[desasterXromance]

I love this song it explains me..and its plain beautiful

[Nirdjha]

Love 1:15 - great composition.

[THATSKABLAMI]

im in love with her

[THATSKABLAMI]

wen the hell di i say that

[XxiluvuMJ4evaxX]

cool

[freakyfunkyomg]

great song

[MarLume2009]

I love Gemma.

[sarastro84]

wha\t the heck is the video about?

[jesepee0101]

this is seriously such a great song

[mrtubeyoume]

hate to lower the tone but has anyone else noticed how see-through that dress is?

[Sirius1985]

how lovely is Gemma Hayes?

[funnyfurtuson]

@Sirius1985 she could be my waffle

[theblackkiss]

Brill song!!!

[banagherrocks]

Best thing to ever come out of tipp.......

[Scoob505]

No, the most lovely woman to come out of Tipp, not the best. The IRA that pretty much won Ireland's was of independance.

[nside0boi]

did i say i could, im just saying dont knock all modern music and claim gemma hayes is the saviour. didnt insult her and her knack at simple child-like sing-along pop music, she does it well

[stephen180984]

why are u not on top of the world ahha! ur fucking great! this is one my fav songs of all time:) have u gave this a go in USA ¬ ur cool gemma :)

[irishmusiccentral]

she's lives in Los Angeles and there was a special US edition of 'Night On My Side'.

[skycolour1]

Ya what is happening??, but I LOVE her whateve her vid!

[vtecgh]

i didnt get the video?? whats happening??

[sedantez24]

Great voice, great song, great video, great looks

[thebetterjenna]

Yeah she IS great. Pretty bizarre video though- wonder what it means.

[theotherkind44]

wow. I love gemma.

[TirNaNog1979]

Great song...its timeless but so underrated. But the video is unusual.

[xOhTheDramax]

I love this song!!!!!!!!

[shonajoanciara]

I like it, she is very talented

[PawtucketPatriot66]

She's great. Nice to have someone out there with talent in the giant cesspool that is modern music.

[nside0boi]

bit harsh...there is plenty of good music coming through these days. sure your not just a bit out of touch?

[jjirl]

Brilliant song from a breathtakingly beautiful girl, but her new album is dire in my opinion, was so disappointed with it. Around its release she kept giving interviews complaining about writers block or record company interference, so I suspect the latter does come across in the video.

I sincerely hope the next album is a return to form, I haven't given up on her yet

[haribo6979]

go to electric whipcrack for piece on gemma hayes' night on my side in classic irish albums

[kaari]

She is so gorgeous. lovely voice too..

[professionalwid0w]

i love this song.

Can anyone explain the video for me? The two guys following her, and the child with the drawings. it seems symbolic, but im not understanding it.

[chessimprov2]

The two guys following her are her father and someone she had a fling with. They are both on opposite ends of Hayes to show that they are in parallel worlds to her world. The child is left alone through the conflict, then runs along to mommy at the end.

[heatypetey]

my take on it is that the two man represents the global culture industry and the corporations who are all about the money, which is represented by the suit case. She is walking away from them, and they follow behind them but keeping their distance just to watch her every move. The child then stands for the art which is what she's all about and which the corporations just don't get. this song, i think, is her way of saying "take ur money and shove it."

[PawnshopID]

that's good, i like that interpretation of it.

[marko2005]

she should be more famous, shes brill!

[temarichanxxx]

I love her! I just saw here today at the virgin store and she was prefroming and she has a lovely voice.

[Twistedoz]

Great song by a beautiful woman!

[yaelu]

best song ever!

[Koehnson]

I love the lines:

We never really said goodbye

We just kinda left it in the air.

Who hasn't felt that at some time at the end of a relationship?

[comerunwithme]

love this story...

[1femme2]

this is my fav song of hers and i also like nothing can

[illestvillainy]

God smiled on this twice on the birth of this girl- such beauty, in song and in person.

Let everything she hopes for in life come true.

[kissmequick07]

wow. i really love this song!

[aliasolive]

You can count on your hand the number of people that sound better live than the video/cd/etc. I heard Gemma from the bar and left my order there to go and listen to her live. I hope she never ever supports again. There is no need.

[littlemizdani]

is she irish??

[irishmusiccentral]

yes she's from Ballyporeen, Co. Tipperary.

[seapijin]

really obvious isn't it?

great when artists wear their heritage on their sleeve.

[canman1878]

@irishmusiccentral

Wikipedia?

[raulillo724]

I ♥ this song!

[FizzytotheLizzy]

i REALLY ENJOYED EVERY SONG AND LOOK FORWARD TO HER NEW ALBUM.

[nanq89]

Love it.

[lollipopdouche]

im from ireland i saw gemma in liverpool about 5 yrs ago when i was at uni and i brought about 6 mates who hadnt heard of her and we had a fab time and got to meet her afterwards she was so lovely and she should be big

[acousticjim]

There are websites dedicated to finding band members. Piss off because we're not interested.

[elizabethieee]

♥

[vivisvila]

I Liked good voice!

[aliasolive]

[reginaphalange4]

[stephen180984]

[rtenewsontwo]

i love her so much it hurts

[Marcel33]

omg i love her....shes just amazing...this one is really good, i like the lyrics but "easy on the eye" is still my favourite...GET IT NOW!!!

[JenarationX]

Though I still very much like her voice, I cannot hear that emotionally heavy and dreamy sound. Not my favourite. But, cheers.

[okgo143]

new discovery for me, but I'm completly hooked. just trying to find out where to get all her albums.

[1zoolander1]

Gemma Hayes ROCKS!!!!

[ruairimccaul]

[irishmusiccentral]

(and she´s a bloody good fiddle player!)

[Katman888]

That FBI agent is my mate Bazza!!!!

[locmaynooth]

i love this girl

[mickculleton1]

Imagine dropping a talent like that! I remember hearing her on PhantomFM back at the time of the first EP and going "Wow". I'm still going "Wow" today - brilliant artist.

[abbyrose22]

i do not understand what its about?????someone help meeeeeeee!!!!!

[collieuk]

Her best song. Much better than anything on her last album.

[TheDiceMan6]

is this girl the most beautiful girl you've ever laid eyes on...and she jams... just perfect.. go gemma...

[blackpoolsblowin]

I love this song,i listened to this most days for a year before(a good reflection on her or a bad reflection on me,not sure..)Great album too

[30kaka]

she has been droped from her label what a load of bs

[blackpoolsblowin]

Thats crazy..then they let these fools on the radio have free reign,just people with bad taste.

[emmetnorris]

although and i think this is soo ironic. she was championed by Terry Wogan on Radio 2 and was record of the week. yet the "cool" hip stations stick to good old fashioned pop.

[jjj7477]

it's a thing, Irish and tooo good.....

[monkeyeagle]

Wonderful Voice,Great Lyrics...And a Most Gorgeous Woman!!!!I am getting a few of Her C.D.s next week.I LOVE Her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheGingerCat]

i dont want her to get too famous i want to keep her all to myself!!

[draiodoir]

I could Live, Die And Love to this song.... It's beyond words...

[stephen180984]

she needs to re releases this in US its a huge song potentially one of the best around shes hot too

[SWILLYRD]

Dear God almighty I'm in love!!!!

[sebasvard]

Saw Gemma and band just over a year ago, supporting Athlete in Bristol. She completely pwnd them! I would have paid twice the money to see her do the whole gig. Like most men, I really did fall for her that night, and was deluded enough to think that we 'had a moment' at one point!! That is the mark of a truly great artist - they make you completely abandon reason :) Gemma You Are The Best!! (btw i'm over it now - almost :P)

[SWILLYRD]

I'm in love!!!!

[Kazakor]

Saw Gemma in a little club, The Doug Fir Lounge, in Portland, Oregon a couple of years ago. She was breathtakingly beautiful and sang like an angel. The crowd fell in love. It is an absolute crime that this stunning talent isn't dominating the global music scene.

[overtheparkway]

love love love her

This song is phenomenal.

[ellooelloo]

im 13 & you are like an absalutly amazing singer, i wish i could sing like you. Lots of love xx
