Human Hands - Sondre Lerche

Sondre Lerche's "Human Hands" off of the album, "Dan In Real Life" (Soundtrack). Enjoy

I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me
Oh darling how I miss you
I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness
I crave the silhouette of your kiss
With only the blue light of the TV on
Lip reading threats and false alarms
There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself
And a girl in a window on the Reeperbarn
Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt
That it's you that I'm dreaming about
Do I have to draw you a diagram?
All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands

With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze
Checkmate in three moves in your heyday
But the girls don't listen to your line anymore
Now you're part of someone else

On the factory floor and you still say "Wheres the action?"
Now you manufacture happiness
And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction

(chorus)

All you toy soldiers and scaremongers
Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder
In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all before

Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly
You know I love you more than slightly
Although I've never said it like this before

(chorus)

It definitely rivals Elvis' version. But Elvis is Elvis and Elvis wrote it, so I can't really argue much.

@TheAnonymousSarah heck YESS!!!!!

[Purkinje90]

@TheAnonymousSarah I really enjoyed it. Steve Carell's great, its heartwarming and heartbreaking at points, its is genuinely funny throughout, and the brilliant soundtrack by Sondre Lerche makes it that much better! I'm not really into chick flicks all that much, but this is one of those few exceptions for me.

@TheAnonymousSarah I thought so.

@Purkinje90 I keep meaning to watch the movie, but I never get around to it. Is it good?

[Purkinje90]

@TheAnonymousSarah If you see Dan In Real Life, you'll understand the pic.

@obunkystaind Everyone stole from the black guys who started Rock and Roll in the 50's. Elvis stole from the guys that stole from the black guys who started Rock and Roll in the 50's. Those black, guys, by the way, stole from the black guys from the 20s and 30s and from the white hillbillies, too. I'm all for stealing, if you can make cool shit out of it. Either way, good tune.

@kevedes no offense to Elvis, I'm sure he's talented & all, but i never could like him & musicians in his time as much after knowing how he stole music from all the black guys who started Rock n Roll in the 50's. some of this i learned in the film, Cadillac Records.

This picture is really creepy. It looks like his nose isn't even there.

[evamarimo]

I love that scene in the movie =)))

I love his voice. It's so dreamy~ I especially love his duet with Regina Spektor called Hell No. :)) I discovered him from that song.
