about

Hands, a tribute to the makers of society.
As a band we pay tribute to these crucial limbs .
Together with craftsmen from our hometown Zwolle and fans who sing and appear in the video.

Making, building and creative hands. At work and at home. Helping, stroking and saving hands. By caring and loving in families and relationships. Hands can make what our eyes can see. Hands can make or break our relationships. We tell a story with our hands.

Hands are valuable tools. For the makers who help shape and keep our society running and for all of us to support each other. Or the encouraging handshake as soon as the rules allow it again. Making, building, creating and connecting hands.

As a band we pay tribute to these crucial limbs by celebrating craftsmen from our hometown Zwolle. The stories of a chef, farmer, furniture maker, artist, motorcycle mechanic, baker and tattoo artist all come together in the new video clip shot by (Dutch 3FM / Radio 2) photographer and filmmaker Bullet Ray (Raymond van Olphen).

The release of Hands is accompanied by a fan contest, in which the fans participated by singing the chorus "build it with your hands" and doing something with their hands.

lyrics

Come all you children
All you lost and lonely
Hear, all you busted
All you waifs and strays

The world is out there
You could be free if only
We use our hands
And free our chains

It ain’t the heartless
It ain't the blinded, baby
Don't be misguided
By their suits and ties

It’s about you and I
Making it together, baby
From where we stand
We build it with our hands

It’s hands that make
Build, create
The valuable and even fake
Hands that help
Caress and save
Build it with your hands
Build it with your hands
Build it with your hands
Build it with your hands

Cry if you want to
It will get you nowhere
Scream at the ones you
Don’t even know

Don’t look for an answer
In your mothers eyes
Think of a new way
To ease your mind

It’s hands that make
Build, create
The valuable and even fake
Hands that help
Caress and save
Build it with your hands

You say your prayers or raise your fist
At least you’ve made a stand
I know it’s more than you can take
You sure could use a friend

From where we stand
Fear is not the end
From where we stand
Build it with your hands
Build it with your hands

Build it with your hands
(repeat)
