Dido – Take My Hand

• 0
  My Opinion:This song is just gorgeous :3 Very intense and emotional. I adore the strings, they really add another element.
  
  I actually found it via a cover song by electronic artist Jurgen Vries, with vocals by Andrea Britton. I didn't even know it was originally written and sung by Dido until I looked it up years ago. I find that I love both versions.

  General Comment:ugh SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
  
  I really relate. it reminds me of just trying to reassure who you're with that they can take your hand and you'll take them anywhere.
  
  And that you will just wait there, waiting for them to come around. "Take your time, and if i'm lying to you, i know you'll find you'll beleive me."
  
  I'll always be alone if i'm lying to you - that lyric always gets me.

  Song Meaning:Agreeing with others, I too have seen Dido live and she explains this as a song she wrote when she was young and discovered sex. She jokingly mentioned how she thought singing it to her love interests would get her laid more.

  General Comment:The song says for itself everything that's worth saying.
  
  This is one of my dearest songs EVER. Dido's voice fading in and out (sorry if my description's bad - I am not really an expert in music).
  
  It makes me cry almost every time when I hear it.
  Simply the best. And I adore Believe (Flu Season Mix) - remix of this song, and its live version.
  I love every version there is.

  General Comment:It reminds me of my ex boyfriend.
  We lost our virginity together and it reminds me of the love we shared for four years. God i loved that boy. Shame how some things end up eh?
  But this is my song to him, so sometimes he might know that once upon a time i would have done anything for him and i loved him with such a passion this song was the only way to describe my feelings.
  Alex. You will always be my first and you will always be remembered. x

  General Comment:It's about love - intense, extreme, all the walls down Love. it's one person trying to reassure the other person that the love they feel is being reciprocated. When you are intensely in love you just vibrate with emotion and these lyrics say it perfectly. "What you feel is what i Feel for you".

  General Comment:yeah, what lucylu said. dido is a very private person and it takes a lot for her to open up to people. but it is about her opening up to someone..

  General Comment:I agree with bryan_420 - I heard her say the exact same thing when she was performing at a festival in England last summer. It's probably about her first love, her first time...
  
  And did I mention I love it? :)

  General Comment:I think this is a great song, perhaps a way of expressing how you feel about someone. "...so sit on top of the world and tell me how you're feeling,
  what you feel now is what I feel for you..."
