lyrics

When we dance, that’s when I remember
All the ways you can spin me around
It’s not your skill or your style
Or your gaze or your smile
It’s how you hold me, how you’re holding me now

You hold me strong and tender
Like it would hurt you to let me fall down
Like I’m precious and wild
Like I’m a newborn child
It’s how you hold me, how you’re holding me now

And when I’m blue, that’s when I remember
To be grateful for what I have found
Though your words, god, they move me
They comfort and soothe
It’s how you hold me, how you’re holding me now

You hold me strong and tender
Like it would hurt you to let me fall down
Like I’m precious and wild
Like I’m a newborn child
It’s how you hold me, how you’re holding me now

When we make love, that’s when I remember
That we’re dancing on god’s holy ground
More than your body’s fine grace
Or your beautiful face
It’s how you hold me, how you’re holding me now

You hold me strong and tender
Like it would hurt you to let me fall down
Like I’m precious and wild
Like I’m a newborn child
It’s how you hold me, how you’re holding me now

Alice Howe Boston, Massachusetts

To hear Alice Howe sing is to be enraptured by the natural, unaffected beauty of her voice. There’s no artifice, no histrionics — just honest, authentic, emotionally resonant singing in the tradition of the roots music that shaped her.

Her second and latest album, Circumstance, was recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals and produced by her creative partner Freebo (Bonnie Raitt). ... more
