about

"These Hands" takes a cold, hard look at domestic violence, an analysis of hands, their potential to do good, and bad, intentions often so promising but falling apart in a flash.
Each of us has the capacity to be calm and rational... but also to snap and lash out. Not everyone can control that.
Pulsating and gothically emotional.

THESE HANDS
(Music, Lyrics & Vocals by Paul Blom - c 1998)

These hands
These hands

These soft caressing hands

These hands



Beautiful, tender hands 

These hands 

These hands! 

These hands!! 



But these kind instruments 

Can turn to stone

Total detriment 

Remorse dies alone 



Same gentle touch 

To a cheek, a face 

Can prove more than too much 

Split a lip in disgrace



No gender rules

This ship of fools

Is sinking fast

Tied to the mast



These hands

These hard working hands

These creative hands 

These Hands!!



These very same hands 

Sending such sweet sensations

So hard to understand

Can cause bruises, lacerations



Tightened grip 

Cuts off air

Life slips 

Muscles tear



Fading light 

The colour night

Is within you

Profess your love in black & blue



These Hands...

On returning to South Africa he started creating music on his own terms, with no restrictions. Anything goes. Coining the term Tekno-Grind for this solo project (which only utilizes bass guitars), the initial intention for what it would sound like resulted in an eclectic beast! ... more
