about
With the sensitive and heartening Take My Hand, Clare-based artist Enda Gallery launches 2023 with an ode to the depths of beauty found in friendship.
Take My Hand embodies the most soulful and intimate side of Gallery’s artistry, guiding us through a ceremonial love letter of sincerity with lush piano and heartfelt vocals. This thoughtful and wholesome ballad reminds us of the value we hold to others, alongside the value others hold to us, all while bringing Gallery’s prowess and a songwriter to the fore. Gallery’s voice opens the song, gliding over a warm bed of keys and pulling us into the world of devotion Take My Hand paints. His voice rising into powerful, gospel-inspired tones as the track progresses there’s no question that he means every word he sings. We ride the current of soothing yet passionate keys and voice as the track builds in emotion with triumphant, celebratory horns and drums, eventually to fall like a feather back to earth as Gallery bids the song farewell with the chorus - ‘Take my hand, I will always be
your friend when the world gets too demanding, I will be here understanding.’

LYRICS
When I think of your love I’m free.
It is a secret, silent sea.
And I know how lucky I’ve been
To have even one in this world who sees me.
So long I’ve wasted on things of no value.
So long I wasted never tasting the sun.
We never tell each other how we both feel
So if you’re able to let me be real in this moment
Cos you’re definitely heavenly chosen, my one.
Take my hand.
I will always be your friend.
When the world is to demanding
I will be here understanding.
Oh when it rains it pours.
Friend, I’ll be yours.
Friend, I’ll be yours.
Let me help you heal your heart
Cos every end can be a brand new start.
Let me help your soul to sing.
You know I believe that you can be anything.
For what are dreams but the seeds of becoming?
And what is bravery but trusting your soul?
And what is courage but letting your heart stay open as the midnight sky tonight
To shine on everyone?
Take my hand.
I will always be your friend.
When the world is to demanding
I will be here understanding.
Oh when it rains it pours.
Friend, I’ll be yours.
Friend, I’ll be yours.
