First time I listened to this I cried and cried. Then I messaged my dad, with a big long message, thanking him for loving me the way I needed. I sent the song as well. Thank you for making this magic, Rachel ♡

rachels talent of singing isnt about partying, or about falling in love or the pain or suffering we endured but rather she shines by telling stories of compassion , those untold stories , the trials that we are all familiar of yet are hesitant to open up about it. She excels at weaving this story of strength; inner strength be it one's inner strength or others

Grandparents, especially Grandma's are truly God's gifts. So glad to find a song that honors them in this way. My Grandma has truly saved my life, and is my hero.

I discovered this song two years ago and it immediately made me think of my dad. I had sent it to him and told him how much I loved him. He passed this morning. I was planning to call him today. Too late. This is the song I will continue to play as I go through the mourning process, Thank you, Rachel.

This song is so good, I'm literally sitting here crying and missing my grandparents. Well played. Madam, well played.

Mom I speak your name. Longing to be held by you. Know you are still with me. Beautiful song. Tears of pure love and gratitude. !

She deserves to be more noticed.

"If, if you get a chance sweetie call me" Words I wish my mother could say to me. 😔

I dedicate this song to my grandparents and my parents ❤️ 🥺😭❤🧡💛💚💙💜💯

I think this is for her grandma. 💗💗💗💗💗😢 So emotional.

such a beautiful song, Rachel. i love it so much. ♥ this song reminds me of my beautiful mom. she passed away last April. it's been 7 months now but still feels unreal. she worked so hard all her life & went through so much but she never really spoke about it. i miss her everyday.. and i can still feel the warmth of her hands. love you mom, my angel♥ "you soldiered storms that you never spoke of built up a world that was all about us If I close my eyes, I can still feel your touch the warm steady shake of two hands that love me too much, that love me too much"

"Hands" Hey, Rachel, just wanted to say "Hi" And I hope everything's going well for you And you have, just having a good time in New York So, sorry I missed you If-if you get a chance, sweetie, call me You were early every weekday to take me home Your car was always the closest to Washington Road Like a blanket I was wrapped in your arms so warm They say Boston's the coldest, but I wouldn't know There was no falling down without you 'round to pick me up And no tears that fell without you help to change my luck And you taught me so much, I could not learn fast enough About how to love someone wholeheartedly You soldiered storms that you never spoke of Built up a world that was all about us If I close my eyes, I can still feel your touch The warm steady shake of two hands That love me too much, that love me too much You took over for your family at just 16 Putting words onto paper, working tirelessly You said, "Your life should just be easy, love. I've worked enough for all of us. Just smile and shoot for stars above and read." There was no falling down without you 'round to pick me up And no tears that fell without you help to dry them up And you taught me so much, I could not learn fast enough About how to love someone wholeheartedly You soldiered storms that you never spoke of Built up a world that was all about us If I close my eyes, I can still feel your touch The warm steady shake of two hands That love me too much, that love me too much Can I hold your, can I hold your hand forever And never let it go? I might never let it go And can I ask you, can I ask you everything That I ever want to know? And, Nana, can you show me how to Soldier big storms and not ever give up And build up a world that is all about love And not close my eyes when the water gets rough To have warm steady hands just like you That love me too much, that love me too much That I'm worthy of, that love me too much That love me too much (It was so nice to see you at my party.) (And having you sit with me. And we were so close.) That I'm worthy of (And-and the singing the song. I was so excited.) That love me too much (So anyway, honey, I love you so much.) (So, so safe travels, bye.)

Pure love of tears that poor down with my full heart. I hope one day this song comes to life! ♡♥

It's a underrated song it should atleast have views in millions ❤️

I cry every time I hear this. I don't usually cry.

I miss my grandma 😢

This just makes me appreciate my mom solo much....I love her and I'm glad she's still here with us.

This is my favorite song in this album . It's so touching and beautiful .
