Okay my second lyric video. Hope y'all enjoy it. This is one of the most beautiful songs I've heard as far as softer music - lite rock - ballads whatever you wanna call it, still beautiful. Makes me smile.

"There are different ways that people can be touched by it. To me, it’s more of a song of the basic comforts of another human being. Nothing more and nothing less.” ~ Amos Lee

Amos Lee was 21 years old when his mom gave him a gift certificate to a recording studio in Philadelphia so he went to the studio armed with tracks he had been working on while in college, including “Arms of a Woman,” a song he recalls writing on an air mattress in a house in South Carolina in the late ‘90s. 

“That was one of the first songs I ever remember every laying down and getting a reaction to people outside of my family,” Lee, 39, said, “Because the folks that were there at the recording studio were like, ‘Uhhhh, that’s a great song. Who are you?’ I was like, ‘I’m nobody, really. I’m here. I got a gift certificate. I’m just doing my thing. I’m finishing school.’ And that was that.”

Except it wasn’t.

Although a label offered Lee a spec deal on the spot, Lee turned it down. He didn’t feel ready. He wanted to hone his craft more. And so, it would take nearly five years before he would release an album.

“Arms of a Woman” has since taken on a life of its own. It showed up in the 2006 film “The Last Kiss,” has turned into a popular wedding song, and, of course, is now a concert staple.

“It’s been something that’s brought a lot of peace to a lot of people that I know and I’m really grateful to have written it … It wasn’t autobiographical in that it was romantic. It was probably autobiographical in that I think we all long for that feeling … I remember singing that song to my Uncle Jerry when he was passing. I went to his room and that is what he wanted to hear. There are different ways that people can be touched by it. To me, it’s more of a song of the basic comforts of another human being. Nothing more and nothing less.”
