When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face When someone else instead of me Always seems to know the way Then I look at you And the world's alright with me Just one look at you And I know it's gonna be A lovely day..... When the day that lies ahead of me Seems impossible to face When someone else instead of me Always seems to know the way Then I look at you And the world's alright with me Just one look at you And I know it's gonna be A lovely day...

Bill Withers - Grandma's Hands
Bill Withers - Grandma's Hands Lyrics: Grandma's hands Clapped in church on Sunday morning Grandma's hands Played a tambourine so well Grandma's hands Used to issue out a warning She'd say, "Billy don't you run so fast Might fall on a piece of glass "Might be snakes there in that grass" Grandma's hands Grandma's hands Soothed a local unwed mother Grandma's hands Used to ache sometimes and swell Grandma's hands Used to lift her face and tell her, "Baby, Grandma understands That you really love that man Put yourself in Jesus hands" Grandma's hands Grandma's hands Used to hand me piece of candy Grandma's hands Picked me up each time I fell Grandma's hands Boy, they really came in handy She'd say, "Matty don' you whip that boy What you want to spank him for? He didn' drop no apple core" But I don't have Grandma anymore If I get to Heaven I'll look for Grandma's hands rights go to their owners

Bill Withers Interview for Soul Power
Bill Withers (born July 4, 1938) is an American vocalist and hall-of-fame songwriter who performed and recorded from 1970 until 1985. Some of his best-known songs are "Ain't No Sunshine," "Use Me," "Lovely Day," "Lean on Me", "Grandma's Hands", and "Just the Two of Us". Bill Withers was born the youngest of nine children in the small coal-mining town of Slab Fork, West Virginia. Raised in nearby Beckley, West Virginia, he was thirteen when his father died. He joined the United States Navy at eighteen and served for nine years, during which time he became interested in singing. He began writing songs to fill a need for lyrics that expressed what he felt. Following his discharge from the Navy in 1965, he moved to Los Angeles in 1967 to pursue a career in music. Withers worked as an assembler while recording demo tapes with his own money, shopping them around and performing in clubs during the night. When he debuted on the music scene with "Ain't No Sunshine" he refused to give up his job because be believed the music business was a fickle industry and that he was still a novice compared to other working acts. In early 1970, Clarence Avant of Sussex Records signed Withers to a record deal and assigned Booker T. Jones to produce his debut album. Just As I Am was released in 1971 with the tracks "Harlem" and "Ain't No Sunshine" as singles. The album was a hit and Withers began touring with a band assembled from members of The Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band: drummer James <b>...</b>

Bill Withers - You
This is probably one of my FAVORITE Bill Withers and one that it seems only gung ho fans know about. While Marvin Gaye has often gotten credit for being so willing to sing about failed relationships in a frank manner (particularly on "Here, My Dear" from '78), a lot of people forget that Bill Withers was doing the same thing perhaps even earlier. When I first heard this song as teenager I was caught completely off-guard by how blunt and direct Bill was in this song. If this is the same protagonist from his earlier hit "Use Me"--who was standing on shaky ground in his relationship--than it looks like things DEFINITELY took a turn for the worst. I guess he got tired of being treated rudely in front of high-class people and finally retaliated. Gossip then and now says that this song, along with "Use Me" and "Ain't No Sunshine", were about his brief marriage to Denis Nicholas. All of the songs from that period, the one's I named above as well as songs like "Who Is He and What Is He To You?" and "Hope She'll Be Happier With Him", collectively tell one HELL of a story...intense but artistic, blunt but not trashy. As a guy, I really appreciate songs like this. We usually don't get to tell our side of the story. It seems that women prefer to hear Babyface-type stuff from us ("I'll cook your food, I'll run you bath, I'll wash your draws, etc.), but after being taken advantage of, some of us are rightfully distressed.

bill withers - i can't write left handed
bill withers - i can't write left handed "We recorded this song on October the 6th. Since then the war's been declared over. If you're like me you'll remember it like anybody remembers any war; one big drag. Lot of people write songs about wars and government...very social things. But i think about young guys who were like i was when i was young. I had no more idea about any government, or political things or anything. And i think about those kind of young guys now who all of a sudden somebody comes up, and they're very law-abiding, so if somebody says go they don't ask any questions they just go. And i can remember not too long ago seeing a young guy with his right arm gone. Just got back. And i asked him how he was doing. He said he was doing alright now but he had thought he was gonna die. He said getting shot at didn't bother him, it was getting shot that shook him up. And i tried to put myself in his position. Maybe he cried, maybe he said...i can't write left -handed" (etc.)

Bill Withers - Grandma's Hands (live at Carnegie Hall) [audio]
Lotta folks of all different nationalities and thangs, come up to me and say, "I dug my Grandmother, too." And I remember, the first responsibility I ever had was to take care of my Grandmother, make sure she got everywhere OK. And at that time I was maybe 5 or 6 years old. And the most I could ov done was let her fall on me if she decided to fall. But it was a hip job, becos Grandma never went no where but the Church. And it wasn't one of them sad churches, where they sing them songs and make you wish you could just hurry up and die and get it over with. One a them kind of "Lead me on...", no, no.... Grandma them had one a them churches where they sung "If you wanna help me Jesus, it's alright. If you wanna help me Jesus, it's alright". And at the funeral they used to have to tie the caskets down! Yeah. Yeah. And they had them fat sisters in there, used to get so glad, in the rhythm, had a little stove in the center of the church for heat, and invariably, one of them fat sisters would feel so good she would jump onto the stove and holler "AOW!" right in the rhythm. Grandma was like Bobbye over here, Bobbye Hall, she had a tambourine and a triangle. When I saw Bobbye with that tambourine and triangle, I couldn't help but hug her. But Grandma couldn't play the triangle good like Bobbye can, but she could deal with the tambourine. So I used to sit on the triangle and hand her the tambourine. And the Honorable Reverend back there had an old bass drum that somebody gave him <b>...</b>
