This single is a interesting start for Simon Webbe. It predicts a promising album from him later this year. Even though his voice wasn't exactly the strongest in Blue, he seems to be picking up pretty good. I fell in love with this single the frist time i heard it. And i must say "Lay your hands" is the kind of song you put on repeat for your 1-hr drive home after a hard day, without getting sick of it....(atleastidid!)

I like all works of art that go deep into emotions and float on an ocean of sentimentality. That's why I adore the British author Charles Dickens and "David Copperfield" is my favourite novel and that's why I cannot restrain myself from listening to this track again and again. Simmon Webbe's "Lay Your Hands" is a great song deeply soaked in lofty emotions and immersed in imageries and meaphors. It's about the singer pleading his lover to "lay your(her) hands" on him and relieve him of all the pains that he has been thrusted with by a deceitful life. The lyrics are great and possess a overtone of poetry and complement the melody and the tune well. The track isn't a vintage sad song and yet it doesn't invoke much degree of hope. Simon Webbe's voice is heavy and actually bring out the essence of this beautiful song even more vividly. One cannot help falling in love with this song.

I absolutely love this song! I feel that it's the best song on the album, hands down. Simon Webbe has a really good voice anyway, but I think that this song showcases it in the best way possible. His talents were never in the forefront while he was in Blue, but this song definitely does him justice.
