Listen to this when
Your Hand in Mine
No words. Just the feeling of someone holding your hand through the hard part.
Who it's for
Because it is instrumental, the listener projects their own situation onto it rather than being told what to feel, which makes it a flexible container for hope or grief.
Lonely→Hopeful
Feelings it meets
