Story Behind The Song
This song was written around the time I become a mother for the first time. Its message, in short, is: there isn't much that feels greater in this life than being a parent of a child. A work of love if I ever saw one.
Song Description
"My Arms" is a soft, cradling, airy and touching song with original touches, notably baby's coos brilliantly harmonised by the genius brass section of Brice Moscardini (De La Soul). A Grammy-winner's hand at mastering (Jean-Pierre Chalbos @ La Source Mastering, Paris) makes the sound crystal-clear high definition.

Lyrics
Oh they've held the best of both worlds, they've held the worst of fears
Oh they carried all my burdens they crossed all my frontiers
There's truth and lies, there's paradise, there's courage and esteem
but the best of all - there's you in between
my arms
Yes they're sometimes limp and idle but warm me all the while
Yes and they held me up when I was down, swam me across the Nile
There's skin and hair, fat everywhere, they're not so nice and lean
but the best of all - there's you in between
my arms
There's trouble enough to last a lifetime, wrong and rightful turns
And there's strengt enough to walk you home and heal your carpet burns
There's willingness to climb as high as on has ever been
but the best of all - there's you in between
my arms
