Sorry, I'm a day late, but not a dollar short!
"Lay Your Hands on Me" is one of my faves from the 80's. I like the Carribean-based percussion--the marimba and the hand percussion--it gives the song a breezy feeling.
The subject of the song, however, is not so breezy. The persona is giving up, tired of life. Yet by the end of the tune, he feels empowered, rejuvenated, all from the mysterious, redemptive power of love. This song never fails to lift my spirits.
