Invisible Hands (song)
"Invisible Hands" is a song by American singer-songwriter Kim Carnes and the lead single from her eighth studio album, Café Racers (1983). It was written by Martin Page and Brian Fairweather, and produced by Keith Olsen. It peaked at no. 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100, and was nominated for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance at the 27th Grammy Awards in 1985. Background and writing
"Invisible Hands" was written by Martin Page and Brian Fairweather of the British synthpop band Q-Feel. Carnes told ROCK magazine that she was inspired to record the song after reading about a historical case where an English man was wrongly convicted for murder. The real killer confessed his crime only after the innocent man had already been executed. "The title refers to what the murderer was feeling when the innocent man was in prison," Carnes stated. "If I had invisible hands, I would reach out and take you out of jail". Release and promotion
