He came from Toronto; she, from Seattle.
He came from Toronto; she, from Seattle.
His parents started a radio station; hers were music teachers.
Both had music in their blood, instruments in their hands, and a mind to create.
The mountains led him to the west; a star led her to the north.
In Vancouver they met and schooledāstudying music and life.
They found promise.
They found love.
In less than a year they put school on hold, got married, and lived.
With music and purpose guiding them, school called again and to Nashville they went.
He became an audio engineer; she became a songwriter; music stayed central and they continued to create.
Entering the Nashville music scene in 2009, Handsome and Gretyl released their debut EP, Hold On Tight Love, February 2011.
Handsome and Gretyl have created an earthy folk feel crossed with an imaginative jaunt of pop, a sweet and tangy piece of wild berry pie. This duo draws from real life, delivering optimistic though realistic lyrics, seasoned with the chill of snow, the sea breeze, and the hope of tomorrowās sunrise.

The song "Waiting" by Handsome and Gretyl is a love song about patiently waiting for the perfect person to come into one's life. The lyrics use imagery of "home" and "heart" to convey the idea that love is not a physical place, but rather a feeling inside us that we carry with us wherever we go. The singer professes their love for someone they believe to be the missing piece in their life, and promises to be true and give them everything they need.
The chorus repeats the phrase "I've been waiting for you all of my life, waiting for you all of my days" which adds to the sense of timelessness and destiny surrounding the couple's love story. The verses are more introspective and focus on the singer's own feelings and journey towards finding their soulmate.
The bridge adds a new poetic layer to the song, using a metaphor of being "still" and "tired" to represent the ups and downs of life's journey, and the sense of peace and relief that comes with finding true love. The song ends on a passionate declaration of love, with the repetition of "I love" emphasizing the singer's overwhelming feelings and commitment to their partner.
