I think that the song 'Your hand in mine' by explosions in the sky is one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, and I don't even know why it took me so long to get into this band.
Look them up, and if you use the iTunes Music Store, you can hear excerpts or buy their first album there.
There is to be no mention of kite marks here

I'm afraid this song is sullied by association with Tom Lehrer's grisly masterpiece 'I hold your hand in mine', about a man who chops his dead wife's hand off and retains it as a genuinely touching keepsake. *Shudder*.
How was the rest of Holsthell?
I've never heard of this before, so I looked it up, and I've reproduced the charming lyrics:
---------------------------
I hold your hand in mine, dear,
I press it to my lips.
I take a healthy bite
From your dainty fingertips.
My joy would be complete, dear,
If you were only here,
But still I keep your hand
As a precious souvenir.
The night you died I cut it off.
I really don't know why.
For now each time I kiss it
I get bloodstains on my tie.
I'm sorry now I killed you,
For our love was something fine,
And till they come to get me
I shall hold your hand in mine.

Paul - the Monday night was pretty much the final straw for me!
