Album Covers With Outstretched Arms on Them

A mosaic of 16 music album covers with outstretched arms.

Outstretched arms on music album covers are few – that we could find, and we go through a lot of album covers. The meaning can be welcoming and open, powerful and confident, or often spiritual. Many of the outstretched arms are isolated in that they we don’t see the owner of the arms, which looks a little creepy.
