New Demo - "When My Eyes Are Blue"

New and drastically different demo for When My Eyes Are Blue. The song still isn't finished, but as a wise man once said: "Art is never finished, only abandoned."

This song feels like a major departure for me, although I don't know if it will sound that way to you. For one thing, I wrote this song entirely on the piano, whereas most of my songs rely on loops more heavily than I'd prefer.

I also feel like this song differs lyrically from some of my recent songs. As a writer, I'd expect lyrics to be the easiest part of songwriting, but I've found that I really struggle to be honest as a songwriter. It's so easy to fall back on cliches rather than writing a song than really comes from an honest place.

This song feels honest to me.





When My Eyes Are Blue

Talk me down again
Seem to love this ledge
What a view

I've got coffee on
I know you like it strong
You like it strong
Won't be warm for long

And you're waiting for me
To wake up from this dream
From this dream
And I don't want to lie to you
But I'm only sad when my eyes are blue

Twilight's slipping in
It's found me again
Oh, again

And you're waiting for me
To wake up from this dream
From this dream
And I don't want to lie to you
But I'm only sad when my eyes are blue

BRIDGE

And you're waiting for me
To wake up from this dream
But I just sleep

And I don't want to lie to you
But I'm only sad when my eyes are blue
