So, today, we worked on the album artwork for my single. We had to release it as a single so that we could get some more radio play before the full album drops. I co-wrote a song called "Eyes Closed"..this song came about because someone came and sat in on a rehearsal I was having and I guess I occasionally close my eyes for a GOOD while when I am playing. This person noticed and told me that when I close my eyes I seem to play even better. Humm? Subconsciously I do it!! The only way I can explain the reasoning is because when my eyes are open, I look for the right thing to play or interpret, but when my eyes are closed I depend SOLELY on my ears and feel. The hook to this song says "When my eyes are closed, my fingertips are all I need to show you what I see when my eyes are closed, and nothing feels more naturally, than to lose control, when my eyes are closed."
I just find it interesting and funny that most people think I am talking about something else in this song LOL! But, there you have it. From the horses mouth! (My sisters used to call me a horse when I was younger because I had high calves and could run really fast) LOL!
Anyway, above is the cover artwork for the single, "Eyes Closed"...let me know what you think. Also, don't forget to take a listen to the sample of this song if you haven't already.
What do you do when your eyes are closed? (Besides sleep)
Cheers!
