📝 Lyrics:

I’m keeping my distance
I’ve been running since you,
Packed up your stuff 
At home just kicking myself,
Leaving the phone alone,
And untouched,

If I knocked on your door,
Would you welcome me,
With love and understanding,
If you were standing right here,
With that look in your eye,
I might panic 

And all those little things,
We had are gone,
I’ve lost all my words,

Cause I don’t know if I’m ready or not,
And I don’t want hear you say,
That this was all it was,
And these memories,
Will slowly fade away,
So I’m keeping my distance,

Late nights I’m holding my breath,
I know it’s bad,
and I can’t keep this up,
And you know,
All my love for you,
Was always as true,
As the sky being blue 

And all those little things,
We had are gone,
I’ve lost all my words,

Cause I don’t know if I’m ready or not,
And I don’t want hear you say,
That this was all it was,
And these memories,
Will slowly fade away,
So I’m keeping my distance,

And into the night,
I still feel you by my side,
And I’m wondering why,
Maybe in another life,
I still hear you calling,
I thought we were all in,
I thought we were all in,

THE EYE OF TIME is the Solo-Project of French musician Marc Euvrie. Euvrie's musical development is deeply connected with the French DIY punk and hardcore scene, though he has been classically trained as well. He started to play piano being 9 years old, composed his first pieces with 15 and studied cello at the conservatoire after finishing school. Euvrie used to play in several bands before, being influenced by CLAUDE DEBUSSY, PHILIP GLASS, ERIC CHOPIN, J.S. BACH, MICHAEL NYMAN just as by GODSPEED YOU BLACK EMPEROR, A SILVER MT. ZION or PORTISHEAD, he began to translate his personal reflection of our complex world into music, which initiated THE EYE OF TIME. A self titled debut record, released in Spring 2012, evolved first.

For his debut Marc Euvrie's critical writing exposed a dark look on the present, past and future: Linked to machines and samples, revealing an unnatural direction of the human being's existence. His upcoming release ACOUSTIC is a consequent change of focus. Looking for the motor, the personal needs to survive, he found himself experimenting with only Cello and Piano. Apparently these classical instruments turned out to be a relevant strong signal to go back to the roots with something more natural and simple to start from. Though both records seem to go in opposite directions in terms of sound and concept, a strong underlying layer stays inevitable: The Eye of Time's compositions imply a call to fight for the things we love.

ACOUSTIC might be understood as a counterbalance to The Eye of Time's debut. Where the previous record disclosed the coldness of our time, destructing everything that is meant to be our deep nature and presenting the despair of our situation, Acoustic embarks on a little glimpse of hope: Finding some strength to keep fighting for the nature of things and their vital qualities. Marc Euvrie composed six songs for six different locations and points in time, reaching way back to ancient centuries as well as taking a glance into our near future of a yet unknown place. A very personal travel through time and space, between the beauty of nature (Cisjordania, Norway) and the beauty of hope, which allows humans to dream their dreams (Spain, Poland). Marc Euvries own feelings and thoughts about his life evoke mostly in the last two tracks, where he found a form to intensify what keeps him alive.

Life has become rather busy lately, I want to apologize for not following you as much as I did before. I started working in a local musical school and got few private students. I also performed last week here in Ottawa and going to perform in Montreal next week (Friday 13th, sounds spooky, eh? :) ). If you happen to be in Montreal at that day, drop me a message and I will give you details about my performance.

What else.. Arty got an idea to make videos for the tracks of our 1st album - "Vibrant Universe". Not something fancy, just a home-made video using a cheap camcorder. Here is the first video for the piece called "In the wooden maze":
