I wrote and recorded this song in 2016. It was intended for a film (that I was ultimately fired from, lol). The song is very easy to play, as I tried to pick the low hanging fruit and not outsmart myself. This was especially important as the score had be in under a deadline.

The opening guitar riff was initially only played once or twice in the piece. The music coordinator for the film jumped on a phone call with me, and asked me to come up with a version that used that riff throughout. I thought that was pretty astute. Gosh, that guy is probably more responsible for writing this song than I am!

This song's title "When I Sleep Your, Eyes Close" is derived from Pablo Neruda's poem, Sonnet XVII. The song (and poem) signifies a love that is so pure, unconditional, and natural -- that it feels like an inherent part of oneself. It's how I feel about my wife, and my son. I am them -- they are me.

When I Sleep, Your Eyes Close - Evan Handyside | fingerstyle guitar

"Life on Mars?" is a highly acclaimed song by the iconic David Bowie. It was originally released on his 1971 album Hunky Dory and later as a single in 1973. The lyrics are surreal and cinematic, depicting a young girl's escapist disillusionment with reality and media. Known for its soaring chorus, the song is often cited as one of Bowie's finest works.

When distilled to a single fingerstyle guitar arrangement -- the otherworldly musicianship of David Bowie is laid bare with brilliant melodies and clever chord progressions. I particularly like the way he snakes his way back into the verse from the chorus. It's mind-blowing.

He was only 24 years old when he recorded Life On Mars?.
