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 + TAB

The First Noel is a traditional Christmas carol that is generally believed to have originated in Cornwall, a region in southwestern England with a rich Celtic heritage.

The carol's Cornish roots are evident in its name, "Noel," which is derived from the Cornish word "Nowel," meaning "Christmas." The song's melody and structure also bear similarities to other traditional Cornish carols.

While the exact date of its composition is unknown, The First Noel is thought to have been written sometime in the 18th or 19th centuries.

I'm a huge fan of artists like Jeff Buckley and Loreena McKennitt -- who tend to accentuate their cover songs with long, ethereal preambles and bridges. For "The First Noel" I wrote an introduction in the minor key, and added a post chorus. I believe this adds some depth to the piece, signifying Mary and Joseph's journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem
